I'm either heading out of here Saturday and fishing the Pride and some numbers on the Pipeline, OR I'm heading to Louisiana for an overnighter with some of my old crew from back home. Either way, I'll be sure to put up a report.

Glad someone got to fish. I take it you fished Friday? I'm hoping to get out next weekend to knock a little dust off before I head to Venice the week after. Of course, the weather will probably suck for both of those trips too.....

I just typed in a reply to say how annoying the Red Snapper have been on my last few trips out and my reply disappeared? Hope I can still catch them on June 1. Every single one of them has been well over the legal size and they are voracious. Most of the Mangroves I have caught recently here have been 4-5 pounds. Here's one from back home that was just a little north of 11#

Name is Gordon- formerly of Mississippi/Louisiana fame until the authorities found out I know Snapperhead and I was moved to the Tampa area as part of the Witness Protection program. Boat- 23' Center Console which I had a solid offer on 2 weeks ago in my hopes of moving up, BUT since I just spent $2K on it I have to hold on to it for a while longer. Great boat, just wanting something bigger and faster. Tackle- Too damn much, mostly Shimano and Avet.

Name is Gordon and I live in Lutz, but launch out of Ft Desoto. Just moved down here from Mississippi about a year and a half ago. I do pretty well on Snappers(Mangrove, Yellowtail, and Red) but have only caught a few keeper Grouper- of course, I am generally targeting Snapper so that may be why Plan on doing a little more trolling this year and a lot more fishing- hopefully. Fish out of a 23 Seaswirl Center Console with single Yamaha. Caught this Sailfish trolling from a bottom spot to the Mexican Pride last year.
