This past weekend I was blessed with another opportunity to go off-shore fishing. This time with Justin, Glenn, Papa Bear, and friends. Glenn had some of his in-laws come down from Canada to take all of them fishing. I was so excited about being able to go out there.
We left from the camp around 6 in the morning. We stopped and fished as we went further and further out into the Gulf of Mexico. After a couple of stops I started getting sick. Justin was nice enough to get sick next to me, making it a lot easier for me to let it out. Justin gained control of himself again and had more fun fishing. I had caught a couple of fish by then and I just kept getting sick over and over. I knew I would get sick out there, what I did not know is that I could no longer seek "dry land" on the platform. It is illegal to set foot on those things now. So I was stuck in the boat. I had a blast while I was catching fish, but I was not having any fun at all once my stomach took over and kept me sick.
The other people on the boat did well. We caught a limit of red snapper, a lemon fish, a rainbow runner, and a trigger fish. That is just what we kept. There were plenty of hard tails (thanks to JT), plenty of bull reds, and other fun fish. One thing that was really cool to see was a HUGE marlin jumping out of the water catching other fish. Of course we tried to catch it, but never had any luck.
Here are some pictures from the weekend:
