Thnx guys
Rip, the link didn't work
WOW!!!!!! what a day!!!! I didn't get sick! We didn't go "deep" sea fishing. We stayed in San Antonio bay, but far enough out as to bairly see land. Avg depth is 3.5 feet, but it gets to about 12" in areas. We had 19 people from the company fishing this morning and we brought back 132 fish
The boat I was on cought the least amount of fish. We only kept 8 fish. 2 speckeled trout, 1 red drum and 5 black drum (4 of which were mine and the 2 largest were mine 20" and 19"
) We didn't get so much as a bite for the first 4 hours and it looked like it was going to be a bust. But at about 11:30 or 12 one of the boats called our boat and said they were catching black drum 2 and 3 at a time, so we went to that spot. In the next 2 hours I must have landed 25 fish myself, most of which were under the limit.
I was the lucky one on my boat though, I feal real guilty too. I caught 25 or so drum, while the next largest amount caught on our boat was Joe, who cought only 5, 2 of which were keepers a black drum and a trout. The poor bastards would throw their bait in literaly 2 feet from mine and I'd get a strike while theirs just sat there
The really bad part was that I missed about 15 more strikes. I'd throw the line in and before I could get the slack out of the line a fish would hit my bait and I wasn't able to set the hook.
I'd have to say that besides being realy tired and drunk (2 hours sleep after 2 margaritas and 8 beers
) this was the best fishing trip I've been on. I've got about 5-6 lbs of fish in the freezer, way more than I thought I'd have. HEHEHEHEHE it took the guides over 3 1/2 hours to clean all our fish! I'm going back in september when they say the fish realy bite
