The fishing continues to be great. The mangrove snapper and red snapper are plentiful and large. The AJ's have shown up and are biting anything that you put down to them. Also I haven't caught one yet but Capt Eric has caught one, the Tarpon have come around. Jimmy Wagespack came with his gang and did a good number on the fish and put the largest red snapper of the year in the boat. The snapper went 29 pounds. Next was Wayne Bearb and he likes anything that pulls especially mangroves. They stacked the box with red and mangrove snapper, cobia, and AJ's. then came Jimmy Comeaux and gang from Tenn. They wanted an overnight tuna trip but with the weather situation and the on and off tuna bite we stayed in and fished the sure thing. First stop I told them was a warm up and they warmed up fast. Putting a limit of red snapper in the box very fast. The snaps were all around 10 pounds. Then on to mangroves. We were having a good day with the groves and Capt Eric calls and tells us the AJ's are hot and heavy to come now. We get there and its game on, with AJ's on every line. With Eric having half of the group I didn't want to come up short at the weigh in so it was off to stack a few more mangroves before heading in. Eric was after a wahoo. I put just enough fish in to beat out Eric's bunch. The second day of the Comeaux trip was more of the same except for a little 3 hour delay for a broken main engine belt and rough seas. I still have days open during snapper season so call now. For your day call Capt Tommy Pellegrin 985-851-3304.
