Spent a week in Panama City and was able to make it offshore 3 days , and man was it good fishing .
First trip last Sunday , we got out in 180 feet and put one lure in the water and high speed trolled for 20 minutes. In that time we boat two 6 foot long wahoo and now have a problem. Neither will fit anywhere. We bust out the fish bag and ice them down and proceed to bottom fish as we only have 4 bags of ice left and any more wahoo would have been a issue. We boated Gags to 55 pounds ,Jacks to 60 pounds, Snapper to 30 pounds , A 25 pound bull dolphin on the high speed lure in 130 ft ,Countless 10 pound scamps and generally limit style fishing till we left them biting at 4 pm. Never got deeper than 215 ft.
Trip two: same story minus the wahoo , limits of everything you can keep , released 4 boat loads of fish and called it quits early again.
Trip 3 : Had to work for it as the wind was out of the east and the swell and current sucked till 2. Then some how i miss calculated our fuel and ran dry on one tank in the diesel. Never a good thing , though i was able to re start her and off we went . Finished the day with limits of everything you can keep once again , no troll fish. once again fish no deeper than 215 ft
Fished cobia 2 days , and saw NADA but caught Kings , Black Drum , Jack Cravelle, and cero.
Headed out for 2 day friday so stay tuned as fishing is off the hook !
That's awesome Mike!!! Got the kids into it too! I have to come out your way sometime! Looks like fun!
