Slip Slidin Report 9/15 and 9/16

[slip slidin]

Weather finally decided to cooperate for a little while. So we took advantage of the opportunity. Yesterday, headed out with Biscoto, Squid, and JMS-ILM. We trolled offshore for the first part of the day and bottom fished the second half. We were fortunate enough to get a couple of wahoos in the box and missed several short strikes on the planer rod. Not much action on top.




We picked em up early afternoon and decided to put these tasty little morsels to use.



A few critters decided to give em a try.





While bottom fishing, a few gaffers cruised by looking for a meal. Squid and I had two of them hooked up but did a fine job of blowing it due to pulled hooks and locked down drags. Biscoto got a shot at the one that took my bait and he didn't blow it. Here is a pre-gaff shot.



And the after the gaff shot.



Final line up.



Day two.

Biscoto and I took my dad out for a while to try and find a gag for him and possibly an American Red Snapper. We found quite a few gags and ARS's. The old man put the whammy on them. Here are a few shots.







Laid back with my mind on my fish and my fish on my mind!



Great two days. Need many more like them. Enjoyed it as always fellas. Biscoto, thanks a lot for helping to make the old man feel like a kid in a candy store. No complaints. Life is good. Slip.

two very fine days. So much for a shortage of ARS?

Glad to see you get a little hoo action - it is that time of the year
