8.28.13
Made it out yesterday for an offshore run.
The forecast was for less than 1' waves. Off course that wasn't correct, as we made the turn in front of Ochlockonee River, we quickly realized that we were going to plan 2. Didn't really have a plan 2.
David and I ended up on the barge at the 24 marker for a while. He got snapped off by something with big teeth. We thought the waves may be laying, so we headed further out and finally ended up at the ledge.
David caught a keeper red grouper on his first drop and I was spooning up grunts and one trigger fish.
We figured it was time to get back to the hill and the 2-3' waves we had to head into coming out were now our following sea. Jeez.
Then we hit a huge field of grass that was out in front of Alligator Point. We idled through it and had to stop and clean the prop as the grass got entangled all over the motor and transducers.
I was happy to get back to the hill and get my sea legs back.
Got a good mess of grunts for fish tacos and a nice grouper filet out of the deal.
