Late Snapper Opener 1 Oct 2010

Sun, 03 Oct 2010 00:16:30 EST

Hit some rubble piles South of Pascagoula. The snapper were all too eager to jump in the box. Largest went between 25-30lbs, but most went in the 10-15lb category. Any bait that went down was almost instantly inhaled..squid, pogy, dines. We even caught a couple on float lines that we had out for kings! Ended up trolling a bit and catching some kings and spanish. We did have a unusuall catch for 60ft deep water....4 mahi showed up all of them around 20-25lbs or so...ended up catching one on a floatline, and hooked and lost another on a quickly thrown sardine. Fun stuff! The water was beautifully clear and the 3-4ft seas we had in the morning laid down to 1-2's despite the forcast for the ride home.

Where did my favorite rig go?

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:55:50 EST

Headed out to my old favorite rig to find it has been removed between our last trip in October and now....bummed out I headed to another rig. It was nice....clear water and hoards of fish met us and gave us a personal aquarium. Lots of hardtails, a few cobia, and grouper on my favorite lure... We picked up a couple MONSTER snapper and almost cried as we vented and released them....maybe we will catch them on the 1st of June when the season opens. They were both just over 30lbs!! We weren't even looking for snapper either...we actually were trying to stay away from them and catch other species we could take home for the grill. Ended up catching a small cobia....of course the others that were with him were all at least 35lbs with one that would have gone 60+.... They didn't want anything we offered them.... Water temp was right at 70 and it was nice to have beautiful seas and weather for a change.

Headed offshore to the "radar" rig. Water temp was 65.5, air temp 72 for a high, 55 for low. Wind was E @ 10-15, seas 3-4, building to 4-7. Approximate catch was 5-10 snapper on the large side 10-25lbs, lots of 25 inch redfish. Left after a hour, tails tucked and headed in. Anchored on the Bar, caught 5-7 blacktips, kept 2 and about the same number of keeper sharpnose. 1 legal cobia caught by both our boat and one very near. Water was stained and 67 degrees at Horn.

Keesler Dolphin II, offshore 2 April 2010

Rough water, headed SE out of Dog Keys Pass in steady 4-5fters. Stop at the nearshore rigs and caught a few blacktip, snapper and loads of whitetrout that were unusually small 12 inches. Tried the ol' Horn Hole...didn't produce anything but a small sharpnose.

Hot Summer day!

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:24:09 EST

Well we hit the water in the back bay at about 7 am, High tide and warming already. It was hot and it was slow but steady. We had to be in by noon so we worked the shorline marsh and islands with chartreuse cocoho minnows. In 4 hours we had 2 reds, 4 good flounder along with a couple of small trout and one wayward croaker. Not a good day but caught enuff to eat anyways.

Snook Fishing Nights!

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:30:01 EST

Fishing for monster snook at night with artificials. I would rig a white bicktail or shrimp grub or paddletail in 1/4oz. Using this rig I would go up on the south side bridge walkway on the east side and slowly walk down the bridge bouncing the jig off the bottom. I tore into a lot of snook this way and quite large ones at that! Side benefits were quite a few redfish and trout when they were running. Bring a flying gaff you can slide down to the fish.

Back bay biloxi

Mon, 25 May 2009 16:26:33 EST

Casting for reds and trout on the falling tide. Start out with a cocoho (chartreuse) minnow fishing the points of the sandbar islands and watch for the gulls congregating. If you see the birds the trout are schooling under them! Reds will be 8+ and the trout will run 2-4lbs when you can find them.

Feb 15th 2009

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:57:28 EST

What a difference a few degrees of water temperature makes. Launched out of Smallwood Park. 3 days prior the high temperatures warmed up the water to 47 Degrees. During the day of fishing a cold front was passing through and winds blew 15 to 20 out of the north by noon. All in all a great day of fishing for February. Caught a total of 14 Bass with the largest about 5 lbs. Some fish on crank bait, rattle traps and spinner bait. Fish were very aggressive and one of the keys to the day was to find clearer water.
