After a good weekend on the water we like to reflect on the good times and new experiences. We had pleasure of taking out some very good friends out this weekend for a fishing excursion and a little R and R. Deputy-Deacon we will call him, and the name explains it all, His lovely wife and our buddy Eric. (We have left out certain names as a professional courtesy)

Keeping in mind the extremely high tides and very low tides that we encounter during this time of the month, corresponding with our notorious shallow channel. We had limited time to get out deep or get down and messy with the Mackerel. We started out possibly looking for trout, but this seemed to be futile do to boats sitting on most of our holes.

We ventured out towards 23 feet of water for a little Grey snapper action. Not a bad turn of events while we were out there. A couple small grouper surprisingly enough, some Black Seabass, lots of Grey Snapper and a mess of Squirefish.

The funny thing of the day was, “we are always conscious of what the poles are doing” and sometimes you just get a feeling of something is going into the water. After mentioning this once or twice, we here a ca-plunk and an Uh’Oh………………. Well the water was very refreshing and I only had to go down about 9 to 10 feet when I grabbed the pole. Knowing the pole dropped out of someone’s hand and not something large pulling the pole into the water of course. On the other hand I was in 23 feet of murky water and decided to get back into the boat as quick as possible.

This sort of thing actually changed the mood of the day. Everyone wanted to go for a swim from that point. We wound up in 3 foot of water off of Calidisi Island for some R and R.

The meaning of the day

After heading out and watching everyone handle them selves on a unfamiliar boat or for some, their first boat trip on the Gulf. We knew it was going to be a nice and relaxing day.

We had a extremely good time and welcome DeputyDeacon and his family back anytime.
