Headed out of East Pass about 7:30 noticed the low dark cloud about seven miles out. Seas were smooth, no rain, no wind, and no lighting so I didn't worry much about it. Got closer to the cloud line and my son pointed out a water spout about two miles to the West. Ran under the cloud line and watched as two more touched down behind us in the next fifteen minutes Got to the Yamaha with only one other boat there. Let a couple of my trout fishing buddies from North Georgia play with the AJs for a while. I always love the look on their face when the AJ eats and then slams them in the corner of the boat Headed over to O tower for more bait and fed a 3lb blue runner to one of the resident barracuda. Got one jump out of him before he cut the steel leader. Ran to a couple of numbers and rounded out the box with three gags to 15# plus a couple of snapper around 7#. Everything caught on live bait. Smooth ride back in and then got boarded by the Coast Guard in the river. All my safety gear was in order so I got a copy of the inspection to keep. Very professional and polite young men Cleaned up the boat and finished up the day with raw oysters and cold ones
sounds like an eventful day those spouts can certainly get your attention....nice report ( I was beginning to think no one went off shore this weekend....no reports posted til yours)
Good report SC!
Sounds like heaven on earth ...plenty of fish...oysters....and Cold beer!
