We got there around 9 and fished til 1. We caught 4 fish total. 3 happened to be the "bait steelers". dont know what they were? and one was what I thought could be a snapper but it wasnt red? Any clue? Should of taken a pic.

Got a few questions...we fished the reef some and also in front of turkey point and ended to the northwest of Dog Island about a 1/4-1/2 mile from the island. We had a spanish bite i think? It cut my line (didnt have a leader on)? What else can we do to be successful? We were using mixed color gulp, gold spoon, and a spook. we ranged depths and played in spotty bottoms and went to where other boats were at. Anyone having success?

Last question....the boat was acting up as we were going in. We would cruise fine around 20 mph and when we raise the throttle at full throttle it would accelerate up to speed fine for about 30 seconds and then go back down to slow speed. Its like the fuel wasnt getting to the carb enough or something? Or a prop bearing issue? Thanks for yalls help guys!

Sounds like a fuel line issue. Or the fuel filter. Gotta love that ethanol.

Fuel filter or maybe fuel pump. I just changed my fuel pump and filter.

we need to do that i guess. we run ethanol free. so we shall see
