First day at Mexico Beach and my wife asked to hang close to the house.
Thats ok- we have a week and the sister in law and her husband are coming tonight...

So I went surf fishing between storms.
I hooked my first red about 12....
He fought well and stripped a lot of drag.... then he hit the beach... :(

It did fight like the dickens.... :thumbup:

Then caught my first pompano on an sand flea just outside the breakers
He stripped a lot of drag.... and finally gave up the fight in the bereakers just before a storm hit....

Ok so they were a Bullnose ray and a black drum- but I was steps from the house and it was still fun...

Tomorrow I'm going real fishing
:thumbup:

Barry,

I forgot you were headed out there. Good luck this week. I've never caught a black drum out of the surf, but if you play around near the Inter Coastal there you'll find some more :lol: Pretty fun fish.

This is proof you are delusional and not qualified to surf fish, you may be harmless but there is no doubt you are nutty as a fruit cake and should make a coffin shaped sand castle.

Sorry I just wanted to be like my former mentor Mudducker.

You can't be like me....you ain't nice enough. After all, I've taken your loud mouth out fishing several times and I haven't left you for the sharks....yet :smt005

However, you would do well to learn more about surf fishing...I'm sure you are qualified to captain that trip. :smt005
