Offshore Panama City 6-1-10

Went offshore with some friends early morning for the opening of snapper season. The endangered red snapper were plentiful on all our spots ranging from 25 miles to 36 miles offshore. Fished from 130 - 170 feet of water using live pinfish and squirrel fish. Average fish weighed around 10-12 pounds with a few smaller and larger mixed in the bunch. Caught a few gags, a few dolphin and some triggers and B-liners while fishing for bait offshore. We could not stay at any of our spots for longer than a few drops or you would end up playing tug of war with flipper...and most of the time flipper would win. Those 300 pound critters sure do pull hard!
