Friday Fishing Fun!

The gulf calmed down Friday and we got to make a run out to the deep water for some excellent bottom fishing. Just the usual suspects: Larry Iman, Capt. Dave and boat owner Ron Schlitt, and yours truly of course.

If there were ever a more perfect day for fishing offshore, I've never seen it. The wind was calm, the temperature moderate and the seas glassy for most of the day.

Capt. Dave is a very experienced guide and knows where the fish are, so we caught a great number of fish including the ones pictured here. We also caught a boat load of red snapper which had to be put back since that season is closed till March.

Just thought you might like the pictures. I can't resist throwing in at least one photo of the water as we come home.

Two Happy Guys!

Always a pretty sight!
