2/25/2008 - Purpose One

Guest starring SkinneeJ, Greg1, and Eric. For those who fished Sunday instead of Monday, let me just say, “I am sorry to hear that”. Monday was absolutely beautiful down south, nice glassy seas and you could have run anywhere you wanted. We went out to the big ledge and pretty much stayed there all day. We saw the water temp hit 70-71 at one point, but didn’t see a flyer all day long. We saw 3 sun fish and 1000’s of small bonitas (those wahoo should be getting pretty fat right now). Overall, we had a pretty good day and caught some interesting critters including some of the biggest b-liners that I have ever seen. If only the SAFMC would put down their remote controls and get up off of their couch and do some fishing they might see that vermillions and red porgies are some of the most numerous fish in the ocean. We also caught 5 kitty mitchells which is the most I have ever seen in one day and caught huge red porgies all day long. I actually caught a double kitty mitchell slam on a 2 hook rig.

Summary

7 Red Snappers (released a few more, but biggest red was ~20#)
6 scamps (biggest from greg was ~18#)
1 nice gag (P-diddy-1)
1 Queen trigger
5 kitty mitchells (yes, we released all but 1)
several nice sized triggers
12 red porgies (and released probably 50-60 more would be keepers)
40 Vermillion (half were probably over 20-22 inches long)
a dozen or so BSB
1 nurse shark

Thanks for all that hard work. I could hear those electric reels zinging all day…umm…uummm…ooww…etc:wink:

Jason, Did you get Rick to smile at all??? 2 Kitty’s on one drop is as rare as 11 YFT’s in January!

“Back home we got a taxidermy man. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him”

I just want to now whether Purpose One has earned his wings around here yet…

Actually, yes. He smiled 4 times yesterday but they didn’t last long and I couldn’t get the camera out in time.

I think it's safe to say so... We still have quite a bit more to work on with Phin though...

Thanks for the trip Rick. I had a great time.

From now on be sure to feed that fat girl something hardier than soup.

Nice work!

Yes…we need proof!:slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry guys. As I mentioned before, there were no pictures of the smiles. I can assure you that it did happen though. Greg might have snapped a few fish pictures though.

He hasnt even experienced the Spring Pelagic run here and you guys are ready to hand him the key to shem creek??????

Or is it since Craig fished with him?

Craig is a boat whore without morals.

He took the bait like a jugbelly redfish on an olive and white clouser.

That stems from an old thread between Phin & Skinny.

Who is Craig?

“Craig” also stems from another thread, among others.

I’ve always known Craig as the midgiemullet. I think he used to be a little guy with a mullet. Or a big guy with a little mullet… I dunno.

Luke 8:22-25

“Craig” is the black ops name of Greg1. It’s kind of like Jason Bourne is David Webb.
