Blacktide Charters Bottom fish Bonanza

Invited a few friends to join me(Capt.Ric) on a birthday fishing trip. I had two call outs and a no show. Only my best friend showed up at the Landing. Loaded the boat and headed out to 325 ft for Tuna. No birds, or any signs of life. After trolling for 2 hours headed back in and found a large structure in 165ft loaded with fish. Dropped a rig to investigate and 6 hours later ended up with lots of fish and 4 sore arms. Great ride going and coming back. Thanks again Derrick for making my 38th birthday awesome

Gotta ask…what is that fish just to the left of the two triggers?

In the future, where every stranger poses a potential threat, knowing the predator mindset is the only safe haven.

And I hope you had a pile of people on the boat.

What was the bait of choice on these guys?

Is it me or are those pinkies aka red porgy?

No Queens in that picture, red porgies and Vermillion snapper. So you had nine people fishing with you?

Knowing the regs can be a pain in the rear!! i realized today I was off on the pinkies size limit yesterday. I had in my mind that they were 12 but I didn’t put any in the box yesterday. The couple in the box were closer to 16" caught by another crew member.

We counted fish mid day, then kept track til we got our limit then counted again before we headed to shore. We also measured all close looking fish a second time with a bent butt redfish metal ruler to ensure without a shadow of a doubt everything was good and legal. Only 1 fish was within a half inch over minimum size (to the good not undersized).

Hope you had a lot of people on the boat, that appears to be a boatload of red porgies considering the limit is at 3/person. I could be wrong though, maybe my eyes are deceiving me.

This hasn’t gotten near the attention as the good ol days of CF.com

X2… Better get this down asap.

Maybe he has commercial license and only caught two limits of b-liners.

Good idea cleaning up the post.
