Bay side, less then 10’ deep all week. got a call from my daughter expecting her frist child and it was comming 4 wks early. loaded the truck and took a cat nap and headed home at 3:30am, left my crew to finish out the night bully netting and they caught a few more limits. drove the 14 hrs straight through after a week of beer, crown and good eats arriving back in chas @6pm, showered and headed to the hosp arriving in time to greet the newest member of Erics and Eds all gril fishing/diving team, Emilee Ryan @ 11:01pm 5.4lbs. great job by the real BUG CATCHER, Leslie who will make the trip south next yr.

I witnessed first hand why he is The BugCatcher. On the first spot he took us to, the bugs were lined up like cars in used car lot. After a few schooling lessons, I was able to improve my technique and get some in the boat. Unfortunately, I didn’t take the camera until the bugs were hard to come by, but you can see a couple and a nice (for Florida) hogfish.
Ed, thanks for an unforgetable trip. I can’t wait until the next adventure. As always, the eating was as good as the catching. Congratulations on the new addition to our all girl fishing team.
Erik let me at that video!!! Nice Gopro, great looking shrimp too ed…
