Looks like a lot of fun, fish and great eats and drinks! Looks like it will be too windy for offshore, but some awesome inshore action to be had! MUCH better open water fishing where you guys are than here in CT now. Have fun and good luck.
Tough fishing here today boyz. Only 6 inches of tide today, and that was over a 12 hour period! The wind didn't help either, as it blew in a direction that pulled water out of the area! You could see the water line on the weeds along the shore, and it showed we were at least 12/18 inches below the normal level. We gave it our best all day long, but catching bull reds wasn't in the cards for us! Can't thank Capt Hoop enough! He worked his balls off trying to find fish for us! I can't count how many times we moved. We even put the boat back on the trailer and tried a totally different area, but the wind still followed us! Still a great day with good friends!
We may have struck out on the catching side of things today, but we hit it out of the park with dinner! Jeremia was spot on! We went to Venice Marina and had the seafood stuffed potato, with two kinds of gumbo, fried gulf shrimp, more fried oysters, and plenty of cold beer! Hands down, one of my top 5 meals of all times!
We're as far South as one can go in Louisiana!
A few pics for today! Shrimp boats everywhere!
Bunker, aka pogy boats! Each one takes on average, about a million pounds per day!
We stopped to get fuel on the way back in. How convenient, it's a fuel stop and a bar too. Could have knocked me over with a feather when 3 shots to help us warm up, came to $6! Capt Hoop doesn't drink, so he just had sweet tea, but you can tell how windy it was by the redness in our faces. Later in the day, we stopped to get fuel in Capt Hoop's truck on our way to dinner, and 3 more shots came up to $4.50 because it was Happy Hour! Hahahahaha!!!!
We were cruisin around through the many channels through the bayou, and came across several herds of cattle free ranging on islands out in the middle of nowhere!
The last few are just some random shots of Med and Booty.
Sitting out on the deck before bed, talking about our offshore trip on Sunday. Hope the weather Gods cooperate!

That is why I moved here. Tough life but somebody's got to do it!
$2.00 per shot unless it is happy hour then 3 shots cost $4.50 total. That is $1.50 per shot. You can't get a shot glass of air for that price in Connecticut. Will not even attempt to discuss Sewer, water, waste removal or taxes.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
