Well since I sold my pontoon, I have to fish off my other boat for now. (Looking for a new pontoon.) Went to Fourchon. Spent 2 days, they were having jellyfish problems. So fishing did not go well. Even the shrimp boats was having problems.  Caught one bull red, 5 spec and this. We did let him go. He was a little mad

David,

I would have made sure those needle nose pilers were at least 2 foot long!

I just returned from a week at the beach...this is one of many reasons I will NOT be returning to the beach!!!!  As my husband says, I don't like swiming where I am not the top of the food chain.!

Weather was great, fishing was ok, no spec, 10 keeper reads. 1 extra large black drum. Took 1/2 hour to get him in the boat.  The red in the pic was 16in long,caught by my wife. The ice chest is a 90 quart.

Was caught at a place called burns point, in Louisiana. What great fun t was.

Not near as big as your catches David but we took our 'new' Sea Ox out on the rigs from Grand Isle this weekend and caught these. Unfortunately due to tightened regs we had to throw all of them back. We did catch a few mangroves, sheepshead, trout and mackeral that we kept.

Went to Grand Isle this past Saturday. Did alright. Had my little nephew with my son and I. So could not stay long. Fished with shrimp and caught a  lot of crokers. Cut the crokers up and caught these. Of the 3 bull reds, feed 6 and put some up in the freezer.

And this, it was not happy at all.  I was trying to find someone else to throw it  back it, But  the boys would not step up.

Stopped on side of the  road and fished, just after passing fourchon and caught these.

So I guess a great day fishing. Going back this weekend depending on the weather.

Nice catch David. We were down in Fourchon this weekend too spearfishing. Nothing big around the rigs but shot these. The guys I went with caught speckled trout and reds until they were blue in the face earlier in the week. We should have stayed in the bay and did that. Biggest fish we shot was about a 10# mangrove. Had alot of fun though and couple of the guys this was there first real rig spearfishing trip.
