Well, I hate to admit it but this is my first fishing report on the new board. How long has it been? Also hate to admit that we didn't take a single picture. Had a so-so day of fishing. Ride out was nice. Hit four spots on the edge. Water is SUPER dirty. Not a single king which was very strange but nice. They are usually so thick out there it becomes annoying. Mingo's everywhere. The only two red snapper we caught would have been keepers. Kept two gags and two amberjacks. Caught another 8 or so AJ's that were within an inch of being keepers. Caught a scamp and gag that were too small. Ride back in wasn't as nice. Nothing big, just chopped up. Thank you to the AL Grady White with two guys on it that gave us a good heading back in to Pensacola  . Our GPS went out about an hour before we stopped fishing. Visibility was bad coming in. We finally saw the lighthouse and were very happy we weren't going in to Orange Beach, weather looked horrible to the west. Hope the AL guys got in safe and sound. Not a real bad day but not that good either. Better than staying home for sure! I'll take pictures next time.
WDE!

| Hey a bad day on the water where everyone is safe is surely better than a good day at work. Glad y'all had fun.

| Is one of those times that a cheap non-color, handheld gps with a minimum of numbers in it (sea buoy, center pass, sherman cove, etc): is worth it's weight in gold. We always try to "back-up" our "can't do without" electronics. Such as handheld vhf, handheld gps, etc.. Jayer good to hear you made it safe and sound with a few fish as well...

Yeah, we weren't much worried about getting home. Just head North but at close to $4/galloon, a good heading into the pass was greatly appreciated.
