| Got an invite from Ed Hale (I guarantee...) to join the crew on End of the Line (Capt. Jim, Jay, Wayne, Ed) Wednesday morn - hell ya! Met at Sherman Cove at 0500 and after a bit of a monkey drill, left the marina about 0600:     
Hit the bait boat for $20 worth, then off to Ed's Honey-Hole! 
Boat had limit of Red Snapper by 0830 and caught a wide variety of others: 4 Kings, AJ, Mingo, Blue Nose, Trigger, Grouper, Bonita - probably missed a species, but you get the idea, a great morning to fish!     
Had to leave the initial hole because every time you dropped down, bam, another snapper. Kind of funny, having to run from catching snapper! Hit a few other holes, looking for anything but snapper, and waiting for the storm in the pass to move on. Wayne with a "bitch" on:  Ed gaffing one of Jay's Kings: 
After a beautiful morning. fish for everyone, and enough sun for the day, headed back.  
Went through schools of fish tearing up the water. 
Pulled into Sherman about 1300-1400 (to many Miller Lites to be exact). 
Jay with his Black Snapper (tutor Ed hanging close): 
After boat cleaning, fish cleaning, arrival of the First Aid Kit for toasts to a great day on the water, was home by 1600. Had "operator malfunction" on the camera and I didn't get pictures of the "big ones" that were hauled aboard (never checked the setting each time I pulled it out). Sorry crew. Cheers!

| Good report John..............it's a shame you didn't get pics of the monsters we pulled up. I finally found the report. I had been looking in "offshore reports". I'll send the page to the other guys. We'll try to do it again this week. Just read the report about getting caught in a storm. As summer goes on they will bet worse and bigger..........something we should be concerned about................Ed
