Made a run back out to some nice seas with an excited crew. No blue water, but good enough. Pulled up to the first rig and bumped around it with nothing coming up. moved to the next one and started hammering the rockhinds on snapper slappers. We all hooked up with some big AJ's (we think) and kept getting broke off. We then moved out to the rocks and started catching some B-liners, Lane snapper,king fish and a few nice red snapper too. We had a group of dolphin come up under the boat and boated a few of them. After the dolphin were gone, Keif 's rod goes off with the free lined sardine and his reel freezes up, so he hand lined the fish with the billy club, talk about comical. Not to mention j jordan managed to foul hook 2 triggers on the same drop, talk about the luck.Must of been from getting that guys rig hook out and back to the owner. Here are a few pics of the trip.

I have never seen someone catch so many rock hinds in one trip. How far did you go out?

[Hotrod]

Very nice.

 

[Stay Bent]

Way to go Seasick and crew. (I see you all have kept the catching up - That total catch picture speaks volumes - All those Rockhinds) Looks like I missed a good one.

Next time we are gonna do that back-down, drop, jet-up a Diamond, hook-up and motor them out of the rig technique on them AJs. I bet we boat a few that way. I can't wait.

Where was Jason and Woody?

 

[snapper slapper lures]

Way to go guys. Nice fish. I am sorry I missed it but with the numerous bathroom calls that day I made the right decision, Woody

We had a blast, thanks again Hector! You wrong for posting the hand line picture. Them Rock Hinds sure tasted good last night! It was a beautiful day on the water on a Bad Arse boat, look forward to doing it again.

[ReelEasy]

Good catch. Wish I could have been there.

 

[sea sick]

Stay bent- Woody was on the toilet all day and jason is doing some upgrades on the new house he just bought. and as many times that i called keif by your name, you were on our boat half the day with us.

mredman- we ran out about 65 miles

 

[Stay Bent]

Okay, now I get it Keif. Thanks for letting me inside of that one Hector. (I'm glad you missed me - So when are we going?)

looks like yall had a nice trip hector

For the AJs I recommend an extension cord spool, wound with paracord attached to 300lb. mono and a large circle with a live blue runner. Feel the hook up, wind cord around cleat, and move away from structure in a hurry. Then get it on. With a pair of gloves. You may have to have someone hold your ankles, but it works!

 

[CaptDoug]

Sweet! Looks like a great trip. I bet those Rock Hinds were good. Hey Keif, whats up with the frozen reel? LoL!! Hope it wasn't your Avet. Bernard, i'll be fishing Matagorda most of August, i'll give you a call when i'm gonna just do a fun trip. Right now bookings are filling up quick!
