It was a great trip with a great crew. The red snapper season was opened for 2 weeks but limited to 1 a day. Yuri now has 4 captains chairs to sit on as he limits the amount of coolers you can bring. The chairs are great.

Awesome catches!

Nice catches,

too bad I wasn't able to go. How was the heat out there? I am getting ready gor my 6 days of fishing there next week. I hope I can do as good as you guys did.

How many coolers Yuri let you take? And is he really busting chops on the 5 rods max?

Rare · Post by **Rare** » Tue Jul 15, 2014 10:26 am

Did Yuri let Joe bring his 15 rods?

Chris overall what new things have they done to the boat? Im glad I can still put my bait cooler where you guys have yours at. My 50qt fits perfect there. Is that Rick in the pic??

Suck it up...You could also do a dolphin trip on that weekend before the trip. Kil would have.......

LOL, I am getting too fat and out of shape for that. I am thinking of bringing an oxigen tank so I can fish more.

He really limits the coolers and was pretty strict on rod limit. He has a food/drink cooler on deck now and a fish box by the door as well.No more kill box and he has to shift the weight a lot to get the exhaust out of the water. Travel light or you will have to leaave things at the dock.

was a super trip for sure...don't know what I was doing in the group photo... but I was a whipped puppy so the photo fits.. LOL...

the coolers you see at the back of the boat are all empty bait coolers moved there after use..5 rods... 6 if you have a way to rack the xtra... tackle box with a rod holder as a example... fishing with you guys was a hoot and a real pleasure ... thanks

Joe's a fishing machine. Rick held his own, donkeys and all. Joe was neck and neck for most fish from the second day on. And Rick stood the rail as long as guys half his age. Pretty impressive showing for first times out.

I guess Chris, Yuris nephew got the big AJ pics. 2 of em back to back, thought I was gonna die! Was praying for a BIG Black both times. Then of course there was this,

Sharks are such jerks sometimes!

Hey Pat

You fishing acid wrapped rods?

I like the one behind you in the pic.

PS: It is called being taxed by the gray suits lol

gruntking · Post by **gruntking** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:26 pm

cudaman · Post by **cudaman** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 8:50 am

Paying taxes suck! That is a nice rod back there.

The heat was brutal but it was one of the most fun trips I have done to the tugas, had a blast fishing with Joe and Rick. Joe is a Monster powered fishing machine, I got tired just watching him fish! He loved it every time my braid got wrapped around his line.

cudaman · Post by **cudaman** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 11:09 am

Sure are some nice groupers!

STRIZ · Post by **STRIZ** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 11:17 am
