Crazy thing is they only gave us 5 days this year

Finished red snapper season up Friday and Saturday. It was a good 4 days.

Been awhile. Finally got the kid dance, football season done and hunting season

Boy and I hit the bay for a few hours got some keeper grunt, snapper and a mackerel

My plan was to fish all week but PBC shut down the water.

I’m pretty sure any day now we’ll lose TB waters too

I heard a local fish house is sitting on 10k# of grouper it can’t move cause of the Chinese virus.
God forbid I have to go buy some. But If its a deal.....

Be sure to hit me up with where that is! I’m making space in my freezer awful fast this year.

The crabs are thick right now. Just thick

Boy and I got into a mess last night

In a landlocked state, one normally wouldn’t be proud of getting crabs.

But in your case... those look awesome!

What do you do with all of them? I imagine eat some as is, but do you can/freeze any? Never prepared them before.

We’ll just boil them w salt and ol bay
Share with the neighbor
Crack and eat.
Whatevers left probably will make some crab cakes for the next day

Got offshore with the boy to 34 miles yesterday.
Furthest he’s been
A bit sloppy and a slow bite but we managed a few.
The boy caught a 15# Bonita that almost spooled his snapper rod
He caught some almaco jack and Lesser Amberjack
A yellowtail snapper
Had a couple jewfish steal a few of his jacks
We caught a lot of short fish.
I caught a decent mango snapper 19.5”
Buddy caught a decent amber jack (green shoes pic)
We worked our tails of though

And he didn’t get seasick

Also is attached is a pic of the crab cakes from the other week

Awesome pictures everyone!

Got out for some good ones.
Boy caught his first keeper grouper a 26”er with a 2500 series spinner. That was a good catch. He even pulled it out of the rocks.

Spanish mackerel
And some nice mango snappers.

Lots of good hauls sailfish. I havent been able to get out at all this year but here are a few from years past.

Wow! That’s some nice fish!!
