I never was much interested in fishing, but I bought the boat to take my grand kids out fishing and maybe water skiing (which I grew doing).

Wanted to post the results of our first dedicated fishing trip:



This was the biggest of the four that we snagged.

Now I thinked I'm hooked.


Lots of fun, Slow
 
Excellent! :clap:

Now you need $5000 in rods & reels, outriggers, fillet knives, gaff, net, 2 anchors and a wreck anchor, lures, flourocarbon leader, MORE lures!

Correct on all Counts

1. With respect to the allowable fishing season for Red Snapper, the Feds only allowed a one week period around Memorial Day on the Gulf of Mexico. But Florida is having a 52 day season in state waters (<9 miles off shore).

2. The $30 Walmart special rods I was equipped with (spinning rods with 12# monofilament) were barely up to the task as we lost more than we caught. so I immediately went to Academy for a $130 PENN Defiance combo with 65# braid (the first of many I will soon buy I'm sure).

Lots of fun had by all as we fished until we ran out of hooks.

Hope to post more pix soon, Slow
 
slow, if you get a chance, drop in gulf breeze tackle, east side of the bay bridge on the south side. it's been a while since i was in p'cola, but they always had great advice and a great selection. i buy my fair share from Wally World, but i like to throw as much business to the local tackle shops as i can.
 
Not only did you have fun and learn but the kids and grandkids think their grandpaw made a great day for them fishing. Good and family memories.:sun::clap::beer:
