guys, this is an initial email to see if there is enough interest to do this trip again next summer to go for those tasty bottom dwelling species. this year hopefully we can get a weekend that has Red Snapper season open at the same time as AJ. the Scat Cat was a good platform and pricing and that will be the 1st choice this year unless we are not able to get it for the dates we want. looking at doing the 36 hours again. if we get enough responses i will call T.O.O. and start the process to get this trip going... if you are interested please reply with: 1. # of people/spots 2. if we can only go after Red Snapper OR AJ's what is your preference knowing that we will try to get a date when both seasons are open. 3. do you want to do group meals as we did last year (except lesser amounts as we had way to much food last year) P.S. If Jim goes i am going to make sure he is going to give away any Grouper he catches...

BTW, the reason for RS vs AJ is we can still catch AJ and release during snapper season. But not keeping all the snapper we caught last trip during AJ season was a major downer. Actually, the only real downer of the trip IMO.

what was the price of the last trip?
What specific months are you looking at? I might be in depending on the date window (basically when kids are in school so am I).

Well, it's not likely that there will be an overlap of the two seasons. So I think I would prefer to take home four (4) Red Snaps (along with some Mangos  ) mainly since the AJ season is a lot longer the the snapper season. If the Red Snapper season is the same as last year I would like to see a mid-July date since the weather is usually more predictable then. My 2˘

Oldtrackster, the price was $390 I believe, for 36 hour trip. The date will depend on the seasons, and I agree with Bobby not likely to overlap. If they don't, we have to choose what we want to target to pick the season, and then pick the date within the season.
We can still fish for monster AJ during snapper season, we just cant keep them. And I would rather keep four of the nice snapper we were catching last year that had to be thrown back than two big AJs (which I would release anyway).
Also, I personally, and many other folks also, got a bit discouraged and stopped fishing at many spots, since we were killing so many big snapper. If we can keep the snapper, we will all likely fish a lot more, meaning increase in catch of other groupers, etc.

I can probably do a July trip depending on the exact date. I am for red snapper and mangos as well. I have not had red snapper in a long time.
Thanks for the info jig

Welcome etan, good to see you on this board. Must be some kind of record, registered nearly 7 years and 1 post.

That is a little strange! I used to read the board and then for some reason I got away from it. Was a little taken back being called a greenhorn, I'm too old. The Deep Drop Derby sounds like fun.

Put Dave Clark and Marlin Frederick down for a spot each.
We prefer red snapper season but either will do.
Either way for a group meal.
