Love that kind of fishing. I used to take my 22 foot Triton to run to the rigs off Port A about a 10 mile run from the end of the jetties. Usually could get some nice snapper and all the kings you want in the summer. I went out one day by myself snapper fishing and hung a huge fish...just had to drift and do a fire drill around the boat pulling the TM out of the water and then raising the outboard, After 20 minutes, I was 200 yards from the rig and saw it was a big king. I started to get ready to reach down to get it and a 4 foot shark came out from under the boat. It left and I finally got the king on board that a good estimate put it over 35 pounds, which is great for an inshore king. Tons of fun solo. Another day I pulled up to one of the rigs and had a school of 20 ling come off. 5 followed me for a long while and I hung 3 an landed two but the biggest was an inch short....mean fish.

Haha ...I wish! I was along for the ride. My bud did all the work to put us on fish. Wonderful pictures and story! Thanks. True dat! Thanks for sharing the story and pics, Anh. Not a problem ...I had such a great time, I had to share my experiences. I will say this though ...if conditions are right and if you "died hard" crappie fishermen ever have a chance to go, definitely don't miss it ...Go!!! A funny story my friend was telling me ...he said that on one trip, the sea was rough and they threw up on the way out ...fish... and threw up on the way in but it was all worth it

Ahn, I hear you. This morning kayaking trip was almost deadly for me, near miss, mullet to the forehead every couple mins.
Invasion of the mullets by the millions, they seem to have run off game fish. Good news water is still clear and the seas are calm, this evening it may change for the better.
Sure wish I knew you were down there ...would have ask to see if you wanted to join us. Love that kind of fishing. I used to take my 22 foot Triton to run to the rigs off Port A about a 10 mile run from the end of the jetties. Usually could get some nice snapper and all the kings you want in the summer. I went out one day by myself snapper fishing and hung a huge fish...just had to drift and do a fire drill around the boat pulling the TM out of the water and then raising the outboard, After 20 minutes, I was 200 yards from the rig and saw it was a big king.

Yep, I'm hooked ...was asking when we can go again on the way home Talked to one boater & they said that they caught easy limits of Snapper & 3 Lings ...60 miles out. I asked can we go 60 miles out
