Offshore Report South of Pensacola
Received these pictures of the weekend take from Judson Day on their trip south of Pensacola that included a swordfish, a bunch of tripletail, wahoo, mahi mahi, and blackfin tuna. Enjoy the pictures:
45 Miles off of Panama City
Here is a photo from Griff in Panama City of their take on the “Best Bet” of red snapper, grouper, a nice wahoo, and it looks like a blackfin, a couple of scamp, and a mangrove snapper as well. Nice job guys and keep sending photos our way (Err… I mean, invite us so we can take the photos and fish).
Wanna go Swordfishing?!
I got a call last summer (2007) from Tim Falzone to go aboard his Cape Hatteras “Dataman” for a two day trip out of Pensacola for some bottom fishing and the eventual goal of fishing for tuna off the Alabama rigs and then some overnight swordfish fishing.
We departed early on a Saturday morning out of his dock at Gulf Breeze and headed toward Pensacola Pass. We then per usually, broke out the cash and poker chips for our run offshore to our first fishing spot about 20-miles from shore. Seas were perfect and the 60+-foot boat (My first time on the new boat) cut through the 2-foot chop like a hot knife through butter.
