I hope you had fair weather and a successful trip. Give us a report when you get everything squared away. We have to run about 35 miles out down here to get in enough depth to catch 'em.

It blew pretty good until Wednesday so we mostly lost the first 4 days of our 9 day season bestowed upon us this year by the Gulf Council and National Marine Fisheries (NOAA). Now lets see, the Commercial guys have 365 days to catch their 1/2 of the allowable catch and the Recreational guys are given 9 days to catch our 1/2 of the allowable catch for the year. But wait, we get to bring them in at the rate of 2 per fisherman per day (from 35 miles for us) and they can fill the fish hold up if they want until they meet their quota.

Martin, I hope you saw a lot of boats around you when you were out there. Because if you figure the average boat would have 4 successful fishers on board that caught an average of two 12.5# Red Snappers that would total 100# Red Snapper per Recreational boat per day. If you divide the 215,000#s Recreational allotment for this year by 100# that's 21,500 successful Recreational trips for this year squeezed into 9 days or an average of 2300 trips or so per day. Wait a minute, you don't have time to read this - get out there and get fishing or they'll cut our allotment to 175,000#'s and a 6 day season!
