I would like to give a special thanks to all that contributed, especially Sailor and Ringleader and Rude for assisting with the boat and giving a place to dock.
It was hard balancing fishing, boating, & family time, but a challenge I will again be up for next year. On Friday I had buddy from Mobile fish with me and we had a great trip. He also taught me a few things, I would say I am a pretty good fisherman, but still learning tricks for holding boat on fish and he is best captain I've ever fished with. We fished hard Friday in a strange place and were rewarded, we caught a lot of nice Red Snapper (only keeping limit of 2 each [
]), a few beeliners, and a snowy grouper. We chummed all day and even trolled some hoping to draw a wahoo or dolphin but had no luck and lost 2 nice barracuda's at last spot on way in. Saturday I took Beth out to try the king bite and she boated a schoolie king, 1st time fishing in a couple years so she was happy[8D].
I have gotten bad about leaving dock w/o camera (still short memory b/c gitty about new motor[
]), but I did get a few fish pics back at the dock and took a few pics of Connor's 1st Crab Island trip...
Friday's bring home

We had an absolute blast and will have to make next years trip longer. It was great meeting everyone and Destin was AWESOME!
