2009 Destin pictures - Thursday -__Noriega point

[RudeAttitude]

Just a lazy day today. Caught some bait earlier, but raw oysters, cold barley pops, and frozen margarittas were the order of the day.

She's still got a little pizazz....



My girls enjoying the sun.



Little Bit wondering why we aren't FISHING !! She'd been in the drink twice already chasing fish.



Back at the condo with Mom and Dad.

Ok - just went through all my rigs and made a couple more for the ballyhoo. I got the low down from Hilton report tonight and we have our sites set on fishing the wings - due south of Destin. Weather should be great tomorrow and hopefully some good pictures will get posted.

I'll get to find out just how cold the beer is on Artie's boat. Later this week, I hope to test the beer from Chuck's boat as well. []

Got some #'s of a couple of reefs deployed last fall to hit on the way back in. On Sat. my reef partner had to run 60 miles out just to find blue water [:0] He hit a couple of coops on the way back in....total haul for the day: 2 snappers.

What do you expect when you call your Regulator "Guns 'n Rods"

We're gonna smoke him. See ya 5:30 @ Harbourwalk.

Had a great day of fishing with Steve Arrowsmith and Adam Sutherland. Ran out due South about 45 miles and pulled lines hoping for a Marlin strike. Pulled baits til 11:00 or so, then decided to head in for some bottom action. No snapper action today strangly enough, but we did pick up a 30-35 lb cobia.













Had some fuel problems on the way in, but the beer was colder than Chuck's and dinner was in the fish box. Thanks to Steve and Adam for being troopers. []

Thanks for the trip Artie. I had a blast. Still can't believe nothing was around that shrimp boat 40 miles offshore! I bet we could have caught some snapper if you would have turned around and let me drop on that structure we ran over....... [][][8D] Looking forward to getting together again later.

Chuck - Artie keeps his beer in a nice ice slushish mix....I'll have to try several of your beers to see who has the coldest. [8D]

Made a new friend today. Steve introduced me to Artie this morning at 5:30 am; we jumped on his bad-ass ride and it was game on. We spent the day drinking cold beverages and telling tall tales about fishing, diving, and travelling the world. We are kindred spirits.(we managed to fish a little too) Thank you Artie for a GREAT day. []

Late afternoon, as we were idling up current of a bottom spot , we spotted two Cobia dogging the boat about 10' astern. Like a seasoned deckhand, Artie threw a jig right into the big one's mouth

Hopefully I'll get back in town by Sunday, so I can meet the rest of you Mako maniacs. Keep yer lines tight and yer beer cold.

Great pics. Sorry to hear no bills on the adventure, but sounds like a good time. Going again tomorrow, Thursday?

I suspect we'll be spending lots of time on Crab Island Thursday []. AND MY BEER WILL BE COLD[}].

Of all the pics that you've posted, the face that this dog is making is great........

"Yeah, you're on the most badass Mako 25 in the gulf." Leave us alone and let us just dominate the fishing here, ohhh kaaa? "

Did a little trolling with the girls in the late morning. Another beautiful day on the water. Ended up at Noriega point making sure all the preperations were in order for the upcoming weekend. [8D]

The gang has arrived:







Debby was the only real fisherman today:

I wasn't going to post this, but after a night to sleep on it, a cup of coffee, and some deep thought I decided this is exactly what classicmako is all about. []

Chuck needed some help launching and getting his boat to the slip. Chuck launched and my brother idled his boat toward the condo. Now, when it comes to boats, my take on it is my brother can break it. Well, idling over the throttle was sticking. He shut the engine off, I jumped on board and figured out the cable was stickin. Ended up just being the clamp holding the cable in position at the shifter. Screw driver and 5 minutes fixed. No mechanic needed, no day wasted, no $$$ spent. [][][] But, now Chuck has to live through ANOTHER year of me giving him a hard time. Not about the cable..... and the radio was working..... but there was a grand total of zero, goose egg, zilch, zippo, call it what you will.... barley pops on board. He obviously hadn't come preopared..... []

PS. Just pullin your chain Chucky..... Steaks tonight !!!!
