Fourchon storms / trout slam
 

Took my girlfriend and her mom fishing today .... Hit the beach 1st thing to catch at least 1 on tw ...stuck a 3lbr n headed offshore, it was pretty calm make it about 15-20 miles sse to 100 ft of water n it starts looking dark like a storm is movin in. Start pitching baits tryin to stick some mangroves..... Nothing but sharks, gf was bottom fishing n couldn't get 8oz down faster that the sharks.. Pissed..... Run a bit farther get bombarded by LOOP security by their 50-70' stealth gunner boat, tell us to follow them out of the secure zone, funny thing is we were no in the LOOP, but I did see a big tanker off in the distance so maybe that's why. So we made a run in trying to escape the storms to the east n west of us . Made it back inside belle pass in one piece n headed out the back way to the islands , found some good water n started catching some really nice trout super shallow ... A little shallower than we could get, so I convinced my girlfriend to hop in and wade with me, we ended up with 25 real nice trout . So after 3 days if fishing last weekend and again today I figured she wouldn't want to go tomorrow.... Wrong she's down to go tomorrow and wants to wade! Hetes a few pics from today http://tapatalk.com/mu/ae4583df-a75d-4ddf.jpghttp://tapatalk.com/mu/ae4583df-a770-1b00.jpghttp://tapatalk.com/mu/ae4583df-a785-a22b.jpg

Question
 

Fishpox. . .Thanks for report. I have a question, what type of boat do you have. The picture looks like a Triton 22 or 24. Just wondering what type of boat you ran offshore with. I am in market to by a bay boat. I fish coastal and would like to got offshore (light offshore). I know mother nature makes the decision, but do you have any problems going for mangroves in your boat?

Why are you in every pic? :confused: Just because you own the boat.....just sayin'. :rolleyes:

No problems at all, bob bought one first we ran offshore in his .... I was sold , bought one a week later mine is a 24 lts pro . I've taken mine 20+ miles offshore and never felt unsafe , yesterday it got nasty I just put them trim tabs down n was able to run 30mph through the slop . Only thing I'd change is a 300 instead of a 250

Cuz I was doin the catchin!

Great catch pox...sure your ladie had funz

nice trip there. thanks for the report

nice catch!

Thank you very much for your response. Your input is 1000X greater than the boat salesman who will tell be I can go the the canyon in his 18 foot boat. Finally and with all due respect (since I do not know you personally), your boat and girlfriend are prettier than you so as others here have said why are you in all the pics? Again thanks very much, you should get a commission, you just sold me on the Triton 24

Lol! Yeah I got pretty lucky with the gf and the boat! ... If u wanna take a spin in it some time let me know . The ride is amazing, dry, tons of storage,

Kind
 

That is extremely kind. I may do that.
