First Trip Offshore!
 

Left out of Cocodrie Thursday afternoon to find what I was told was calm seas. Ran out about 70 miles and found a rip, I was able to land some chicken dolphin and bar jacks on my fly rod! We kept a few nice chicken dolphin and then headed out another 30 miles to our destination. Hooked up with a yellow fin within minutes and I landed my first tuna. Stayed the night at that floater and fished for a while yesterday morning landing bunches of black fin and one more yellowfin. Started heading back in and got on a snapper bite that was phenomenal with five fish going over 20 pounds. All and all a great trip with great people. Pretty intense having never been offshore to go for an overnighter but well worth the temporary nausea and the 10 hours it took me to stop thinking I was rocking back and forth on land.

Hell yeah bro! That offshore stuff is highly addictive

hell yeah Lucas..... never had the chance to fish offshore, its on my bucket list for sure.

That looks like an awesome trip!!!!! Still waiting to go on my first offshore trip.

lets go together...:*****:

It's karma Lucas! I only hope they enjoyed taking you as much as you enjoy taking others to your waters.

Looks like yall had a really good trip. What do you think about them chicken dolphin on a fly rod? I bet that was one of the highlites of your 1st trip out.

Sent from my EVO

Nice catch.

Awsome trip to lose your V card on I commend u first time and u said f it let it be a over nighter...beast.....good job guys

The fly fishing was definitely exciting. It was nice to see that my flies made the transition to blue water! It was nice seeing someone else get as excited as I do when I watch people catch fish for the first time.

When is Austin bringing my boat back? Nice catch bud! Didn't try the tuna in the fly rod?? I've seen it on TV,looks awesome!!

My fly rod is not near big enough for tuna. I would have gotten to see my fly line head into the deep blue yonder.

nice job Lucas!

Man that sounds like alot of fun! Great first trip!

Nice catch ,looks like a good time.

nice catch bro!!!
