Venice day 3
 

Decided to say screw trout all together and run offshore instead. Made the 24 mile run down river with bob (meauxfishin ) and my girlfriend kori hit open water and found flat seas . Bob and kori Started puttin small red snapper in the boat left and right while I started slangin mangroves ( my new nickname is mangrove daddy, I even made a "mangrove daddy" dance lol) . Made a run n found some bigger 10 lb snapper but the current was rippin to fast to catch mangroves . Put 3 nice red snapper in the boat here but it shut off so we keep hoppin around . I stayed on the mangroves n kori / bob stayed on the reds. Bob caught 4 lol and kori caught 15 lol!!! Sorry bob I had to :P I'm obsessed with mangrove now that first run is killer on light tackle . Here's some pics of today's trip n one of me playing with the wash down hose lol! The mangrove I'm holding was just shy of #3 on the STAR leader board! Weighed it in at cypress cove but it didn't make the cut http://tapatalk.com/mu/ae458385-1ffc-b731.jpghttp://tapatalk.com/mu/ae458385-200d-a511.jpghttp://tapatalk.com/mu/ae458385-202b-b1a3.jpg

Sent from my EVO

Nice fish guys!!! Looks like fun.

nice going pox and crew !

sounds like yall having a good time.. nice catch

nice catch! sounds like fun!

Fishing for mangroves is addictive, huh? :D

Is that a tramp stamp?

lol hell no!! its a fat arse hangin out my shorts!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hell yeah pox! Nice catch

What Pox left out from the reports was on Friday he couldn't handle the snappers in 180' but I got a small one up from thereAttachment 21697
I also caught a couple of groupers ( gag & scamp) that were undersized, and a personal best for me on croaker :lmao: right under 3 lbs Attachment 21698
And while Kori might have caught more snapper than me on Sunday. I'm pretty sure he didn't get a legal red snapper in the boat the whole weekend...

So the truth comes out....pox likes the mangroves cause he can't catch the reds ones. That is a big ole croaker

Red snapper = bank fishing at seabrook! Mangroves = skill

Nice snaps guys (and girls)...

Thats a big ole croaker! Nice haul yall miss those days when i worked on the shelf we would mop em up all the time. Catch and Release of course . . . . .

mangroves just straight pissed me off this past weekend. i no longer will fish for reds bc they dont require skill only strength. i want to catch 10 mangroves by myself every time i go out. nice catchin tho!
