Here's a few from the southwest Gulf Coast of FL. My dad is a charter captain down on Marco Island, I spent most of of time offshore working (if you could call it that) the boat with him and my twin brother. We do mostly drift and anchored bottom fishing over various hard bottom andcstructure ranging from 1 to 35 miles out. image.jpg Keeper Gag grouper caught on a live pin fish in about 120ft of water 30 miles or so out.

36" cobia caught on a free lined grunt.

My twin brother Scott with a nice gag grouper caught on a live sand perch in about 80 ft 5 mile reef Marco island.

Nice array of fish there. Used to do a LOT of halibut fishing when I was in Alaska. Still got a buddy with a boat in Anchorage... need to pair up with him again... now that digital cameras exist.

Halibut fishing looks like an awesome time. I've always wanted to go to Alaska. I spent a summer in Oregon/ Washington about 6 years ago and I was planning on getting up there it just didn't work out. A good friend of mine is in Skagway right now working.

Do a little bit of fishing myself. Usually spend a few nights a year on the Padre National Seashore. Drive and camp on the beach, its like having your own personal beach far enough down! I built a little trailer with a rooftop tent, shower and generator with a/c lol!

Yes!! Nice pics, That second red is a monster. I like your mobile operational support center too haha. I used to drive to the national sea shore a few miles down almost every day when I lived in corpus when I first joined the navy. Such a great spot. There wasnt much going on in the barracks so I fished the sea shore and Oso bay every day I could. Mostly got into big black drum on the bay though. Not nearly as much fun as a nice bull red, they just sit there being heavy and useless and wait to get dragged in. Maybe they'd put up more of a fight if the water wasn't 2 feet deep all the way across!

Pru,
I haven't fished port of the islands much. I have some friends that do well down there on some big triple tail and cobia. We used to go southwest out to the different towers that are down that way off shore for grouper and amberjack. A couple of my wifes friends have been working at the snook for years. never had the seafood chowder though. I used to go there all the time from the marco pass and dock up when i was growing up. Ever eat at the little bar in goodland? Right there on the backside of Marco. They do some fine seafood, they've got a really good conch chowder.

Goodland ???????? Damn...haven't thought about that little community in years. And yep...had the conch chowder. I have a friend that has a little "shack" in Goodland. One way in ..... one way out. Had some warm beer at that lille bar also...didn't complain though,it was colder than the ambiant air in late August. Not as salty either.

Yep,we've fished some of the same waters. --- pruhdlr

In Alaska... we call that "Combat Fishing". Except it's generally on a river bank... and both sides of the bank are full of fishermen. You DEFINITELY need to learn how to choreograph your hook slings with (not only) your folks near you... but the opposing side as well. Kinda fun once you get into the rhythm of it.
