Scott(504) sent this report from his offshore trip on last Sunday.

A friend of mine and I took advantage of the light winds this past weekend and went in the gulf on Sunday in pursuit of the bigger fish it offers.  We found our limit of state water Red Snapper (4 per person).  My first keeper Ling still evades me.  We stopped at a half dozen rigs or more and did not see a single Ling all day.  The winds were calm and the temperature was perfect.

I forgot to mention the fish Randy is holding up is another type of snapper.  I am fairly certain it is a Gray or Mangrove Snapper.  They fight as hard if not harder than a Red Snapper.  This one was 25" and was our biggest fish of the day.  It put up a hard fight.
