July 20th......With the seas a 2 foot or less and an intent to go out to blue water, Jason Neitsch, Brian Slingerland and Hunter Landers joined me for a day of Hot action in the Gulf. The light winds had improved the water conditions in an area that I like to hang out, so we elected to check for ling! First drop a ling, and for the next four and a half hours was schools of ling! With the final results being, Hunter catching the largest at 38 lbs, and Brian catching one just shy of that. Being in the close proximity of a consistant snapper hole, we elected to catch their limits of nice snapper, and did so. Snapper averaged 6 to 8 lbs. We did finally make it to blue water, with little results, we returned to the ling area and chased ling until time to come in. At the end of the day we had three limits of snapper and five ling to 38lbs. We had released 5 more ling and lost some in the battle! When we left the last area there were three ling in the thirty to forty lbs. class still swimming free. Brian made the statement he had never sight casted for so long in his life. Isn't it great! Hope to see you real soon! Thanks, Capt. Ron

July 13.....Saturday, July 12, Tom Glaser accompanied by his brother Seth Glaser, fishingbuddies Karl Mueller and Paul Jurecka joined me for some of the hot offshore action that the Gulf has provided this year when the weather has allowed for it! The weather called for 2 to 3 foot seas calming all day! The 2 to 3 foot seas was a confused slop and chop which is hard on fisherman and equiptment alike! We elected to start fishing in close in hopes the seas would lay as we went out! We started in fifty foot of water and worked out to seventy six feet and had a great day! We had our limit of nice snappers to 7 or 8 lbs and a limit of King Mackeral to 25 lbs. Many times having three or four fish on at a time! Which turned into mass confusion on the deck, a lot of excitement and a few broken lines! They got a real appreciation for the speed of the King Mackeral! We did see a few chicken dolphin, but the large schools of ling from the previous outing weren't present this day! We all had a great time! Hope to see you real soon! Capt. Ron P.S. And one dog snapper!
