Got back home yesterday after spending 5 days at Cape San Blas. We arrived Sunday evening, spent the day Monday prepping for opening of ARS season on Tuesday. We were on the water by 6:30, caught some pinfish and six of us headed SE to our numbers. Short version....had our limit of nice big snapper, a good keeper gag and healthy lane snapper by 10:30.
Wednesday had us grounded due to winds and rough seas.
Thursday it was a go. We packed up and headed to the ramp. As we were a out to push off the dock, one of our alert crew asked where the cooler was. At the house right where we left it
. So the ladies went back to retrieved while the two guys stayed with the boat and put our time to use catching pinfish. We caught some nice big baits while we waited and by the time they got back, we had enough in the live well. Off we go. The seas weren't real rough. But had high rollers which ended up giving three of our anglers sea sickness. Because of the rollers we had some trouble sticking our number but finally stuck them. Ended up being the best trip we've had on the Robalo to date. 12 snapper limit with three good gags to boot. And most of the snapper were real sows. Full fish box by 11am and with sickly crew we headed for the hill. I must say that the ill one's never quit, didn't complain and were real troopers. My hat is off to them cause I've been there a d k ow how miserable a feeling that is. The seas smoothed out for the ride home and nothing but smiles by the time we hit the dock
Friday was pleasure boat day spotting dolphin, turtles, shelling and such. Was a great week at the Cape! I've got to organize my pics and will attach later today.
Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there! My Son is treating me to a round of golf today
