Default Offshore Fourchon, La

It was an interesting last week in fourchon. Had some good days, some bad days, and some days I never should have gotten out of bed. LOL. The best day I probably had was when the yellowfin were busting off the lump. The reason it was the best is I never had to drop the anchor and start cutting the chum to catch fish. WOOHOO. I put out some live mullets and start slow trolling and we caught one at 120 and one at 50 pounds. The bite slowed down then so we picked up and started trolling and added two wahoo to the box. That was a nice day. Then the dirty water moved on the lump and made things hard. I left the lump a couple of days and went wahoo fishing with some success. I also found busting blackfin one day and caught several of them trolling around a rig.

The day I never should have gotten out of bed dealt with a trailer problem. I went to put the contender on teh trailer and one of the forward bunks collapsed and dropped the boat on the trailer bracket and made for a nice scar.

One of the nicer windy days we sat on teh dock with dead boiled shrimp and just caught the heck out of black drum. I guess when live gives you lemons you might as well sit on a bench and catch blackfin drum

I even took Hal Lovati fishing and pulled a complete skunk when I was sitting right next to a charter boat that had them in their slick. All I can say is I tried and the fish just didnt like me that day.


I also finally got some pictures from a trip about three weeks ago that I am going
