Met up with 007 and took the Shoalwater out for it's maiden voyage in the open gulf. The plan was to hit a rig ~6 miles out, but the chop never laid down, and got a bit worse as the day went on. We ended up staying nearshore and trolling around a gas platform with a jack-up rig on it ~3 miles out. Didn't get any hits, and the only fish we saw pulled up were trash fish by some guys fishing croakers. Those fellows did say they lost a ling earlier. We came back to near the breakers on the Galv side of SLP and cut a few drifts on some slicks. There we got into the gafftops hard Even got a double hook-up on slimers They like those devil eyes! 007 even caught the biggest bluefish I've seen around here. Anyways, I had a good time and got some pulls.

Cool MJ-trying at least in tough conditions."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

I was wanting to go about 9 miles but we wound up being about 6 miles. She did pretty good considering the conditions. I think that we burned 7-8 gallons of fuel total which ain't bad at all. We'll do it again under better conditions.
P.S. Slimers love Brown devil eyes.I work just enough to pay for my fishing habit.
