Every year I get to take some of my customers fishing off Texas where my corporation is located. Several of my co-workers have a georgous house right on the water in Port Oconnor. We generally rent out 4 homes and take about 40 people out. The last 3 years the fishing gods have blessed us with some great reesults and this year was more of the same. They have 2 choices ...inshore or offshore.
Had our all day business sesssion on Thursday in Houston and by 2:30 we made the 2 hour treck to Port Oconner. Once we got there the chefs had the Texas style food waiting. Poker and drinks all night, fishing by day. Anthony kept me up fishing for these little pinfish all night which came were great bait, i swear we caught 100 of these fish
Game Plan ...day one baitfishing - Day 2 jigging
Friday, Day 1 -Anthony, myself and a customer were scheduled to go out on a brand new 60ft Viking but the weather was suppossed to be 10ft swells so he said he wasnt beating his boat up (dont blame him). But i didnt want to fish for redfish and trout and we had one other offshore boat scheduled for the day...a 38 fountain and he was ready to go so we headed out. Needless to say 56 miles in those seas on a center console made 2 customers sick so Anthony and myself cleaned up LOL
First spot was an amberjack wreck and the captain gaurenteed we would clean up. We always take our own gear and man those accurate 665's are a beast of a reel. First drop with Live pinfish BAM rods bent like pretzels, fish on the deck. Those fish fight like frieght trains. Anthony scored the biggest AJ for the stop. If you had live bait and stopped around 100' you got nailed.
Next stop was shrimp boats but the tuna werent home so we moved to a snapper spot he had and shortly thereafter we had limited out on red snapper which was fun becuase we got catch enough for 4 people becuase the others were sick plus the aded bonus was our first wahoo which picked up a sardine on the retrieve when we went to move. Called it early as 2 people were sick as dogs
Awesome first day, more to come
