Russ, Chad, and I made a quick run to Surfside yesterday after read all the reports of flat seas. Left ICM at 6:30 and were greeted by small but choppy seas. Headed SSW about 35 miles toward a couple of Rik's spots. Pulled some dolphin candy once we were within a couple miles of our spot and caught several bonito that we saved for bait. Made drops with slappers and drop rigs with lots of snapper but very few were above the legal size. Moved a little deeper to a wreck with same results but did pick up a little rock hind. Decided to head to the Brazos reef and stopped to drag lures around some rigs. Chad hooked up with a King that gave him a good pull. Made it to the reef and things got a little better. First drift I got a nice snapper on the stinger hook of a slapper. Next few drifts produced a couple small AJ's, a small but keeper ling(my first knife jig fish), and more undersized snapper.
Time was running late so we made for home in nice seas. It was great to be on the gulf again with good company and nice weather. bighead
