Capt Wes and I met our group of 11 at Gray's B&T at 0600. Captains Dusty Powers and Steve Jones were standing-by at the ramps for us. We had decided to split the group into two, 6 came with me to meet Capt. D.P. at Galvez. The other 5 went with Capt. Wes to meet Capt. Steve at Herron Bayou.
Capt D.P. and I split our 6 and headed for the pass for the Sheepshead bite.
I had Rob, Steve, and "W" (or Dub) on board, these guys were experienced, and , with the exception of Rob (who was having a tough time keeping the fish on the hook), we began catching fish immediately. Actually Dub and Steve started us off with a double hook-up! It was soon apparent that they were hung together, then we realized they had found the greediest Sheepie around...take a look.
Here's Steve and Dub with their shared first fish of the day!
We POUNDED the Sheepies for the next, oh, 5 dozen baits. It took him a little while to get it right, but Rob connected right along with everyone else.
As the livewell got less "live", I began pinching the shrimp into multiple pieces to keep the catching going. When their comming up four at a time, it's hard not to go through bait in a hurry.
I had to take the picture, so you can't see my fish on the deck! It wasn't just Sheepshead, we also caught 2 Scamp, 3 Sand Perch, a Pigfish, and a handful of Catfish.
Our baits stretched until the time finally caught us and we settled in for the quick run back to the ramp. D.P. and I cleaned up the few fish that were kept for dinner, and sent the guys to go trade war stories with the rest of the group.
Thanks again Rob, Steve, and Dub, that was a blast!
