Uli and Uta Scheider fished with me Monday, in 40 feet out of New Pass, with live shrimp. We caught keeper Spanish mackerel to 25 inches, and keeper yellowtail snapper. We released some yellowtail and mangrove shorts, along with porkfish and lots of blue runners.
Dave Schultz and friend, Jack, fished a catch and release trip with me on Wednesday, which was good for Spanish mackerel to 28 inches, lane snapper, triggerfish, grunts, and mangrove snapper. We also released a 4' bull shark--I tried to get a photo of that one, but I got too close to being bitten to pull it off!
Bill Digmon and daughter, Jessica, fished in 35 feet off New Pass with me on Thursday, and we caught keeper Spanish mackerel to 26 inches, lane snapper to 12 inches, and triggerfish. We released some big ladyfish.
The photo shown is of angler Gregg Bedell, with a 49 inch, 28 pound cobia, caught on a recent Fishbuster Charter offshore about 40 miles from New Pass.
