Day Two Fourchon LA

Go Fishing!

8 am
Got pounded for an hour and a half as we ran straight into a sloppy 5 foot chop,
In the gulf, it gets like a washing machine! But we got there, about 60 miles out
And west, I think I could see texas! Rough seas, 1st bait hits the water and
SMACK
Huge fish grabbed the bait,
Then spit it out in the air!
We could not believe it!
But it meant we were in a good spot, we’d get another chance.

9 am
Caught a mid 30’s fish,
Caught a cobia,
Caught some fresh bait,
Only boat on the rig,

10 am
SMACKAnother huge fish grabs the long bait on the surface,
As the fish flew through the air,
He cut the line mid air in front of us

11 am
Another big fish skies on our bait, and missed the hooks,
Crushed the bait, missed every single hook!

11:30 am
Caught another small fish,

High Noon
We are trying to stay positive but how could our luck be so bad,
To see and miss three fish that could lock up winning the whole year!

1 pm
Day is almost over, we have to be at the scales by 4 and its and hour and a half in,
We start hopping rigs tring to find a fish, a stupid fish that is fat and lazy,
We had enough smart acrobatic fish!

Would have lost a million dollar bet that we would go to Fourchon and not catch at least one fish over 40 lbs, it was too easy-right!

Some might say we 'stubbed our toes', others that we fell flat on our faces,
and some, 'well you used up all your luck', but no matter how you slice it,
we need a miracle now to win the season,
but we certainly did not expect this poor weeekend,
we did have other friends that are definately out for good due to boat mechanical problems and missed weigh in completely, or just got skunked and caught '0's.

But hey,
TV show aired today,
and pick up a copy of Saltwater Sportsman or Sport Fishing for our team on the inside cover, I have not scene it yet, but heard about it.

Thanks for all the support,
we'll keep trying as hard as always!

Next Pro stop Savannah GA late august,
last tournament mid october in n myrtle beach SC,

lots of little local stuff twix here and there!
