got the family back down to the Gulf of Mexico again before the oil gets any worse......hot doesn't even describe the weather we fished in.....beautiful conditions other than the heat......just something about being on the ocean that makes everything else not seem so big.....the kids got to see so many things: sea turtles as wide as my boat; a dolphin came by and played around the boat for a while, jelly fish, starfish, and they also got to catch and touch sharks, trout, ladyfish, redfish, cobia, sea bass, spanish mackerel, flounder, and more that I just can't remember right now.....we have had better trips down there as far as numbers of keepers but this trip was just as good because time with family is what counts and watching these boys take in all the things in nature is just amazing......here's a few pics

A few for the fillet knife


A under-slot red but beautiful color


The view heading back in


A undersized cobia but pulled like a full grown one
