Well..we live and die by the forecast lately.I had a group drive all night from Georgia on a hunch that all the high pressure would hold off any severe winds for last Friday..thought wrong..it probably blew close to 20 knots most of the day...spent the day releasing bull reds at the rocks..the secret bait? whole slabbed hardheads..yes folks we finally found a use for them..the pogies we had were just too mushy and after 3 reds and 50 hardheads we switched over..caught 4 hardheads after that leaving none for seed and 20 bulls for fun..all released..Saturday I had another group drive all night from Houston to hop on the boat and head south regardless..the ride out wasn't too bad with a 4 ft following sea we were able to hold 24 knots most of the way.. winds actualy laid down for about 2 hours just before noon, but there was plenty of slop making for a long ride home into a pitching headsea..fishing was tough compared to our last out but under the circumstances I am calling 3 yellowfins and 3 blackfins a huge suuccess..went 3-5 on yellowfins and 3-3 on blackfins..still trying to figure out how a 15 pound blackfin can swallow a 15 inch mullet..anyway..we had a few bites on hardtails with the fish of the day, a 110 pounder that made one hell of a surface strike on a jumbo mullet early in the day..capped off the day just before quitting time by going 2 for 2 on 90-100 pound fish on hardtails..stayed pretty calm all evening at least until 10:30pm but it was blowing when I left to drive home this morning..still baffled at how it could possibly be fishable tomorrow..just looked at the 9:30 update..the good news is that all the north wind has not pushed the dirty water out and away from us..it was 76 and a very nice bluegreen 6 miles inside of Lena..stayed about the same just about everywhere else we went..pulled a few diving baits but nothing with any success..I suspect the first real serious arctic blast will bring the mother wahoo's into the areas in 300-500 ft of water, although the famous annual wide open bite could happen anytime between now and April...saw lots of duck feathers in the water at the marina and in the passes so I suspect the duck hunters are satisfied again..there certainly hasn't been any scarcity of camo in Venice area this weekend We had a last minute trip assembled in the waining hours of daylight Monday and after close examination of the forecast and bouys we were off at 6pm..north winds 10-15 knots going to light and variable..couldnt wait to get to Venice..by 5pm the wind was light out of the south and there wasn't so much as a ripple anywhere in the marina or river..made bait in 3 casts filling the well with 20 perfect and energetic mullet; conditions were nearly flat calm with a slow rolling easterly ground swell outside of South Pass..the moon was shining brite making it easy to see even the slightest ripple..sea temp was about 76 degrees and with the light breeze it was really looking to be an extremely pleasant evening..ran about 30 miles out before I saw the first whitecap..mostly due to wind opposing the current.no biggie..continued on at a pretty good clip although the sea was definately building in the next hour as we approached our first and only stop..made our first drift and put a 120 pounder in the box amid a moderate chop and whistling wind..it was looking real good even though there was no sign of surface activity...excitement and anticipation slowly gave way to frustration and dissapointment..made a few more drifts with no luck and in about 30 minutes seas went from a relaxing 2-3 to a nasty 3-5 feet; with the 15 knot SSE wind opposing the 2 knot current out of the NNE, it didnt take but an hour get nasty on the east side of the platform..like a washing machine effect with the wave reflection..and borderline too much for comfort..eventually we could only fish the backside picking up all the blackfins we could release..tried chumming with a few chunks for a few hours before we made one last ditch effort in the slop..picked up another nice fish near about 100# around 3am but I could see it really wasnt much fun for the angler fighting more of mother nature amid an ever angled cockpit than his fish..I had two go down in the first hour and at 4am with 20 knot gusts the remaining crew raised the white flag..no argument from Darryl and I even if we would miss the sun-up bite..it was one of the nastiest trips I fished this year and I am always reluctant about going out at night this time of year after getting bit by 'the February Squall of '03, I just got bitten again..and if we hadn't picked up a nice fish off the bat, I would have called it early..of course it laid down for the ride in and by the time we were 20 miles from the pass there was hardly a breath of wind anywhere..decided to run Tiger..a beautiful sunrise in West Delta was the only medicine for our bruises and the flat glass conditions between the SW pass West Jetty and the dock made for alot of loud snoring..stayed calm until about 11am, after which I couldnt tell you. I didnt see any other boats leaving yesterday morning but I am sure it was a nice day for fishing offshore..so much for the 20 knots they were calling for in the NOAA forecast for yesterday..would have much traded a turn for a day trip then than the of pain and suffering..I have never seen the wind blow so much as I have this month..SANTA BRING US SOME CALM DAYS PLEASE!
