Bumpity bump. Saw in the Captiva/Sanibel thread where Wes axed for a travel forum. I second the "make it so".
The week off was so good, I'm gonna' do it again week after next. Had a few Fo-Twinneys on draft with Weskie and invited him fishing the next day but somehow, he thought a trip to Biloxi would be better. Pffft....
Caught a snapper the size of a small pick up truck. This guy was right at 30 pounds and I literally thought I was trying to lift a pick up off the ocean floor. I've caught quite a few sailfish that went over 100 lbs. and this thing fought 10X harder and longer than any of them. On a side note, it was kind of a wake up call as we went out and came back in. (This boat puts in right on the beach) Saw a black tip shark jump out of the water in between the beach and the second sand bar. As we came in, a bull shark about 6-7 feet long cruised right by the boat in the crystal clear waters of the the second sand bar.
You know they're there...but it kind of slaps you in the face when you actually see it and see people swimming just yards away. Yeeesh.
Props to Wes also for turning us on to a bad azz restaurant I didn't even know existed. Place called 790 on the front beach road in Destin. Killer food and we ate on the back deck right there at the ocean. Take a little cash with you. Worth it!!
