Well folks, just got back from Biloxi, Mississippi. Went to the Chandeleur Islands for specs and reds. Had a blast. Fish weren't biting just exceptionaly but we landed several, biggest was about 20". Did do some Shark fishing and hung 3, one about 3-4 feet, 2 about 6-7 feet. didn't get them very close, they kept breaking the steel leaders. Using a little too light of tackel I guess. By buddy finaly hung one and we chased it in the boat for 20-30 minutes and got it to the boat. It was about a 6 ft. Think it was a nurse shark but I don't know. Medium brown with smooth round head. The boat and crew were awsome. Friday night we had the best prime rib I ever tasted. saturday was catch of the day. In all we caught 25-30 specs and 3 flounder. and some throw back reds. Others caught specs, 1 flounder, 2 big bull reds and a couple sharks. Hated to head out of state but couldn't pass up the Chandeleur Islands. Supposedly the "Spec capitol of the gulf". If you want a good trip I reccomend the crew we used. They have a 60 ft boat you ride to the islands on. From there you take a two man skiff to fish in. the crew reccomends where to go and tatics. If you aren't haveing much luck they will gladly hop in and go show you where and how. And don't be surprised to see the captain throwing a pole out and bringing in more fish than anyone else. But this was the best 2 days of costal fishing I have ever had. May never make it back, but I'll always try to.
