With every boat known to mankind in the water for Blue Angels airshows the next few days, please adhere to the basic rule of Right of Way. This rule applies in Pensacola Bay, Santa Rosa Sound, and the Gulf of Mexico. Contrary to popular belief, neither the biggest boat, fastest boat, nor boat in the channel necessarily has the right of way. If you are piloting the Give-Way vessel, give way early. If you are piloting the Stand-On vessel, Look Out! Basically, if another vessel is between your 12 O'Clock and 4 O'Clock, you must yield to that vessel.

I am always happy when my clients want to harvest something for dinner and a 9-pound Mangrove Snapper jumps in the boat. Mark and his son Cameron had a great day in the Gulf before the big blow arrived!

The Gulf was beautiful yesterday! My client Butch from TX wanted to get his arms stretched out a little - this fat American Red Snapper came up for a meet and greet and was released unharmed with my descending device. We had a lot of great fishing action and fellowship!

In the middle of a Snapper bonanza, my client Scott B. yanks this thing up. Has anybody ever seen one before?? A little short, so still swimming. Good to see!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It's always great to have General Jack Ramsaur and his OCS buddy John Fisher on the boat. These two warriors hauled in some nice AJs a couple days back. I am sure sore arms and backs visited the following morning. Solid!
