Left Bens Lake at 0700...it was one of the most beautiful days we have had all year...we live in Paradise and this is my favorite time of year!

Made the short trip to the Destin Pass and LOADED UP on cigar minnow's, hard tails, and greenies...I meant to get a pic of it but the action was just to much. These pics are right before we dropped down and I didn't pick the camera back up until we were heding out. We had two sabiki rigs and every time we would drop down every gold hook would have a bait on it. In less than 30 min we had 75-100 nice baits in the livewell.

Heading out to the SW Edge...Smooth ride in 1-2's

Made it to the Edge in short order, you didn't even need a GPS today just head south and when you saw the line of boats about 500 yards apart running E-W for as far as the eye could see, you knew you were there! Well we dropped down and caught several porgys but no mingos or snapper...we were getting disappointed until my neighbor Phil decided to drop a big hardtail down and he was rewarded with our first keeper AJ since the 30 inch rule change...this guy went 32 inches

After several more porgys and not much else we decided to troll awhile, the water was a clean blue-green, 82 degrees, and we had seen some scattered grass and a few flyers on the way out...so out went the trolling gear

After trolling for a while and no knock downs we decided to head back in to our 9-mile honey hole...first drop and Cody bows up and brings up a nice snapper

Next it was my turn and as soon as the fish hit I told Phil to grab the camera this is a nice fish...I get it to the surface and this STUD is going in the fishbox!

We bow up with several more keeper snapper and limit out in short order.

Awesome ride home discussing where we will dive tomorrow (report to follow).  Park the boat...

Take the trophy pic

Clean the fish and the boat and still make it home in time to head up to Milton and enjoy some Saturday night dirt track racing....Overall a great day with great friends, It just doesn't get any better than this

I LOVE MY WIFE

WOW! nice fish.  I'd start the diving right where you caught those snapper!  Do you guys ever need a crew for diving?
