6 Hour Trip – Snapper Slam (AM) on August 10, 20263 adults

Captain Jeff absolutely blew it out of te water. As a native of the area, he thoroughly knows these waters, bites, and weather conditions. we were blessed with a perfect day on the Snapper Slam. Smacked the large red ones in the first couple spots, with my wife nailing 2 hogs. We then focused on bonus fish of Vermillion Snapper, Trigger Fish, a Chocolate Pouge. First mate, Jackson kept us at the right depth for each bite and bait on the hook. Can't thank them enough as wewill definitely be back for another trip ofa lifetime.
