Earlier this month my dad and I along with a couple of friends of ours, Wayne and Jimmy, took a trip to Mexico Beach/Port St Joe, FL to do a little fishing. My dad bought a center console Mako last year and has been dieing to take it out in the ocean. We had an a great time. Fishing for spanish, kings, grouper, snapper and anything else we could catch. :)
We had also entered into a fishing tournament with Bluewater Outriggers for their Charity Tournament. We didn’t do so well so instead of coming back at the allotted time for weigh ins we just stayed out and continued to fish. The next day however, we went back out and landed some very nice fish. We caught several spanish and kings including a 40 lbs King that my dad pulled in, and I landed about a 3 1/2 – 4 foot shark. Check out the link above for pictures from the tournament (they are not mine though). I think that we may make this an annual trip. Lots of fun.
So with all that said, I unfortunately have no pictures from the tournament or even from fishing. I took my camera out the first day but was so scared to pull it out of the console since saltwater can eat up a camera quickly. But I did get one shot from the trip back to our hotel of the sunset which I liked so I’ll post it up.
Enjoy! :)
I was terrified to pull out the camera on the boat yet I wasn’t scared to hang it outside the back window to catch this shot. Go figure. :\
