| 02/20/2006 Fishing Report Sunday and Monday this week remained rough offshore, not to mention the bitter cold, especially out on the water. Tuesday was calmer, but still very cold, and my anglers chickened out! Wednesday was chilly at the outset, but warmed up nicely. Unfortunately, the seas weren't as calm as predicted, but at least it was possible to fish! I headed out of New Pass to about 45 feet, with Tom Batcheller, Lee Larson and son Kyle Larson, and Bud Glanzer. First thing, we hooked a big gag grouper, but he ran off with the line and broke the leader. We ended up with three limits of mangrove snapper to 16 inches, and a keeper tripletail. Arnold Gullard and friends fished with me Thursday, in 44 feet out of New Pass. We didn't catch quite as many as I had the day before, but the action was steady. We caught nine snapper to 17 inches, and two keeper sheepshead. We released porgies, and gag grouper to 19 inches. After two days of decent offshore fishing, the bite
slowed down again on Friday. I Fishing Saturday, about 26 miles out of New Pass, with Tom Batcheller, Gary Jacobson, Chuck Gerner, and Grayson Kielhold, we caught some nice sheepshead, all about 16 inches, a few keeper mangrove snapper, some 14 inch porkfish, triggerfish and grunts. We released gag shorts to 20 inches and a few red grouper shorts."
