Gulf of Mexico Middle Grounds Report 2/14/05

Capt. Rich and the crew of the Viking Starship just returned from their weekend 44 hr trip and report a successful trip. A cold north westerly front came through on Friday night, making for an uncomfortable ride out to the grounds. Once on the grounds the weather laid down nicely and the fish started to bite. They caught plenty of Gag Grouper up to 24lbs., lots of Mangrove and Vermillion snappers and a good bunch of amberjacks. The jackpot winners were Phil Putnam, of Bradenton, FL, who took both the Grouper and Amberjack pool, with a Grouper of 24lbs. and an Amberjack of 38lbs. David Wilson of Venice, FL won the Snapper jackpot with a 7.1 lb. Mangrove Snapper.

Capt. Rich also reports that they released over 100 American Red Snapper, and that was while trying to avoid them due to the closed season. This adds to the anticipation of the special trip we are planning to celebrate the re-opening of American Red Snapper season on April 21st. This special trip will be departing on Wed. April 20th and returning on Friday April 22nd @ noon. This will be a limited passenger trip…so book now!

Give us a call @ 888-358-7477 to get your reservations in...don't forget we have the special 24 hr trips on Feb. 25 & March 25 also. They are filling up quick!
