Big Dave Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Was blessed to spend the day with my son, Captain T. Bryan Stoots, today. We launched at the backcountry ramp at first light and ran out to the Gulf and up towards the creeks and rivers to fish the falling tide. The water was as dirty as I have ever seen it, and what looked like algae to me was prevalent in Whitewater Bay and Oyster Bay. Water temps were high. We caught 4 snook and 1 trout and Bryan lost what most likely was a very large Goliath Grouper, but could have been a snook. Not a great day from a fishing standpoint, but it was wonderful to have him with me on the boat for the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSerpent123 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Looks like a great day to me! I debated on fishing Sunday since the weather was suppose to have been nice. Looks like it was and you had great memories to share down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jh141 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Very Nice Dave, I treasure those days spent with my son and my daughter. My son is also a CG Captain (100 Ton) He manages a seven boat fleet of civilian 40 footers that do government training. He has a 40' Luhrs on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, was thrilled to hear it survived with a few minor bumps. That area took a pounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
