Default My Vacation

Well I made it here on Tue nught. On wed we went around looking at stuff and also mmy friend Mark is looking at new to him boats, we went to Seaway Marina in Gulfport and looked at a nice 23 Seacraft with a 300 Yamaha, I have filled in Mark on all ther things he needed to know, I made a offer and now waiting?? we will see

From there we went to Kiln, Ms To Jordon River Steamers, We had a nice dinner with a few friends if Johns, We had Lobster that was very good, But man thr Gumbo SUCKED!! But it was a nice night non the less. The Crawfish Bisque was great!

Today we went all over the place in Johns 1962 Plymouth that he and I started restoring 20 years ago! It was in good shape when he moived from Mass back in the mid 90's, But he has done a ton more work to it over the years!!
Every were we went people were looking at us and asking questions. Man the women love that thing!

We went to a place right here in Long Beach called The Crawfish Hut, I and my wife decided to try a sample plate and it had, Fried okra, fried shrimp, fried oysters, fried cat fish, and fried alligator. Everything was pretty good, John and his wife had a pound plate of steamed crawfish, so I tried a few, not bad tasted ok a bit spicy which i like, but the meat was a bit soft .

So at 7:30 we will be fishing on the gulf. More pic's to come after the trip tomorrow!!

Here is John in thre plymouth



As you can see as it was getting dark the women were getting cool!!





Ocean Springs bridge





Ok I will give you guys a update tomorrow!!

Hoping to see stinky Sunday and Ferm on Sat!!

Well Friday morning we left on are fishing trip, We meet the Captain in Bayou Caddy and headed for the Rigolets for a day of Reds and Trout.
Was a very slow start, but we found the trout after a bit and got about a dozen of them. While fishing for them we manged to scare a small school of Reds.
We moved all over the place and John caught a 15 pound Red and what a nice fight he had on light tackle!

I forgot the camera and have no pic's for the day The captain did get a pic of John and the fish and we are waiting for him to email it to us.

The boat was a 23 Hydrosport with 250 hp 4 stroke, what a nice moving boat!!
The Captain was a nice enough guy, and knew how to run the boat and how to fish, but his gear was less then in good shape! I lost at least one chance to get some Reds cause the spinning gear was all stiff to the point we had to pull the bail over by hand. He also did not offer any info on how to catch the fish, I had to watch him and figure it out for myself, then tell John how to do it.
But it was a great day out there I got my first sun burn iof the season!


Now for Saturday, we headed for New Orleans, we meet up with Ferm and his wife, Nice people! to bad we did not have a log of time together as we got a later start then we expected and it took Ferm a little longer then he thought to get there. But it was nice talking and to put a face to a name!! Thanks Ferm!!

After that we were off to the streets, we had a blast!! Lots of interesting people for sure!
My wife got the wheelchair ride of her life after I had 3 shots of JD, 2 Banana Dac, 1 Hand Grenade, and more beers I can remember!!
I do have some pictures here but will wait till I get home to post.
Just as we started walking the streets the sky's opened up and it was raining most of the time, we were wet but fun was had by all!

How does someone that's barely left the state of Massachusetts his whole life finally get to go on two vacations within a couple months and all he has to show for it are about a half dozen pics between the two vacations. The guy goes on a fishing charter and can't even take one single pic.
If Hammer were around more, he would not stand for this at all. Not one bit. Neither should the rest of us dammit!!!!!
This is grounds for justifiable mutiny.
