As I mentioned briefly on another thread - I went down to Port Isabel for a few days to visit the inlaws. Like many of my recent holiday trips, I managed to get violently ill for a couple of days during the trip - don't think it's the in-laws but there is a correlation.... :wink: Anyway, aside from that, it was a good trip. Had some decent Mexican food (which is hard to come by in Seattle) and had a nice time with the in-laws. Yesterday (Tues Dec. 19th), I took my father-in-law out on a charter with "Capt. Murphy". We had a good time a limited out in a reasonable time.
Others on the boat weren't so lucky (or skilled?? :lol: ) so we were out until about 4PM. The capt. was a knowledgeable, hard working fella who moved the boat to about 6 different wrecks looking for fish. Those who knew how to fish well limited out (about 1/2 the boat), the others struggled a little. Apparently many days are much easier and everyone limits. Regardless, fresh red snapped breaded a fried for dinner last night was pretty tasty. Here's a photo of dad-in-law ("Pops") with both our limits in his hands.
