Subject: Fishing Report of 4-18-03
Apalachicola, St. George Island to St. Marks, Florida -- Offshore
We took a few days off this past week to visit the newest member of our family, Evan Bailey Ackerman, at his mom and dad’s home in Greenville, SC. He was born on Friday the 11th of this month and at 8 # 6 oz. he would make a good sized grouper, but moreover a fine grandson.
Evan is our second grandson from Mom Jodi and Dad Steve. They are doing an outstanding job of providing us with an extremely fine future fishin’ crew. We can’t wait to get the boys out!
We did have the opportunity to run two very fine charters in the last week or so.
Chip Miller, from up in Illinois brought a bunch of his Canadian buddies down to fish with us on the 12th. Ken Landry, Gord Congdon, Colin De Jong, Mike Bachnick and Terry Gough made for a fine Canadian crew, “A”.
We really enjoyed fishing with these great guys and a more fun loving bunch I don’t think could be found anywhere. I accused them of being the Canadian version of Girls Gone Wild without the girls and they pretty much owned up to it, “A”.
We had a nice catch of fish too, “A”. 12 grouper to 14# and a nice mess of black sea bass. We also caught and released 6 big ole’ red snapper, “A”.
Chip is planning another trip with us later in the season for his family and we look forward to it. He’s a super nice guy.
Pat and Sharon Haasl from up in Charlotte, NC brought their extended family in from Wisconsin and California to fish with us on the 16th. Charlie and Virginia Haasl and Marvin Mattheisen made up the rest of this fine crew.
This was to be Pat’s second trip with us and Sharon and Virginia’s first. It good they brought the ladies along as they asked for nor gave any quarter to the frisky grouper we encountered that day. The guys noticed right off that the ladies don’t play around.
A good catch of 10 nice grouper to 16# and a couple of nice state type red snapper and a batch of tasty black sea bass made for nice photos back at the dock for this fine crew.
Take those kids fishing & Catch Em’ Up Capt. Randy
