She seems to be lollygagging on the ladder.  ???

She seems to be "leaning" back a bit...

I think that may be NALT in a dolphin costume.

 I have no more hatred for any other mammal, than a dolphin. I mean first they steal my fish while I ma reeling them up offshore, and now they going after wemmin' folk too!!! >:( And they are "protected" so they know d@mn well they can get away with it!!!

Fess up!  Are you just angry that that particular dolphin is able to do that and get away with it and you aren't?  I am... >:(

Sometimes I've seen dogs sniffing around smelly behinds, but I've felt mostly disgust, not jealousy.

or maybe it's because that fish is seeing more "action" than 90% of
the male population on this forum  :dunno:

 :wall:

Did you know that it is (highly) illegal to feed dolphins in the wild? It's because they get used to the handouts and will not forge for themselves.  And they will actually teach their young to swim up to boats to beg for food. Hmmmmm, I guess they are a lot like humans after all.

since we are talking fish and stuff ... opening day of snapper season at
the little drinking village with a fishing problem , Dauphin Island , Alabama
(had to hold the King Mac up for good measures)

I see none of y'all were doing anything illegal with the sea life.  :)

Looks like a good crew and good time, X!

Dude!  Seriously!  You need to take me out fishing...soon!

Nalt , do you know those red snaps are on the endangered spices list ?
according to NMF anyways ....  (fire roy crabtree !)

there are very few of them in the Gulf nowadays :hugeeyeroll:

those were so hard to find , looked every bit of 45 seconds to find them !

they are only going to let us fish for them for about 30 days this year
the plan is to catch as many a possible before they eat every other
fish in the Gulf  :clap:
which by the way they have started doing to the 10th degree  :dunno:

come on down and get ya' some ! well get two a day because that's all
they let us keep ...
cost wise I believe it figures about 100 bucks a fish if you add the fuel
cost in for my friends 31 ft. Contender  LoL     :clap:

Yeah, I knew they were on a list.  However, I didn't think it was the "endangered" list, I thought they were on the "threatened" list.  Still not sure why anyone would want to threaten a fish but ok.  Wife and I are in the planning stages for a vacation and I'm hoping for a trip to the coast.  We usually do go to the Pensacola area and if we do that again this time then I might hollar at you and see if we can wet a hook...  ;)

Nalt , ya'll come on down

My daughter is taking me deep sea fishing aboard the "Total Package" on or around June 27th out of Pensacola Beach. Y'all come on board.

  Great job on the R.S.! HAte I didn't make it out opeeing day. looks like a  Smoker King too! Did you get him free lining?
  And I agree about the Snapper Regs. Absolutely asinine!!! 40 day season this year.
Triggers, and Mingo's are almost impossible to find. We all know it's because the RS's are eating them up. But hey let's shorten the season on R.S. and impose a Trigger Fish season to protect them too. Hey Roy, it ain't the humans causing the disappearance it's the Triggers you dumb ass!!!   
  It has been proven over and over again that NMFS is using junk science. They need to listen to ppl who know what they are talking about. People like Dr. Bob Shipp.
  I used to cooperate wit the little dock side surveys put on by FWC and NMFS. The last time they approached to " ask just a few questions" I went off 'em to the point I was attracting a crowd.

:-[ My bad. I thought the RS was photo shopped. :-[ Sounds like you can make some $$$ chartering these guys so I'll keep quiet. :-X

free lining a hard tail on the KM Ruben ...


as far as the RS population ?  the time it takes to limit out 10-15 minutes ...
I would say its like fishing in a stocked pond, but a stocked pond is not that easy

 :lol:

Nalt I was kidding about the endangered list , a jab at Dr. roy crabazz really ...

and Ruben , I sat down with Dr. Shipp awhile back and had a few beers
that guy will lay it down , to bad the roy crabazz's of the world are to
stupid to listen to him ....  :wall:

Dr. Shipp bringing the Snapper Heat   :clap:    http://vimeo.com/37538879

The maps shown indicating oilfield structures in the gulf may be misleading to some. I am not a "production" guy but I know what you see on the surface in the form of production platforms (what is left after drilling rig is gone) or satellite wells is not at all what you will see in the GOM bottom or floor.  Once you get offshore any distance at all the structures you see on the surface encase all the production mechanisms, production maintenance (for instance removing any gases or seawater from the oil and natural gas), and may all include living quarters for production personnel.  This is all visible from your boat. What anchors this to the seafloor are the casings of each and every well drilled, along with any seafloor well control instuments. These subsea controls are what you were looking at when the ROVs (robotic tools and cameras) were filming the bottom of the Deepwater Horizon, for instance. How much casing depends on how many wells were drilled. For the last 40-50 years, most well sites had 24 slots (or wells) at each location. Then you would also have the "Christmas Trees" with valves for shutting in the borehole from the ocean floor.  So what you see on the bottom wouldn't have near the surface area (for algae growth) as the "chicken coops" shown in the above video.

Yeah, I knew that.  I pretty well keep up with all of those politics regarding the sparceness (if that's really a word) of the RS.

In loving memory of Taz, I'd like to call NALT "beggar".

:'(  I miss the little "Slacker"...

 I got to meet him a few years ago at the SWS show in Mobile. Awesome guy.

Showing a bit of ignorance here, I did not realize big those fish get! :)
I'd love to go out one time but I am a little concerned about getting seasick. :)

they get even bigger then that , you should try the patch Terrie and
go for it . maybe try to pick a really calm day to start with .
some days it gets so slick it's like being on a lake but you trade off
a mild heat stroke for that usually ...
