…have been off the charts horrible. Virtually no weekends where even a decent sized Cat could go out, I’ve seen more snapper hitting the deck from the Venice bayboat crew hiding in East Bay than the middle coast guides with big boats. Winds done seem to be high compared to the seas, guessing it’s the system that was near the Yucatan a few weeks ago still churning things up. We went last Sunday, and it was like a washing machine out there.

Only positive is this pattern has ended a historic drought where I hunt in South Texas, hoping in time for a good fawn and poult crop, and to put some mass on the racks.

I’ve been in GI the past two days and this is the windiest end of May into June I can remember. This is going to be a tough weather year for coastal & offshore fishing. Lots of rodeos will be affected.

I tried to sneak out of Cocodrie on Tuesday in my 25' cat and turned around at 18 miles. Had buddies that got beat to shite in a 36 Invincible same day. I still haven't landed a snapper this season.

That always cracks me up. Seas have been over 2' almost every single day since the season opened.

Am I missing something? LDWF landings puts it at 11% filled through 5/17.

But yeah I agree in general, they come up with some off the wall numbers during terrible weeks sometimes.

I remember one year in the dark ages there were 8-10's opening weekend and the quota was reported as some absurd number right after. Something like 40%.

That was last year! They reported some huge percentage of the quota filled in Week One, close to 20% IRRC, and we were stuck in port in a 26’ Cat because of the seas. All I can figure is they kept the quota number the same and carried over the overage from the previous year. I will be irrationally mad if there’s any frickery with the numbers after WLF told us to piss up a rope on the Pogie issue.

Was in Venice this weekend. Couldn't get out. It takes lest than 2's for me to make a short run in my bayboat. Wind seemed to be the big topic.

Finally found some trout in Breton Sound.
