Ok here are my pics for week 1

Saturday: 34 inch Amberjack


Sunday: 40 inch Amberjack

Holding the fish and getting a photo isn't as easy as it seems. Even though the camera is one touch operation most people can't simply press the button, lol. Notice the guys finger in pic one and the other guy who insisted on standing in the way of the guy taking the pic.

As you can see we caught more but I only measured the biggest and didn't realize 3 could be entered, sorry. This is a redfish 31 inches long, I also had a 21 and a 23 incher I could have entered, won't forget next time. Still didn't receive the things you sent , shirt patch, flag, etc. They were caught Sunday on March 11.

Captain Hook here, due to the windy weather and low tides this past week we did not go out and I have no fish to enter in the guides contest. Will be out next week weather permitting, hope to make up for lost time. Good luck to the other captains.[pirate][pirate][pirate]

Went out today 3-19-2007... and caught a bunch of Sheepshead and 2 nice Black Drum and a nice Slot Redfish.

The Redfish was 26 " and the Sheepshead was 19"

I took a close up picture of both because the tape measure was hard to read.
Redfish = 26 "

Sheepshead = 19"


Sorry the pictures are not so clear. This was my first time posting pics for the tournament. I'll get it better next time.
Good Luck to all Captains

The wind finally let up and we got out for a good day of fishing. Here are my entries for this week all caught in the Biloxi Marsh out of Shell Beach, La.....Capt. Hook

Report for 3-24-2007:
The bite today was a little slow today.
It's not what I was wanting, I needed a 27" fish but we managed to catch a 25" Red along with some nice Sheepshead and a med sized Black Drum.

I forgot to take the picture when we caught it on the boat so I took it at home. Hope that's ok.

I would like to use this Redfish in place of the 19" sheepshead.

How do you guys like my parrot? He got a little bleached out by the sun, also lost a little weight chasing all the pink flamingos but still a good pet.[]

Here are my fish for the week..

This is a Redfish we did a quick measurment and then released it.
In the State of Fl, we have a slot 18" - 27", so it went back to be caught another day.
Had a picture of me holding it up, but for some reason it didn't take.
Redfish was 36"

Sheepshead - 22"

Sheepshead - 21"

It's been very windy and cold the past two days.
See Ya on the Water.
