Anyone fishing the rodeo?

Taking off Friday and fishing hard until weigh in closes on Sunday.

I dunno, i think I'm gonna just head up to camp instead.

You better take plenty of cold beverages. I was up there at my place across the river last weekend and it was hotter than ---- and not even the slightest breeze.

I have actively avoided the rodeo, as an avid fisherman, for all but two years since I really started fishing around ‘93. I cannot enjoy that many people on the water with me. The gulf gets “crowded” like Lake Tahoe during Spring Break.
I will likely be headed up to my camp to get some chores done as well. With a cooler full of cold snacks! May even wet a line in the local creek.

That’s why you have to get out early and sling lures at the asshats who want to crowd you.

We going offshore fishing Friday and Saturday. Targeting snapper, gag, scamp and beeliner.

Nice. We will be inshore looking for big trout.

Yeah I avoid that place this weekend. It's just crazy. I hope to get down to the west end in 3 weeks to try and flounder.

Good luck..

Saw a few good ones caught under my office this morning Jonathan. Holler at me if you want the details.

Goal is to find a slot trout and then focus on flat fish Friday and Saturday. Will hopefully get the pressure off early and then mix in a cold snack
Good luck to all.

Just weighed in this one.

Stud. Was it 6.54??
Currently dodging lightening

Yessir team Southern Bay Marine. We were gonna put the boat in the water and run over to DI to weigh in but the storms popped up so we took the ferry.

Good fish.I’m not familiar with fishing over there.Will that be tough to beat?

Bunch of wet asses out there today.

It's a good un, but yes it can be beat 😃

Hoping to weigh in an 8lber tomorrow myself lol

😃 I believe y’all have a solid top 3 fish if not #1! Good luck.......

We smashed the scamp today and caught a bunch of nice red snapper too.. no gags or red grouper yet.

That looks like a Lagoon fish…

I thought the same thing. Nice trout.

My buddy is in first place for $2500 red snapper (Edgewater Allstar)

Was looking at the leader board. A 117lb Ono.... That's the catch of the rodeo.

That’s an absolute slob of a wahoo…..holy smokes

Tell your buddy he’s a dumbass for not entering the other jackpots (especially the $100) which he would be winning as well lol.


My trout got bumped to 2nd place by 0.98oz. Sheesh.

Maybe…..

Hell i can't keep up with all the different damn trout categories now. It has someone else (around 4 pound range) winning the marine motorized jackpot wth?

The jackpot is now slot only. So is the creel Calcutta.

Oh wow gotcha.

Gary taking the pic?

That's a stud!

Just looked in the booklet and this fish beat the previous ADSFR record by 25lbs.

I'd love to see a pic

I used to fish with those guys. They are good at what they do. I think a 22lb Bonita was also a catch of the rodeo. I’ve never heard of one that big in all the years of fishing this area.

Looks to possibly be a rodeo and state record

When we weighed in we were #3 on TT and #8 in creel speck category… we finished way on down the line! Lol

Southbamaslayer, what was the length of that trout?

28.25”
