We were supposed to go this past Tuesday night to fish the full moon but the front set us back two days till Thursday evening. We left Oniels marina at 5 pm to catch bait and were greeted with a stff NW breeze that had some nice little 4 foot swells making it appear we may have to postpone again, because our destination was the Elbow 78 miles west of Ft Desoto in 170 ft of water. We were gonna need 2' or less as forecasted to pull it off. We bumped around near shore and blacked out the livewell with bait and waited. At 7 we decided to bail and set up on a break in 100' and try our luck. After about an hour of hit and miss action the wind subsided and the gulf settled down a bit. We decided to try to push a little further and see what happened. The further we pushed the calmer it got and pretty soon we were blarin it out full speed for the Elbow. We arrived just as the moon peeked over the horizon and set anchor on a massive ledge covered in fish.
Lines down were greeted with hungry agressive Mango Snappers of the xxextra large variety here. We were not going to need the measuring tape for this trip. We bumped around picking a few here and there and until we came upon a show of fish like none of us had ever seen. Soon 10 Pound plus Mangos Kings and a bonus Mahi hit the deck. It was a great trip with a smooth ride home. Going out now to filet. more pics to come.

Making me jealous SkyJay. Suppose to go offshore today but the weather was bad, so instead went fishing at skyway. A report will be here later.
