Guided Bay Fishing with Capt. Doug Dunkin. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

Ready to take off at 8 AM from the dock

at Breakaway Cruises with Capt. Doug Dunkin.

The minute than we arrived at our fishing spot we were

catching fish already. 

 Dale fighting his big Red Fish.

 Capt. Doug pointing over to Dwight who had a fish on.

 Dwight pulling in  his "BIG ONE" Right Dwight??

 And there it is. What fun!!!!!

 Yet another one.

 They really fight and want to get under the boat.

Keep that pole down.

In the net!!!!  Great job!!

 Yours truly with one of my big ones!!! Capt. Doug was

FANTASTIC!!

 The live well on the boat filled with with our fish.

 We take off in a cloud of mud to head back after a

very successful fishing day.

 Our catch. We cought both Specled Trout and Redfish.

Dale, Dwight and I with our catch.

We had enough fish to share feed 30 people from

THE HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS where we stay. The fish

are being prepared by Pier 19 as they do an excellent

job of cooking fish.

The day was overcast and low wind and mostly cloudy

all day. We fished in 1 1/2 to 3 feet of water with

artificial bait. Capt. Doug was fantastic and has much

experience fishing the LaGuna Madre Bay.

Rods, Reels, Bait and Tackle provided.

He Guarantees you will catch fish or you fish free!!  

I highly recommend Capt. Doug Dunkin and will definifely

fish with him again. He knows the Bay and the best fishing

spots like the back of his hand. He will make sure you catch fish!!

BAY AND DEEP SEA FISHING WITH OSPREY FISHING TRIPS

Fantastic fishing aboard the Osprey!!

 This is the Bay King boat we were on for Bay fishing

It was a beautiful day on the Laguna Madre. The crew was

excellent and made sure everyone on the boat caught fish.

 Cutting up our bait on the way out.

 View out the back of the boat on the way out.

 Back at the fish cleaning station with our catch.

FUN! FUN! FUN! Some nice Whiting. Very good eating!

 The pelicans wait for the scraps. We had to tend to our

stringers or the pelicans would take the fish right off

the stringer.

 After a very successful Bay trip it was time for

Deep Sea fishing for Red Snappers. We boarded the Osprey

out of Port Mansfield as the Deep Sea Fishing is much better there.

 We were escorted out by a family of Dolphins.

This was beautiful to see as they followed us in and out'

 A view out the back of the boat.

A simply gorgeous day.

 We also saw a few birds along the way out.

 The Gulf was calm and almost like glass as friend

Bob is pulling in a nice Red Snapper.

 We all limited out. The limit is 4 on Red Snappers and

this is my limit. Great time and excellent crew.

 Bob, Dale and I pictured with the total catch for the boat.

Mostly Red Snappers but the group also caught a nice

Shark, 3 nice Groupers, and a trigger fish.

 This is the cleaning station. We had some very nice

fillets and also kept the throats to cook.

Another picture of our fish. It just doesn't get any better

than that. 

 Pier 19 did an excellent job of cooking our fish.

They cooked them 4 different ways and served them

family style.

We had Pier 19 fix both the Red Snappers and the Whiting

so were able to have fish two different days and share

with our non fishing friends from the Holiday Inn Express.  

 OSPREY FISHING CRUISES are highly recommended as

they do a great job of making sure you come back with fish.

The crew was excellent!!!!!!!!!

When it comes to cooking fish Pier 19 is the very best.

I have had other restuarants fix fish but none compares to Pier 19
