Fixed the photos, so many views exceeded photobuckets bandwidth so I moved them to another site.

What a fantastic trip you guys had, I love the idea of staying on a houseboat while you were there.
How far offshore do you have to run to the most productive oil rigs?

There are 3500 rigs and pumping stations in the gulf. The Floaters are the big ones that are way offshore. We visited Medusa that is about 50 miles out plus add the 18 miles of pass you need to run back to the Marina. Others are fishable 30 miles out and the DeepWater Horizon is about 90-100 miles from where we were. The midnight lumps are a popular area for weekend boats.

Holy Cow, I shouldn't allow such posts for fear that those of us in Florida would just quit fishing....

Nice report.

DAAAANG! That looks like one great trip! Gotta love catching yellowfins, Good work on the bruiser! Makes me wish we could get some oil rigs dumped here off the east coast.
