Well, finally made it down with the family and after getting settled in the condo we made our way over to Pensacola this morning and met up with Capt Jon for the ride out.  Beautiful morning with very light Chop.  We were greeted at the pass with a nice easy sea and the family loved the ride out (much to my surprise.)

  Capt Jon put us on the hook and we started dropping down bait and my daughter Christa was the first to hook up and pulled up a beautiful ARS.

  Christa's boyfriend Justin was next with another quality Snapper but when Capt Jon hooked one on a knocker rig, he handed the rod off to Justin who fought it like a champ and was rewarded with the Stud Fish of the day (Made Christa mad a little I think).

  I have to take a second to say what a great guy Capt Jon is, he really did a great job keeping everyone baited up, detangled and the thing that really sticks in my mind is the job he did for my 6 year old.  He hooked a few triggers and got her involved. Way to go Capt Jon.

  Major props to Capt Jon for a job extremely welldone.  Even after we had our limit of Snappers he set up a couple of Mingo/Trigger rigs and my oldest and her boyfriend had a ball.

  Anyway, I cant say enough about the way Capt Jon took care of us and highly recommend him.  BTW, the entire family is wiped out and just about everyone slept the whole way back to Destin after a great lunch at Sidelines.  Dang I love their wings  Here is the haul.

The obligitory hold them out as far as you can pic.

A great day, thanks again Capt.
