YEEESSS!! God I’ve been sitting on ice waiting for yours or anyone else’s report who went. Totally epic man! What a blast! I’m hoping if y’all do a round two and get another invite my work schedule allows me to participate. I get off on the 9th and will be off until the 20th so I’m hoping to make a trip out there whenever the wind starts dying down after the 14th.
That dock shot is money!

Can’t wait to read y’alls epic reports and look at the pictures!! Float like butterflies, but sting like Tomahawk missiles!

Hi Herb! Yessir, can confirm that both the Compressor and Hashtag rigs have been removed. I learned about this during this trip.
Bummer of a trip though man, we’ve all been there. Thank you for the report.

I unfortunately go back on-call for work starting 9/4 through 9/9, which will now be even more painful knowing that ill be working while the Elites will be down in Venice hanging out, smashing limits, and having a blast! Very jealous, and I’m not even a jealous person, lol.
Anyway, I still very much appreciate the invite and I’m more than happy to contribute to the cause! Just let me know.
Side note, I work in the oil field and are pretty familiar with pipelines that run from the platforms to inshore. A few of them meet at some sort of underwater manifold off the coast of Venice. Specific locations, I don’t know. I’ve been told by a retired offshore guide of 33 years that those underwater structures usually act like a reef for red snapper. Of course this is just hear say and can’t confirm how true it is because I’ve never targeted red snapper before but figured I’d at least share the advice he shared with me since you guys are going to be targeting red snapper. I could be legit, maybe.
Man, I hope you guys have a blast. Good Luck!!

Unfortunately those wouldn’t work with what I do. If me and the other guy I work with (it’s just the two of us) wouldn’t have manipulated our work schedule prior to your invite to accommodate some other trips later this year I probably could have worked something out, but since we did it before your invite came out it was too late for me.

Yessir, white shrimp.
A few years back I got on a flock of birds around Point Lydia and it was the first time I caught two trout on a double rig. Changed my life, lol.
I did have other plans besides CI because it being a community honey hole but I couldn’t resist that tide range, and I figured it being a Monday the floatilla wouldn’t be there. It thankfully wasn’t.
I’m about 90% done with my Venice plan and now that you posted your tracks really boosted my confidence level because I’ve been looking hard at Blind Bay and had my route getting there is through the twin pipeline. I’ve also been reading over yours, T.O.Ts @Boyce ,and the other folks reports about Venice to help as well. hoping to get there sometime end of Aug / early Sept.
Thank you!
