Bahamas Gathering 2012 - Updated '08 Thread

[Rainmaker]

Count me in.....

I just got back from Fox Town a few days ago, we had a great trip. I normally head over for August 1 each year since that is when Lobster Season opens in the Bahamas.

For those who are wondering, fuel was $6.37 at Foxtown and short of one day, it was available.

I normally run out of St. Lucie inlet to Walkers and then down to Foxtown. I fish along Fish Cays and a little North of there. This year the grouper bite was slow, but we caught a bunch and we had an exceptional yellow eye snapper bite every day. We caught a bunch of very large yellow eye.

Our crossing was flat calm on the way to the islands, but the trip home was not so nice. The Sea of Abaco was not a very happy place with a tight 3-5 foot chop. The Ocean was better until the afternoon thunderstorm found us.

All in all, not a bad time.

Were are we talking about heading?
