Blue Water fishing memories

My name is Andrew and I want to share my fishing memories with you on this blog. I remember the very first deep sea fishing trip my dad carried me and my brother on. We had a great time fishing on the party boat out of destin. My brother (Brad) and I were hooked. Over the last 25 years, I have been on numerous trips. The majority of these trips are with the same guys. What memories we have made on all those boats.
Most of this blog will be about me, my brother and our family and friends. I will try to post to this blog and then have seperate pages telling more about these trips. Some pages may not have many pictures but I will do the best to cover the type of fish we caught and a story about this trip that may stick out. Guys like Brad H (my brother who is my most favorite fishing buddy), Mark H our dad (hardest working dad in the world), Sandi H (my wife and the only female to fish with us in Venice,LA), Joette H (Brad's wife and the only female to fish with us on Capt Kelly's boat),Mark M (Brad's father in law), Jim P (my father in law), Jeff M (the 2nd most dedicated fisherman on the face of this earth), Joey F (the most dedicated fisherman on the face of this earth), Jim W (the gas man), Mattew C (he still can't believe there are flying fish), Jeff G(Hayden guy and one of the coolest fisherman I know) , Chris L (another Hayden guy and also one of the coolest fisherman I know), Brad (Jeff G brother in law) ,Sean (the retired AF pilot), Sean's friend Yoder(another retired AF pilot), Paul M (the one wrestling coach that I respect the most and he is also another Hayden guy), Chad P (The only cousin that has fished with us), Charles H (our step brother that loves long hour trips, he is an avid fisherman).
I did go on a trip with a crew of coaches, booster club members, and administrators about 12 years ago that I will not give names for. This fishing trip was during fairly rough seas. One of the guys offered $500 for them to carry him back in and the other all most dehydrated. They both were very sick men and I felt bad for them. One of the guys said that he would never set foot on another boat again. It was not a good trip for him.
I have been sea sick about 4 or 5 times and I felt that same way. Being sea sick is the worst feeling in the world. I will have a page telling about the sickness that I have gone through and others as well. If you don't get sea sick then it is the most fun a group of guys that like to fish can do together. I hope you enjoy my fishing memories.
