I don't know what everyone is saying about an easy crossing!!! I'm just gonna say i am glad i binge watched Deadliest Catch before this trip. Here is a small clip of the rough conditions we endured for approximately two whole hours!!!


@Eric Ballard you were right... there is no way your 19 footer would have made it!!
I hope the return trip will be the same.

I'm stoked everyone made it across safely & quickly! My lake is usually rougher than that!! I'm really kicking myself for not saying LAST year that I would make the trip THIS year... Here's to Bimini 2019 & have a great time and keep posting pics and vids!

Is there any word on the 19 footer? I didn’t know when they where crossing.
The 19ft boat had some issues sucking some weeds up out of the gate but was able to recover and is here with everyone enjoying Bimini.

Omg those waters are smoother than my lake was today!!! Damn I think it's true that June has better crossings. Hope the return is just as awesome!

FISH !!
Full moon is in a few days. This month they call it the MUTTON MOON... Mutton snapper are delish.
The fish almost always bite better a few days prior to full moon , on the outgoing tide. Fish the drop off right outside .
Maybe hire one of the locals to take a few out on one of the "fishing type" boats and split the guide fee. Should be about $200.
