P'cola July 4th trip

Bought a 21 foot center console this year and made myself a promise to use it and so far we've had a blast. Started the year off in Orange Beach over Memorial Day with nominal success. Our yearly trip is over the week of July 4th to Portofino Island outside of P'cola and it was great. I set out with the goal of learning the area and learning more about saltwater fishing. I've been a lot but always with a guide and you just don't learn it till you do it yourself. We fished 4 days and caught fish all but one. The first day we killed the Kings and caught a good many snapper. Highlight of the trip was my 10yo catching a nice Jack Crevelle. Fought him for 2o minutes and we were 1/2 mile from the hookup when he finally landed him. Great trip for sure.
