Caught my attention too. I can only hope he is a cop and a hunter that uses a 308!

Perhaps he's a police sniper?

Thought the 308 was British? Never owned a gun, so I may be wrong.

My guess is he's a cop, and a hunter, and uses the 308.


And no, the .308 isn't British. The .303 is British and was in use when we had the .30-06. The .308 is the civilian equivalent to the 7.62x51 and came into use with the m14.

I probably saw you. You weren't by chance one of the guys jumping over the wall into the pass and drifting out with the tide were you? I was slurping shrimp on the gulf side east of the pass and fished both sides.

Sorry guys the bite picked up later in the evening and I didn’t check back to this thread. I caught 4 Reds, several mangrove snapper, skip jack and pinfish.

Yes, I’m a cop, I use to hunt a lot but not so much anymore and I use a 308 when I go.

chillnfish I saw one person slurping shrimp so it had to be you. I was wearing a bright yellow swim shorts with a white Columbia shirt and Columbia hat and I was on the East side. And no I was not one of those idiots jumping out there in the Pass with all those jellyfish.

Welcome cophunter308 thank you for your service and good fishing, might want to try the pier, it should be getting good,plenty of help on it too

Thank you and everyone else for welcoming me to the group!

Do any any of you fish the Fairhope Pier? I was curious how the bay fishing is going?

Mr. Wire, when I get down Monday, I'll expect to see some hopping out of you. But, allow me time to get my camera cued up and to alert the local media. I wouldn't want any of your fans to miss that!!
