GULF COAST - Jason goes offshore fishing with a group of experienced fisherman. Radio personality Sean Sullivan, outdoors man Joey Gates, outdoors writer Aaron White, Fox Ten photojournalist Vania Kuy and Captain Chance McConnell were part of Jason's crew.
Captain Chance set the course for the deep water rigs. The seas were running about two feet as we headed for open water.
Out in the Gulf of Mexico, the bottom droped off quickly from to 15 miles out. The transition is very gradual when you get out 40 miles, its about 200 feet deep. By the time you get to the deep water rigs, the water can be as deep as 2000 feet.
On board the boat there was a special type of grill called the Big Green Egg.
Jason said this charcoal grill makes the perfect steak. It is set in aluminum casing so it doesn't roll around the deck during the rough seas.
The big green egg is a great place to cook dinner if you are heading out. With this type of grill you can enjoy steaks and fresh vegetables like Jason did that night.
