On Wensday June 3rd I had a charter trip with my friend and client from MS, Stan and his wife Teresa, and Tim and his wife Angela. With thunderstorms brewing from the south near the Gulf Of Mexico, we headed out for the west side of Barataria Bay to try and catch some trout. We stopped at a oilfield platform near grand Isle where the water was nice and the tide was coming in from the gulf. There were baitfish all over the surface and some hungry Speckled Trout under them. We caught 25 trout around the platform untill the thunderstorms ran us away with a gusty southeast wind and rain. So we ran into the Hackberry Bay area to get away from the rain, and found some birds diving on the west side of the bay. We caught another 15 to 18 Speckled Trout before it started raining on us and a waterspout ran us to a friends camp for shelter. two hours later when the rain let up, we went back out to catch a few more trout and with luck has it, we caught another 20 or so keeper trout and a few throwbacks that were not legal.
We ended the day with 63 Speckled Trout in the fish box, another great day of trout fishing with the weather being so nasty.
Thank you Stan, Teresa, Tim and Angela for booking your trip with me again, Its always a pleasure fishing with you, and I look forward to doing it again in the future.
