Monday July 6th
Today was one of those windy days you do not like to see when you want to try to fish Speckled Trout, The wind was blowing 15mph and gusty from the southwest, I had a good friend and client Scott Drago, who called and wanted to take his father Don Drago Sr. and his brother Don Jr. out for a trip to celebrate his fathers 76st birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Don!
We headed out for Barataria Bay to try and catch some Specks, but the water was too choppy and dirty from the wind blowing. I ran to the west side of the bay, only to catch a few throwback trout and one nice keeper trout Mr. Don caught. After making a few stops and nothing going on, I decided to run over to Little Lake area, where we have been doing great with catching Redfish, this way we can salvage a windy day by hopefully filling the fish box with Redfish. And as luck has it, it was the right idea.
We boated 13 really nice reds before getting chased back to the dock at about 11:45am, by the thunderstorms moving into the Lafitte area. We had to make one stop on the way in at a camp to get out of the rain, but it did not last long and we made it back to the dock safely, not long after we returned to the dock, it rained the rest of the afternoon. But we did manage to catch a nice box of fish for Mr. Dons’ birthday trip. And as always, this is New Orleans Fishing At its Best!
I want to thank Mr. Don Drago Sr., and his two sons, Scott and Don Jr. for booking their fathers birthday trip with me, It was a pleasure fishing with you guys, and I hope to see Mr. Don for his birthday trip again next year, and I look forward to fishing with you in the future.
Check out the pictures from our trip.
