Monday June 22nd ,
Today I fished with an ole friend and client Mike Epler and his wife Melissa, and Steve and Rebecca Hall. They are all from the Monroe, LA. Area, and Mike has fished with me in the past, but this time he brought his wife and friends to down for two days. Sunday they fished with Capt. Alden B and did well, They had their limit of 25 Redfish in the box by 11:00am and were back relaxing at the dock for noon.
On Monday we wanted to catch some Speckled Trout , but the wind that morning was blowing out of the northwest at 15mph, and it makes Barataria Bay very choppy with a wind that stiff. Speckled Trout do not bite well with choppy water, so we headed out for Turtle Bay/Little Lake area in search of Redfish. We made a few stops and hit it big, we caught 22 Redfish on one shoreline, to start filling the fish box . At around 11:00am we noticed that the wind had calmed down a bunch, so we headed out to barataria Bay. On our first stop we caught a hand full of specks and threw a few small trout we threw back, we started working the birds and did well catching 53 Speckled Trout and 3 nice white trout. We ended the day with a grand total of 22 Redfish, 53 Speckled trout , 3 White Trout and 2 Black Drum to fill the fish box.
I want to thank Mike, Melissa , Steve and Rebecca for booking their fishing trip with me this year, and I look forward to fishing with them in the future, and as always this was “ New Orleans Fishing at Its Best”.
