It was a beautiful day to be out on the water, with a nice cool breeze and no rain in sight.

We started the day out from Lafitte in search of redfish. I went in the direction of Bay Round to find some nice reds that I spotted a couple of days before. The the water was very dirty from the windy days before, and the rain and high winds we had the night before. So we decided to go to a few of my favorite duck ponds, and see what the shallow water looked like. The duck ponds were also dirty from the bad weather the night before also.

We threw baits at many redfish waking down the banks, but were not very successful at getting many to given the conitions. We set out to our second spot, with no luck, although we saw many redfish.

One of my favorite ponds did produce some willing redfish. We landed 9 redfish and one 1 Speckled Trout. It finally came as a relief after casting at more than 50 stubborn redfish. It was frustrating watching them swim by the baits and turn their nose to the lure. After exhausting our efforts in finding clean water and with the winds picking up to 15-20 mph, we finally called it a day. We returned to the dock with 9 redfish and 1 trout.
