Jacques, Leon & Don’s trip

Today I fished with Jacques, Leon and Don from Broussard, LA.

We were facing an approaching cold front, producing rain and wind.  This made for a late start, leaving Lafitte Harbor Marina at 11:00 a.m.

We ended our day with 20 nice Redfish arriving at the dock at 6:00 p.m.

I want to thank you Jacques,  Leon and Don for fishing with us and thanks for a great steak dinner afterwards!

I look forward to fishing with you guys again.

Louis & Sherry’s Trip 

I fished with Louis & Sherry from St. Francisville, LA for 2 days.

Eventhough we faced a windy day on day one we limited out on Reds.

On day 2, we landed 12 Reds & 5 Trout.  We hooked 7 more Reds, but they managed to live another day, making us just short of out days limit.

Thank you Louis & Sherry for fishing with us.   I look forward to fishing with you again!

Today I fished with Craig and Shaune Conrad from Columbus, OH.

Leaving the dock at 7:30 am, the winds were going to give us a challenging day on the water.  We fished the Myrtle Grove and Bay Round areas.  A great time was had by all as we ended the day with our boat limit by 1:30 pm.  I would like to thank Craig and Shaune for fishing with me today.  I had a great time guys!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIKE & DONNY’S TROUT & REDFISH TRIP

MIKE & DONNY’S TROUT & REDFISH TRIP

AUGUST 15th & 16th, 2011 

I fished 2 days with Mike from Mississippi and Donny from Alabama.

On Monday we started the morning with a boat limit of 15 Redfish by 8:00 am and caught and released another 10 Redfish before deciding to go looking for Speckled Trout.  We made our way out to Barataria Bay to fish oyster reefs in the Port Sulphur area.  We found one reef with a nice school of Speckled Trout, where we caught our boat limit of 75.

On Tuesday, day 2, we headed straight out to the oyster reefs and caught our boat limit of 75 Speckled Trout and then went off into the marsh to look for Redfish.  We ended the day with 8 Redfish and 1 Black Drum.

I want to thank you Mike and Donny for 2 great days on the water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FLY FISHING TRIP WITH BOB & TOBY

FLY FISHING TRIP WITH BOB & TOBY

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17th, 2011

Today I had a trip with Bob and Toby who wanted to try their luck with fly fishing on Redfish and Speckled Trout.

We went to Barataria Bay and found a school of trout, where Bob and Toby caught a trout on just about every cast with their fly rods, for 2 hours!

After spending some time playing catch and release with the fly rods, we decided to try our luck with Redfish with the fly rod.   We  found a school of Bull Reds on the surface, where Bob and Toby hooked each a 37″ to 38″ Redfish in the 30 lb class.  After about a 25 minute fight on 16 lb test line, we managed to land the Redfish and take pics and released them safely to fight another day.

Chad also caught a few Speckled Trout for his first time fly fishing.

I want to thank Bob and Toby for a great day on the water.
