On Sat May 30th I had a trip with My friends and clients Tony Lytle, Bill and Liam Janowsky from MS. we headed out to Barataria Bay looking to catch a few nice Speckled Trout, with the wind blowing northeast at about 15 knots, we were not able to find clean water on the north end of the bay, so I headed out for the beach near Coupe Belle Pass in search of clean water and some hungry trout.
It was a bumpy ride crossing Barataria Bay to the southern end, but when we arrived at the beach it was fairly calm and the water was pretty and green. All the ingredients were there to catch a nice mess of trout, clean water and bait everywhere, except the tide was coming to and end. But we did catch 38 nice Speckled Trout and throwing back atleast 40 to 50 others that would not make the legal size, fishing under the birds in the Gulf of Mexico. We were casting glow bettles tightline before the tide quite completely and they stopped biting all together. So I headed into the marshes near Port Sulfur to catch some Redfish, and we ended the day catching 15 Redfish on black and chartruese Bayou Chubs Minnows with a 1/4 oz jighead. All in all we had a great time and caught some good fish. New Orleans Fishing at its best!
