May 12, 2009 - The Onslaught Continues! Today I had the pleasure of fishing with John Devites and Don Carter. When I am telling you we caught fish all day, we caught fish all day! Left the dock early to flat calm conditions. Made for a great ride out. Arrived on scence to find decent water, and lots of bait. Started trolling, and before long, wham, a big red decided he was ready to meet his making. For the remainder of the morning, it was same ole, same ole. Throw in a dozen nice trout
May 8-10, 2009 - Lafitte Weekend Report Needless to say, the winds decided to start laying down, and as we have been saying for the last 2 months, as soon as the winds quit, the fishing was going to bust loose. The shrimp and baitfish are everywhere and the speckled trout bite, as well as the redfish bite has now topped the charts. The water everywhere is finally starting to settle and get clearer by the day. We fished all weekend, and just about all boats put a dent in the fish population.
May 7, 2009 - Today was my last day with Mr. Jessie after 3 great days of fishing. I hope I can do the things he does when I am 80. He gave it hell for three straight days. Today was the best of the three days. With light winds and clear water, he ended up catching his limit of reds and trout. He even had several battles with three big bull reds. He said next time he wants a broomstick for those guys. Salt &pepper beetles under a cork for the trout and blk/char spinner baits for the reds.
