                    What a great day in the Atchafalaya spillway. My brother and decided it was  time to make a checkout trip thru the spillway and I told him that I thought it might be a little early just yet but we had nothing better to do so we  hooked up the old Louisiana traveler and off we went. First things first we hit Jerry Lees for some of the best boudin and hog head cheese on the planet  and we were ready for A good boat ride but little did we know it would turn out ssssoooo good.

               When we got to the landing the water was a little on the high side but weve caught plenty of fish with the water much higer than it was todAy. We made a big round thru the central spillway looking for clean water and found a good bit of fishable water, mostly in the back ends of the dead end location canals and in virtually every canal we fished we caught something weather it be bass, bream, sacilat or catfish, chioupic and the occasional gar fish. We caught fish from the second cast until the last stop were we caught 3 small bass and a 6 pound choupic.

              We caught most of the fish on shiners today but we also caught fish on Berkly power worms in the June bug with the green glitter color (my personal favorite) crank baits in the citrus shad color rattle traps in the blue and chrome color and spinner baits mostly in the white and yellow color. We caught some quality bass today with the two largest going just over 5 pounds but we also caught a Lott of throw backs but they were still fun to snag just for the fun of the pull.

                     The final fish count for the day was 9 keeper bass 13 sacalait 2 nice cat fish and 27 bull bream. All in all a really great day on the water especially for this early in the year. The only thing that might change in the near future is the rise coming in the Mississippi river that will be here i n the coming weeks. If the warm weather holds out for another week or so the fishing should IMG_0121IMG_0118IMG_0122IMG_0120IMG_0123IMG_0119really turn on.

              The speckled trout just started to show up in hte Louisiana marshes and the same goes for them as the fresh water fish if the warm weather stays the action should get better and better. If you would like to make a trip with me weather  it be fresh water or salt water give me a call or drop me an email id love to take out where the big boys hang. The spring week end days are booking up prety  fast now so if your planing a trip get your dates reserved early.

                Remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

                     Thanks Capt Ron.
