                            FINALLY THE TROUT SHOW UP IN HOPEDALE

 

                    Hello fellow anglers. What a great day on the water with a great family Mr. Kenny and his sons Luke, Dean, and Sean came in from Jackson Mississippi for some of La. best fishing experiences and it did not let them down. After an absolutely beautiful sunrise we made the ride out into the sound where we had been picking up a few trout and much to my surprise the trout were there and hungry. we caught well over 150 trout with 51 largest enough to make the ride back to Miss. with the group. Most of the trout were caught on glow h&h cocahoes with a chartruse tail but we caught fish on chicken on a chain and Berkley gulp in new penny and pearl rigged on a 3/8 ounce jig head bounced off the bottom. we also picked up a few trout on live minnow under a popping cork but only a few most came on plastics but even those fish were hitting kind of funny just kind of sucking in the bait rather than aggressively hitting it.

                            After the trout slowed a bit the guys wanted to bend the rod a bit so off to the red fish holes we went for some rod bending (and breaking) action and drag screaming and hooting hollering fun to come. As they have been for the last month or so the reds were  scattered all thru the Marsh with a few fish on most points ans cuts we fished. All of the reds and drums were caught on market shrimp under a cork. When we couldn’t get another fish in the fish box and the guys crying about sore arms we called it a day and headed for the dock.

                        A great time was had by all and every one caught their share of fish and then some. The final fish count for the day was 51 nice speckled trout 15 reds 6 drums and 2 bay snappers. The guys have been on the boat with me several times before and cant wait until their next trip down in the summer.The summer weekends are booking up fast so if you would like to get into some of the best speckled trout and red fishing in the world give me a call or drop me an email I would love to take you fishing.

                     As always remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
