Wind just wont' give us a break.

I wish I had a good report, but we stood under the awning at the marina and watched it rain all day today.  We have had a long run of unfishable wind this month after experiencing a very good January and February.  I might have to go back to Toledo Bend if this doesn't improve!

We got a pretty good rain today, but the water still looked good.  A stong south wind and big incoming tides have the water in the lake and bayous well up into the grass for the first time this spring.  I talked with two bass fishermen that caught several small reds and four keeper flounder working Whacky worms in the Black's Bayou area yesterday. 

If this little front doesn't hammer us too badly wind-wise over the next couple of days, we should start seeing some good catches of flounder.  It can't hurt the trout fishing either as we needed something to kick start the bite on the southeast shoreline. 

I postponed yet another trip scheduled for tomorrow rather than fight 20 mile per hour winds so the wind probably won't blow at all.  Hopefully it will let up for the latter part of the week.  We may drag up and move over to Big lake, but there aren't many places to hide over there in a stiff north wind either.  The long awaited big trout bite is just now starting over there, however, so it may be worth the misery even in the wind.

Just to let you know, I waded alligator cove in Sabine Sunday the 18th and the bait was every where. I could not get the sow trout to hit untill about 3:40. It was short lived (less than a hour) but there were some nice trout going up to 6lbs. One of the 4lb trout had a 9" mullet in it's mouth, I have no idea where she was going to put my SHE DOG. You talk about a rough ride back to the ramp, swells at a steady 3' to 4'.
