I "really" thought today might be the day, but we were still unable to find the trout. We found some gulls and we found some redfish, but only small trout. We finished the morning with 6 reds, 2 flounder and 9 crabs. I promised a gumbo for tomorrow so we caught our crabs before we even started fishing. We worked out butts off to catch 9 crabs, but we only had two lines. Thought it would be easy!
We found clearer water in several different places, but that apparently made no difference to the trout. We caught most of our reds and both flounder on black-chartreuse 3-inch Usual Suspects. I probably should have fished this evening, but Friday night football takes precedence over riding around looking for trout.
***Just talked with a friend that had nine trout up to three pounds wading somewhere on the La. shoreline. He said they caught every trout and three reds on Fat Boys in 3 to 4 feet of water. There's hope!
Fat Boy? crank bait?
