Everyday this week the winds have been 20+ mph. Coastal Louisiana has been under a coastal flood watch most of the week, and the tide is extremely high. Had to cancel Tuesday and Wednesday, but today, I had a crew that was determined to fish, rain or shine, and I was ready to go!
Things weren't looking good when I awoke this morning. Rain, rain everywhere. My clients Sheila and Grant Copple were staying at the Victoria Inn. No way we could leave the dock at 7 as we had planned. Tried for 8:15, that didn't work. It was after 10am before we could leave the dock. Fished an hour or so and the rain came again. Headed to a friends camp and watched it rain for 40 minutes. Finally it came to an end and the fishing was back on. With the water so high we fished places I usually can't fish. We ended the day with a**** couple of trout and an easy**** limit of reds, plus an additional 15 reds**** released for kicks. The crew had a blast, even though they fished through the rain. All fish were caught on Spinner baits blk/chart. Should be a great weekend to fish, if the rain stays away. Forget about the wind, the water is high enough for you to hide out easily and catch some fish.
Good Luck all.
As Always, Thanks!
