Lafitte Weekend Report:
What a great weekend of fishing down here on the bayou. Last weeks blustery south winds, and rains made for an extremely high tide, crystal clear water, and a fantastic redfish bite. All parties this weekend caught limits of fish, and played catch and release for the remainder of the day.
Coming off a stellar fishing day last Thursday, we kept the momentum heading into the weekend. Capt. Barry started it off on Friday landing over 40 Redfish and hitting the dock with their crews easy limit. Saturday, We had 4 boats out. Capt. Barry, Capt. Tommy, Capt. Mike, and myself all headed for the high water duck ponds early. Despite the blustery conditions, we all hammered the redfish. All crews came back to the dock with ice chest full of some really nice reds. Sunday, I was the only boat out, and needless to say, the bite in the area we were fishing slowed. All of the fish probably had sore mouths since we hooked everything for miles the 3 prior days. Add on the fact that the tide took a plunge the night before from a passing cold front, and dirtied the water. We still managed to end up with a really nice mess of reds. Just a great weekend weather wise with the sunny skies, and comfortable temps. If we could have shaken the winds, it would have been perfect conditions. At least the strong redfish bite made it enjoyable. Most fish this weekend were caught on Black and Chartreuse, or Purple and Chartreuse cocahoes fished with gold spinners. Some fish caught on spoons as well. Got another busy week this week, so check back later for updates.
I would like to that the Howard, Leonard, Reeves and Powers party for fishing with us. Hope to have all of you back soon.
As Always, Thanks!
Capt. EJ
