Day one with good customers Mark Maclean and Tim Balin from Texas found 20-27 knot winds forecasted! We got lucky first thing in the morning as the winds were only blowing 15!! We hit a pile of specks right away and put a mess together. We made a few moves adding to the count. Shrimp TKO by Matrix Shad under Four Horsemen Tackle corks did the damage. Always a fun time with these guys. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com

Ray Spurlock was back down with a crew new to saltwater fishing. We started off the morning with shrimp and trout busting all around the big Blue Wave Boats. The guys were learning to cast and lots of small fish mixed in, so not many fish made the box. We moved around a bunch after the shrimp bite quit, but found a few other flocks of birds and shrimp. Again, most all white trout and small specks. We found a lost puffer fish inside for the first time, a ribbon fish, a shark which made things interesting. Most fish caught under a Four Horsemen Tackle cork on various colors of Matrix Shad lures. It was a fun time with the guys, thanks Ray. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Long time customer Rick Woolsey and sons from California were back with me on the new 2600 Blue Wave Boats. Rick called me a few weeks ago and let me know about his dad Dick Woolsey who also has been fishing with me for 14 years. Mr Dick passed away and Rick knew how much he loved fishing with me down in Dularge and asked if he could come spread some of his ashes in his favorite fishing grounds. Well it was another incredible fast morning with Rick and the boys slamming the fish, then we said our farewells to Mr Dick. It was a honor to have known him and a honor to have Rick call me about it. Thanks guys, always a pleasure having you with me. RIP Mr Dick Woolsey 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Elliot Electric crew was back with us with four boats running. We were presented with high winds and boats all over the place. Small trout and tons of white trout at all our stops all morning. We put some miles on the big 2600 Blue Wave Boats searching high and low for a bite, but never found one. A couple lost reds and some keeper specks as my crew werenât interested in keeping any white trout. Thanks guys for the continued business. Thanks Captâs Kevin, Shawn, and Austin for running the other boats. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com

Steve Simpson brought his daughter and friend down for a day of fishing. High winds continue, but so does the catching.

After rescheduling Paul Clouatre 3 times, we finally got our trip in. The guys jumped onboard the big 2600 Blue Wave Boats and smashed the specks!!

Thanks guys, I enjoyed slamming the fish with you!! 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com

Right before, been super busy.
Thanks
I fish between West Timbalier island and Blue point rigs. Everything in between from the marsh to 20 miles out in the Gulf.
Purple haze, green hornet, avocado, shrimp Creole, Tiger, glow have all been putting them in the boat.
Only plastics I use is Matrix Shad
Smooth puffer fish
No one is selling live shrimp in Dularge. You can buy live shrimp in Cocodrie or from the Tracie Macie bait boat depending where he Is located.
Tuesday
I only fish in Dularge!! Launch from my camp everyday I fish!!
We left from my dock at the end of Dularge past Jugs. The tide was falling when we were on our best bite and water temperature was 64 degrees. We had a strong South wind so we had to stay protected on the South banks out of the wind, this is where we found the cleanest water also. Fish are starting to show back up on the inside waters (lake Mechant, Sister Lake, etc) all the way down to the coast. So far things are pointing to a good trout bite this Spring.
Your right about that!! No one ever has said 'wish I had worked more' Thanks, it definitely was a special day. He hasn't stopped asking when can we go again!! I plan to take him more in the future for sure.
Sister and Mechant areas mostly. Hearing multiple good reports from Decade also, but I haven't been there personally.
Trout have been almost everywhere. We have been focusing on reefs, points, and current lines.

Find clean water is most important. We haven't seen and shrimp or birds diving yet, hopefully they will show up by the weekend.
No, it has not been marked.
Correct its a Ridgid reciprocating saw the handheld model. Can be bought at Home Depot or you can also contact Andrew Messenger 225 329 3295 he sells the knifes and the blades. We use them to clean all of our redfish, drum, and sheephead.
No sir I run a Bluewave, best bay boat on the water.
Mostly all school trout right now, having to weed through hundreds of small fish. Seems like each day though more keepers are showing up.
Itâs been sold!!
