For the past few weekends i have been fishing down in dularge catching plenty of redfish and a few smaller specks on the upper end of lake Mechant. I really want to get on some bigger specks and more of them. I have been catching 1 keeper to every 10 or 15 specks in Mechant. The fished have obviously made the transition and are out in the gulf now out on the rigs. I have a 17 foot Xpress bass boat with a 90 yamaha on it. If i launched at Jug's Marina it would only be about a 25 mile run from the launch all the way out to the rigs such as the Pickets and the Mardi Gras rig. Would it be a bad idea for me and a friend to make this run? is my boat too small for this even on a very calm day? also are there any waters in or around Sister Lake that are protected enough for my boat but still hold good size trout right now and throughout the summer? Please give some opinions on making the run out to the beaches and rigs in my boat. If it is not too dangerous i think we might try it next weekend. thanks and god bless
