Went this morning for a catch and release day , Honey called me saying bring one red home , so I headed too one of my spots , dang bull reds were cutting up chasing mullets I threw spoon and found out what they can do , had reel screaming line peeling off fast , got it close to boat threw hook , turned right around and tossed it right back into the mix only a second and red was screaming line off again , finally got it to side of boat used gaff and liped it , took pic and revived it letting it go have a big shark bite mark on its side, had to leave that spot plum worn out , ended up catching 4 reds lost 3 and a spoon gave one red too , two fellas watching me kept one red for tonightâs supper ???????????

Went out this morning towards Delacroix heading back to lake Amedee shorelines , had a little north wind blowing but no tide I could see , anyway I ran along the shoreline till I was in the grass , only seen a few reds cruising the grass managed to hook up on one using spoon, figured being the water was low again reds were right outside the grass line , switched to a wake bait catching three , after that vi put a rattle trap on and hooked a few but lost a couple in grass , did get one into my boat , kept 2 let rest go , also nailed 2 bass on spoon, thought it was reds cutting up in grass , put that spoon right in front of them couldnât resist , started getting hot at 9 am picked up and headed back in ??????????? FYI will only allow one photo now or it kicks ya out of system ?
Went back out yesterday morning sight casting for reds, using the spoon again had a blast , caught 11 reds all running around 20 inches , keeping 2 for supper and released the others to fight another day , great day for sight casting ???????????
At last minute made a decision to go, Honey gave me a kiss and said don?t bring anything back home ????, heading back out I could hear reds smashing bait in the grass , put on a wake bait aiming at a red that just exploded on something , perfect cast bang it was on , water was starting to roll in as I was cruising the shoreline grass , ended up catching 3 nice reds lost 3 to grass , for some reason can?t put all the pictures on this post ? ? ? ???????????
Went this morning no wind no tide, so I went too s spot I knew I had a good time before. , catching 5 reds loosing 3 in grass , was a catch & release day today ???????????
Ran out this morning water was back up and coming back in, so headed to a new spot that I hadnât fished this year , but knowing that on my log book it was just about ready , using a rattle trap and gold spoon had a good time , only kept 2 20 inch reds and released 7 to fight another day., great day to get back out there ???????????
Was gonna go crabbing this morning but after checking tide decided to go chasing reds , headed to a spot I knew reds would be lurking , staying in one place reds were all around my boat , took me short while to wrap up 5 nice reds going too a friend who can not fish anymore will enjoy these , gold spoon was the rule today ???????????
Ran out towards Delacroix this morning, tide was just starting to come in no winds to be seen or felt, could see reds chasing bait in the grass shorelines, using a gold spoon and a black plastic H&H cockahoe it was game on , catching 8 reds lost 5 at boat running into grass breaking off , I kept only 1 red for supper letting rest fight another day ???????????
Headed to Delacroix this morning , winds were blowing out of the west, tide was still falling so I headed back too a area in duck ponds but water was falling hard so I had to get out of there , always have a back up plan, moving too another area reds were chasing bait as it was coming out of the grass , winds were playing havoc with my casting so I moved to the shoreline switching to a spoon , lost a few but managed to boat 4 reds I let go did catch a nice flounder on a spoon first time ! Keeping only it for our supper this evening , got back in before the heat built up , great time again ! ???????????
Mande : nice trout , did ya bring ya fly rod up with ya ? Been getting new roof on the ole homestead , hope they have it completed today , wanna get back out there chasing them reds tomorrow, weatherâs been great cool morning ls lite winds , enjoy yâallâs time up there , send us some more pics ???????????????
BlueShamu ; thanks reds still abound but grass beds have been up rooted , the marsh has been rearranged again worse than what Katrina did , I would be very cautious while running around some of the bayous , seeing mud lumps smacked dab in the middle of some where it used to be 5-6 ft deep , Hopedale is up and running but as for the Delacroix area the roads were still slick with mud in spots , only to get worse if rain comes down , ya might wanna call before heading that way to see who?s back open , good luck I?ll be heading back out as soon as my new roof is done ???????????????
Mandi& GB3 thanks , looking forward to this winter fishing coming . MarshBum : private launch!
GB3 : Awesome hunt , glad yâall got on them.
BlueShamu : glad ya made out good , down over here I St Bernard parish we didnât do good outside of the Protection levees, from some of the pics Iâve seen, was told by a friend that IDA was worse than Katrina outside of the levees , I canât fathom that in my mind yet! We had significant destruction of our marshes from Katrina , just hope thereâs still going to be a place I can go fishing one day ???????????
