Went up too my cousins house to give him some trout fillets. Stopped by his pond and broke out my ulta lite pole for a little fun , those copper nose bluegills and bass were fighting for my little spinner, didnât get any of the bigger ones but was a blast catching them , returning them back into their pond ð§ââï¸ð£
Got up this morning loaded up fish for my cousin, got on road heading too NR dang people got me hung up in traffic with the fog so I turned around and head back home , sat there drinking my cup of Joe and decided why not so hooked up boat and headed back out , fog was a bit of problem but GPS can see thru that fog ! Took my time and went too another spot from my log book , this was definitely a catch & release day today , trout and bass were fighting over my plugs , a great day even with a few gnats to keep me company ?????
Got up this morning decide why not , Cus up in NR needs some trout heâs running out now so hitched up and headed out there , started too go to same area but to many boats around , so went other direction too a spot Iâve caught some nice trout before last year , pulling out my twitch bait it was game on catching 25 trout and released 4 big girls to spawn again , finishing up early heading home , was a great day to be back out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
With all this bad weather lately and being locked down at home decided to service my fishing gear , glad I did ! So this morning it was pot luck just go out there and see whatâs biting , didnât take long for the trout to find my plug , I kept 4 trout for supper and let go 10 , nice girls to spawn this spring , lost 3 on side of boat , trying to flip them in , still donât use dat net haha , biggest trout was 24 1/2 inches, didnât have my scale today but will put it back in boat , even catching a nice kitty cat on my plug which I released as well . ð§ââï¸ð£
Looking over my log decided to go check out a spot thatâs been good using wake and twitch baits , water was up and winds was to bad , heading out could see fog starting to come in so put the coals on and got too were I wanted to be , had a good time , catching 20 trout , biggest weighed in at 3.9 lbs I let her go back too make more in the future , still was a great day before the dreaded gnats showed up ! ð§ââï¸ð£
Got up this morning opened my log book and checked out a area Iâ havenât gone too this year, at launch water was up surface temperature was 61 degrees so I knew right away where too go , had a blast using my favorite plugs , kept a few and let go 16 to to fight another day , was really foggy this am but managed to get where I wanted too go another great day to be out on the water again ð§ââï¸ð£
After looking over my log , I found a date and time where Iâve caught trout in skinny water before , so headed out there water was really down and falling , thereâs no way a big boat gonna get out there , had the whole area to myself , trout were on fire busting pogies , using my twitch baits had a blast again kept 6 trout for tomorrowâs supper and released over 20 trout only had a couple that went over 16 inches mostly were 13 inches but still was fun catching & releasing today , just another great day to be out on the water ! ð§ââï¸ð£
Last night as I was making a note in my log , it dawn on me that the next day from last years log , I caught more fish so , around 7am hitched up and headed back out , water had fell some but knew a area just right for the winds and tide , had a blast catching and releasing trout till the potlickers started coming around me , jus canât shake them off! I thought I seen it all , had one boat close to me and one fella decided to fall out of the boat, I shouted if they need my help, but other fella managed to pull him back on board , told him he better get back in fast before hypothermia sets in , just had to go after that fiasco I just called it a morning! ð§ââï¸ð£
Got up this morning frost on rooftops , sat at table and pulled out my log book , decided on the area I was gonna go too , water temperature was at 42 degrees , I knew right away were to start , wasnât disappointed using a twitch bait, a couple casts brought bass in I let go was looking for trout , had to weed out the reds and then it was game on keeping 4 trout for supper and released everything else back , watching them swim away , was a great day to get back out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
Went out this morning boy was it ever cold , but warmed up fast, water was dirty but managed to pull a few trout and bass out , was a catch and release day today, tide started to fall hard so wonât be any water left again , still s great day to be back out on the water ð§ââï¸ð£
Got up this morning for first trip of the year, checked log last night and wanted to see if my log was correct , on tides , winds and temperatures and areas couldnât be more happy again ! Twitch baits ruled the day ! ð§ââï¸ð£
Yesterday coming back from fishing I saw a bay boat being put on a flat bed wrecker, some how it gotten loose from the hitch and trailer and boat hit a tree or something , whole front of boat was damaged really bad, donât know if it is repairable, just double check ya hitch before pulling out ! I know this fella wonât be fishing for awhile , be safe and have a Happy New Year
After looking at weather last night I wasnât gonna go , text my neighbor Donny and told him that my flag was waving from strong winds, he said he probably go so I jumped up and hook up the ole boat heading down the road , figure I would try a area to get out of the winds if possible, got on a great bite using hard plastic twitch baits counted 20 trout that I let go and kept some smaller 13 inch trout for tomorrowâs supper , called it a day around 10:30 winds were picking up, still a great day to be back on da water ð§ââï¸ð£
Woke up early this morning,didnât have any plans about going fishing today, sat around and thought about my lil brother, just knew he would be saying go get them , left home around 7am heading too Delacroix area , water had came up enough for me to launch my boat so headed too a spot that was good to me plenty of times , the bite was like magic , all most every cast was a hook up , just knew Pauly was looking down on me , thanks lil bro for a wonderful time today , I released all the fish to fight another day for someone else ð§ââï¸ð£
Went out Monday morning , water was back up so headed out just for a morning of catch and release , got on a fairly good bite but mostly lil dinks in the mix , must of caught a dozen before hooking up to couple nicer bass and trout , last minute Honey called me ask me to bring a couple back home for supper , kept 5 trout released everything back to fight another day , was a very nice day to be back out ð§ââï¸ð£

Yesterday morning headed down to Delacroix area , was taken a chance since water has been down few days ago , got too the launch and surprised water was back up , headed out too the lake and only couple shortyâs so changed directions and headed too a place I know that had trout with the right conditions , wasnât disappointed , using twitch baits had a good time catching and releasing some nice trout total for the day was 21 trout , released to fight another day winds picked up so called it quits early ,good to be back out on da water . ð§ââï¸ð£
Went yesterday morning out towards the Delacroix area , tides was back up , water was just starting to fall , clear water so I decided to go too a spot from my fishing log Iâve been writing for years and I was right on time ! Using twitch baits the trout were hungry, even sheep heads were getting in on the action , normally I donât keep any big trout but these fish are heading up too New Roads for two special people who have ALS , my lil brother Pauly and my cousin Cary , who canât fish anymore , just know that they will enjoy them ð§ââï¸ð£
Went down too the island this morning running from Reggio tried the lake nada tide started to fall so working shoreline managed to catch 14 trout and 1 red all released to fight another day, was a little foggy but it cleared up around 7:30 am was a fun morning to be back out ð§ââï¸ð£
After checking weather forecast last night , stating chance of coastal flooding , I figured lâll take a gamble, got down too the launch had a few boats all ready launched , so why not , heading out too the lake area I made a few casts nada so headed too a spot I knew that had trout before , today was a catch and release day , didnât keep track but know I caught more than 20 trout before one decided to sling hooks back at me got me in da finger but wasnât that bad , boy that point hit bone it lite me up , still was a great day to be back out on da water. ð§ââï¸ð£
Mande : after talking to ya toda forgot to mention to ya that I freeze a gal. Ice cream bucket takes 2 days solid been using that ice block for years now , also throwing in about 1/2 gal of fresh water in ice chest keeps the fish slime down and chills water fast making fish nice and stiff for filet knife , hope ya get ya wallet back ð§ââï¸ð£
bullcoon : yep it seems that way Democrat dummyâs , been noticing that since the summer that firearms were starting to get scares , private gun market is probably only way to buy anything right now and people are stocking up on ammo since the election ! Just hope itâs all for nothing but itâs good to be prepared ! ð§ââï¸ð£

trkdrvr : True wake baits run just a couple inches under water on a slow steady retrieve , this one is a fresh water plug that I changed the hooks on , I was reeling it at different speeds to see what the trout wanted , I bought a few long time ago from Academy before the Covid showed up , H2O type plugs are now out of stock it seems , as well of their Twitch baits slow sink ! Hope this helps ya ð§ââï¸ð£
