LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN REPORT
Neil Thames & his fishing friend David made the short drive in from Laurel MS. We discussed the fishing and decided to fish the lake for Speckled Trout. We made the 10 minute run from my dock and after a little coaching David caught a good Speck. Then Neil caught one. The action was steady catching Specks and 2 Flounder for about 2 hours then it slacked off. We fished another 2 hours and only put one more Speck in the box. We moved to the Rigolets and the water was dirty. We did catch one REDFISH. Neil and David did a great job on those Lake Pontchartrain Specks.

We left my dock early, headed over to the bridges and started to fish. The fishing was slow we caught a few and missed a few. We decided to head over to the Biloxi Marsh and find some REDFISH. On Ed's second cast in the marsh a REDFISH hit his line and the fight was on. But things slowed down from their. I made a move to change our luck and Lionel put a nice 24' REDFISH on ice after a good fight. He then put another in on the next cast. It would be hit and miss for a while. We made another move and Bob missed one right away. In this bayou we put about 6 more REDFISH in the box. Bob caught a Fat REDFISH and Ed said 'that's a good way to finish' But Bob wanted to make one more cast well Bob put another REDFISH in the box.
