Fun day on the Beach today. Today's crew was from Cummings Mid South, Mike, Shawn, Tim, Dana, and Walter. After a stop by Campo's for bait we headed to the edge of the Sound. We picked up a few nice Trout at our first stop, but way too slow. From here we headed deep into the Sound. The SW wind made things a little bouncy with the tide ripping in against the wind. We got a steady bite of some nice Trout that ranged from 1 to 4 pounds with most solid 2s. Live shrimp on a Carolina rig was what they wanted. We had to use a ¾ oz sinker with the tide running so hard toady. We had some croakers, but they just would not take them today. The guys put their limits in the boat and when they stopped to eat some lunch I picked up a rod and put a few in the boat for me. The wind laid down as the morning went on, so with an over stuffed fish box and flat seas we headed to the house. Total catch was 135 Trout, 2 Drum, and 1 Pompano.
Today when we got back to Campo's to gas up before heading to the slip we were treated to boiled shrimp. Robbie insisted that we all come over and get some. The shrimp were fantastic, they did a really good job cooking them. Come on by Campo's for their friendly service, world famous live shrimp and croakers, ice, fuel, and launch. Come on down and see what a great fishery we have in the Shell Beach area. Call United Charters now for your next fishing adventure 504-439-1680.
