After two hard earned days off, I was back out on Wednesday's with the Jim Schill party. The sad thing is Jim got a phone call at 1 AM that morning from his wife with terrible news that his mother had passed away. The crew had drove here from Texas, and he didn't want Bob, Jimmy, Tom, Karl and George to miss the trip, so they brought Jim to the airport early this morning to catch a flight back to Dallas. Our sincere condolences go out to Jim and his family. The guys had a great trip on day one, and was wishing Jim could have been there with them. After 2 days of letting the water settle down, I headed back to the redfish hotspot early. When we arrived on site, we found the water to be fair, but saw schools of redfish on the surface. It was a matter of making of couple cast to find out where to drop anchor and set up shop. Once we did it was on. The guys on my boat, as well as Capt. Barry's boat limited out in an hour, and for the rest of the morning we released redfish after redfish until the guys had enough and we returned to the docks. Once again we had to land over 100 redfish between both boats, easy! The feeding frenzy was so strong, that even a small little bluegill decided he needed to get in on the action, and inhaled a shrimp. I would have to say after all of my years fishing, I have never caught a bluegill while fishing for redfish. Baits of the days were spinner baits and shrimp on the bottom.
Still have a boat open for Saturday due to a late cancellation, give us a call if you would like to get in on some of the great Louisiana Fishing that we are spoiled too!
As Always, Thanks!
Capt. EJ
