Chuck Simmons, John Lacour, had Brent Depta come all the way from Dothan Georgia to sample some of the best speckled trout fishing on the Gulf coast in Hopedale Louisiana. Well they got the perfect weather and good tide movement and you know what that means TROUT SLAM! Thing started a little slow but picked up steadily all morning. I headed further out in the sound armed with live croakers and got on some mule trout but the bite would not take off. Bounced to few rigs and found some really good trout at an old rig with live shrimp and croakers 4 ft under corks, the bite would come and go but stayed steady but all quality sized trout. We camped out right their until the limit was full at 12:00. Chuck had been bragging on the fishing to Brent for awhile and I was glad to show what we have here in Louisiana the Sportsman's Paradise.

LIMIT! 75 Trout
