Windy day in the Delacroix marsh. The wind was light until about 8:30 AM then it got progressively brisk up to about 20 K and steady out of the North West. We found some clean water on the inside with a good falling tide and got into a steady bite on trout up to 2.5 lbs. All artificial today, my guest was a purist! The fish were glued to the bottom in 12 feet of water. Casts up on the flat were inhaled by nice sized flounder. The trout wanted tightlined plastic in smoke with a red tail color. As the wind picked up and the tide waned, we hit a couple of other spots picking up trout at each stop. Same lures and technique. Ended the day with a few fish short of trout limits, a dozen flounder and a few reds and drum. The system is definately full of river water and the color is stained, but the fish do not seem to mind. Good luck out there this week!
