Friday's fishing report

Friday had a great trip with Jay, Mike, and Michael all from La. For a two boat outing in Hopedale. The day started out as expected with trout coming in the boat at daylight. After a couple of hours of catching trout the boys decided to try a hand a catching reds. We ended the day with 50 keeper specs, 12 reds, 1 puppy, 3 flounders and one gar about 25lbs. (released to fight another day). Capt. Anthony had the had the other part of the group and ended up with 65 trout, 8 reds and 1 flounder. All fish was caught on live shrimp and DOA's under a cork. The guys were a blast and all had a good time.

The Fall Fishing is in full swing and the trout and reds are gearing up for the winter. Days are getting booked up fast, so don't let the magical time of the year slip by you for some awesome fishing and a chance to get some fish for the freezer. To get your day on the water for a no hassle, enjoyable fishing experience in Louisiana's top fishing area give me a call at 985-285-5014 then sit back and relax.
