Dave Lemoine from Indiana was in town visiting family and friends and set this trip bringing along the Reed family Jerry Sr, Jerry and Beau. Dave is originally from Louisiana and it had been a long time since he fished the marsh. Things started off great right in the trout plastics under corks had fish coming in the boat but only half went in the box a lot of smallies. Headed a little further out and found some bigger fish eager to take the baits. But the WIND made its appearance again and shut down the bite and made the area I caught in yesterday unfishable. We worked around getting a few more trout and the decision was made to catch some redfish. Dead shrimp under corks working the points and the reds and drums were filling the box. The highlight of the day was when we had a big red break off at the boat and the cork just stayed in the area. So we went after him and Beau made a perfect cast and hooked the cork and landed the fish. It was like scoring a touchdown. A lot fun with this group and Dave really enjoyed being on the water back in Louisiana.
