Trout Action HOT in Lafitte! 

Trout slam and I mean a slam, today was just one of those days. Three boats out today, Capt. Mike, Capt. Barry and I. They left the dock around 7:15, I was 30 minutes behind. Barry and Mike had the David Wells party of 7 guys. I had Tim and Bill from Canada who are fishing with me tomorrow and Sunday. The fishing today was as good as it gets, they had a 175 trout limit early, and my guys only kept 5 of the 60 plus they caught. Just enough for lunch at Jan's. By the time I returned they had cleaned probably half of their fish so this picture is short of those numbers. Beetles under a cork was the killer bait for the day. Perfect day at the office. Great weather, fisherman, and fishing! Out again tomorrow. 

As Always, Thanks! 

Capt. EJ
