SHELL BEACH, LA. REPORT 10/28......George, Perry & Mike joined me yesterday morning for a windy start to a beautiful day in the Biloxi Marsh. Stopped by Campo's and picked up some of their world famous "catch fish or die trying" live shrimp and some good conversation to boot with Robbie and F.J. and after filling the well we headed for the marsh with trout and reds on our minds. Mike was in town for a few days and wanted to get a fishing trip in with his dad and brother and this was the day. We caught the end of the rising tide and it was slow going until it started to fall then the trout got active. They were throwing live shrimp 2 ft. under a rattling cork and were getting hits almost every cast with a few throwbacks but the action was the key as they were having a ball reeling them in. When they got their fill if trout we headed for some ponds and some "Cajun Bonefish" action. We pulled into a small pond with clear water and they casted to the grassline with the shrimp and after a few minutes the cork on Mikes rod slowly went down and as he set the hook the fight was on, it was a big red and it was angry as it broke water several times and made a few circles around the boat but Mike did a great job and I netted the fish and broke out the digital scale and the red weighed 14.2 lbs. He said it was his biggest red to date and he was a happy camper. The guys landed 5 more from 5 to 8 lbs. and by this time they were ready to head for the "Beach" and relax while cleaned the fish for their trip home. ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN THE BLAZER BAY.

DAYS TOTAL....61 TROUT 6 REDFISH

MARSH MASTER RODS, ABU REELS, H&H TACKLE & CAMPO'S LIVE SHRIMP HAULED THEM IN AGAIN.
