Thread 'LOVE October'

Oct 8, 2024

Another great day in the marsh. Got on 6 different fish every cast trout bites. Made a determined effort to leave each one biting after catching 10 shorts in a row. Tough 15 to 20k winds and strong current drained 75% of my trolling battery by noon, so eased back into the shallow drains and picked up 5 reds.

Trolling motor dead now, so hit one last hole to stake out and grind another fish every cast trout bite. Caught 50 more trout, only 1 broke the 15in size limit.

Fun day, caught between 130 and 140 fish, kept 1 red, 1 trout, and 1 flounder for supper

Thread 'Well, that was interesting'

Sep 28, 2024

Loaded up this morn at 4a and made the drive down to the coast to fish. Stopped at my favorite gas station down there to get my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich.
After the 80mile drive, I always walk around the boat and feel the hubs to be sure they are cool. While doing so, I realized I left my trolling motor in the garage

Reminded me of the time I drove 1.5h to bowhunt several years ago and realized after I got there I had left my bow at home.

Oh, well, tried to make the best of it using my push pole to maneuver and my anchor pin to hold me in spots. Couldn't cover water fast...

Basically been wearing them out... gazillions of small trout in the bayous, my ability to catch reds has been based on the bouy at Pearl River. Above 2.5 feet, and the reds have been in the grass and I cant catch them. Below 1.5 feet, and falling tide, I have been doing very very well. Haven't been out front, too windy most days. Water in the bayous has been great.

Working all weekend, but thinking about getting an air B&B this Fri eve so I can fish Fri and Saturday

We went out of Venice on Sunday. We caught over 100 in 5 hours. It was unreal. We caught our limits of redfish, red snapper (had to
leave as they were not in season) triple tail, white trout, speckled trout, black drum, angel fish, whiting, sheepshead, had on a tarpon and a big Jack Chevelle.

It was the trip of a lifetime for me and my boy.
