Another Great day Fishing in Hopedale La



Fished two boats yesterday with different groups. The bite was little off from the last few days with lots of small trout. The trout were scattered . No slam dunk limits to day but a great day on the hipedale waters and happy fisherman with nice catches of trout and redfish.
Jimmy and Denise fished with me and we did decent with trout putting 25 in the box and a lot more caught and released. I have been slaying the redfish but they were also in the no biting mood we put two goods one in the box and called ita day at noon or HOT O’CLOCK! Jimmy and Denise had a great time and enjoyed being on the water catching fish,
Capt Tony Barosse helped John Bordelon and Brother and son. There were in town for the weekend and wanted to get into the fish with his son. Mostly throwbacks on the trout but Capt tony found some hungry reds to bend the rod for them.

Mark's Family Clean Up!





Skip Marks, daughter Alex and son Phillip were doing their part yesterday down in Hopedale La helping with the cleanup. They were cleaning up on the trout and redfish. We got on a steady bite with some nice trout on the fringes of Black bay with live Campo shrimp under corks. The pattern was catch some then move down the bank until we catch another stick down and catch some more. The box was looking good when they shut down two more spots and we found them thick every cast live shrimp or plastic and the limit was full in short order. Ran back into the marsh and put 11 redfish on top of the trout and the box was full to the top. Awesome clean up job by the Mark’s Crew.
75 TROUT

GOOD FRIEND"S



Planned a scout trip yesterday with my friend Capt Ron his brother Rick and another freind of mine Claude. Well I got detained and could not make for daylight so Ron, Rick and Claude headed out and smashed the trout before I even wet a line. But they left the trout to come pick me up at the dock, now that there are some good friends. Well we wanted to do some scouting so we made a big round all thru Hopedale and Delacroix marshes catching some trout and reds along with some drums. So we headed back to where they left the trout this morning and they were still there. Finished up the limit of 100 trout around 3PM. Awesome day!
