Trout are Jumping!

Another great week down in God’s Country Hopedale La. The speckled trout are biting steady and on the day’s when the wind calm down the trout bite has been fantastic. The redfish are scattered with the high tides and you have to keep on the move to get them . Live shrimp has been the ticket for both trout and redfish fished 2 ft under a cork. Looking forward to the rest of the month and hoping the winds calm down and it will be even better if you can imagine that. Any way get some live shrimp from Campo’s and go get ‘em Or just give me a call and I will put you on them for sure. YOUR BOAT IS WAITING. GAURANTEED FISH!

May Fishing Report in Hopedale LA

The winds calmed this past weekend and we were able to get out after the speckled trout and we found them hungry and eager to take our baits. Solid trout up the 3 lbs with steady action. We have live shrimp now and that is what they want. Get them started withe shrimp and then the plastics will do the job too as long as 1 to 2 rods are trowing the live stuff to keep the bite on. The redfish are in the shallow ponds and points with shell bottoms and moving water live or dead shrimp floated with the current will get your rod bent for sure. the Miiss River is rising and will affect us some but the trout are on and should stay on.

ENJOY THE PIC'S! OR BETTER YET GIVE ME CALL AND COME ENJOY CATCHING THEM YOURSELF.
CALL TODAY AND BOOK TRIP YOU WILL NOT FORGET!

Still catching Fish despite the wind in Hopedale LA

Wind is still blowing but we are still coming in with some fine catches of redfish, flounder and speckled trout.!
FRIDAY was very windy again but that was not deterring Skip and Alex marks. It was opening day their first trip of the season and they could not wait to bend the rod. We started out right in some school trout having fun and few in the box. Trout were scattered so we kept on the move getting a few at each spot building a box. Later we put our sights on redfish and had the drags running with some nice reds. Great day and lot’s of fun.
34 Trout
8 redfish
1 Flounder.

SATURDAY the wind was even stronger 15 -25 SE I had group from Hilti Tools on board helping out Capt Dude with a group. We started in the trout under some birds but mostly too small and the wind kept us from staying with the school. We turned our attention to redfish the rest of the day working from one point to the next picking up a couple at each and filled the box with a limit of nice redfish, drum, and flounder.
20 Redfish
5 Drum
12 trout
1 flounder
