Trout Train Still Rolling!

Trout Train Still Rolling Sunday & Monday I fished with Mike, Al, Ray, Eric and Rico. We fished a mid morning trip on Sunday and did not kill them but had 50 nice trout in the box a little after noon. Monday we were out early and started out where we left them and they were still there. Ounce we got them started I called over some friends in another boat and got them in position just outside of the fish. That worked great we had the school just in front and between the boats keeping the baits in the same area keeping the trout biting. Hit the marsh and did some red fishing catching 7 reds and drums before calling it a day before it got hot. Wednesday Chuck and Jim some regulars brought along their friend Kenny for his first trip with me and what a trip. We started at the rigs in black bay our first stop had trout coming in the boat live shrimp under corks. The trout were mixed in size but a slow steady bite had the box looking good. A couple of rigs later we hit gold big fat trout slamming our baits both under corks and on bottom. We finished our limit right there and headed in to try the reds. We caught plenty of reds but all too small to keep and one nice flounder. CAPT GENE DUGAS RATHERBE FISHING-HUNTING ADVENTURES www.ratherbe-fishing.com 985-640-0569

Bad Weather Great Trip!

Windy Rainey Day Yesterday. Larry, Robbie,Josh,and Blaine and I left the dock at first light and was met with a huge storm . It blew 20to30 for awhile no getting outside after the trout. Plan B,so we worked around some ponds in the rain close to Black bay for redfish hoping the weather would break and we could get out. We put a few reds in the boat broke off a few and landed and released a huge bull drum. Then it happened the rain stopped wind calmed so we took our shot and ran out. First stop a couple dirty water second and third catfish number four it happened picked few trout so we anchored down and they slowly started coming in the boat then they turned on trout coming in steady. The weather was making another run on us so we headed in and just made it in time. Cold and wet but smiling with box full of trout on bad weather day. We fished hard no matter the weather and made the best of it and got lucky. 75 TROUT 6 REDFISH CAPT GENE DUGAS RATHER BE FISHING ADVENTURES 985-640-0569 www.ratherbe-fishing.com
