Had to come to New Orleans on business, and hit Lake Borgne with my dad.

Fishing was suprisingly slow...threw topwater and plastic in what looked to be a very 'redfishy area' for almost 2 hours, and caught nothing...then, we hit the motherload.

I hooked and landed a platter, I mean a big fat flounder, then two casts later, caught a nice 25" speck...that's GIGANTIC for these parts as most trout run in the 12-16" range.

We ended the day with 24 trout, and a big fat flounder...all fish were caught on a Salt Pepper Deadly Dudly wiht a chartreuse tail on a 1/4 oz. jighead..bounced on the bottom.

Here's a pic of me with my big trout and flatty.



All the other trout were smallish 12-16" fish...nothing to brag about, but darn good to eat.

Now, to get on PINS and find some pomps!

Nice flattie. I used to go to the Yscloskey gas plant on Hwy 46 once a year. I always wondered how the fishing was in those parts.

Since they shut down the MRGO...things are kind of weird...the tides aren't what they used to be...and are different. I've always been a Shell Beach/Hopedale/Reggio guy, OR, some where along Hwy 23 between Port Sulfur and Buras.

I was really surprised at the trout we caught today...October is usually full on redfish BLITZ,and we never even saw a HINT of a redfish...just odd.

I did see a jack blow up on a pod of mullet about 10 feet in front of the boat...was very cool. The thing knocked a couple of foot long mullet about 6 feet in the air!
