August 16 -19, 2008 - Another good weekend of fishing. The fishing was about a 6.5 out of 10. Sunday was the best day with all 4 boats limiting out on redfish. Saturday wasn't the best of days, but still everyone managed to put a real nice box of fish together. All of these storms that have been around, has made for some dirty water. So off to the ponds to find the redfish is where we have been.Saturday and Sunday we fished the Mike Desoto party from Marksville, La. Mike had fished with me several times before, on this trip he brought along his wife and several friends. Capt. Barry, Tommy and myself fished his group and on Sunday Capt. Mike fished the Powell family from Brandon, MS. Saturday morning was slow and with the weather and a short morning we only managed 15 reds between 3 boats. Sunday Capt. Tommy headed south to try for some trout, catching only a dozen, before he retreated to catch some redfish. The other three boats all limited out on reds in short time. Spinner baits, spoons and tight lining cocahoes produced all of the fish.
I took the Coast Guard party on Monday. Fished this group for U.S Envorimental in New Orleans. Made the run to where I had caught the fish yesterday, but today they didn't co-operate. Water had dropped which made it difficult to fish in the ponds. We made another run and located a few schools of drum to finish off the day. Spinner baits and shrimp under a cork
