August 12-15, 2008 - The great fishing resumed yesterday and this morning we had another follow up of great action.Thursday's trip with the Huismann family. We have been trying to get this trip in for the last three days. Tuesday was very windy, and we had a downpour of rain on Wednesday. The group was driving in from Baton Rouge and I didn't want them to drive here for nothing, and to fish in bad conditions, so we rescheduled. After we left the dock, someone had to be burning a candle of bad voodoo on us. We landed only two fish out of the first six and dropped six or more the rest of the day. Almost lost as many as we caught. Ended the day with 15 nice keepers plus a great time, some days you can't catch them all.
This morning I had a great great crew for the Victoria Inn. Picked up Antonio and Windy at 6am. It was one of those short and sweet fishing trip. Catch a limit, play catch and release for a while, and beat the heat. Back at the dock a little after 10, cleaned up, filled up the tank, and back at the house by 11, and ready for the weekend. Tried shrimp under a cork, but the skip jacks were tough. Changed to spinner baits and that made the difference.
Fishing is looking great for the weekend. Should be overcast skies, 40% chance of rain, and an even better chance of catching fish! Getting ready to head off for our evening trip, check back soon to see how that went. We have a really busy weekend with multiple boats, check back Monday for an update on those trips.
