We had a lot of gas flares at tank batteries in Terrebonne Parish back in the ‘70’s. The speckled trout fishing around them was phenomenal.

We also fished the “monkey bar “ at Wine Island for tarpon at night using whole fresh mullet. And Four Bayou Pass near Grand Isle for bull reds.

Drift fished for swordfish in the shipping lanes in the GOM.
Those were exciting nights. One of those big ships could be on you in a minute if you weren’t watching.

Yellowfins at the Lump.

I also did a lot of trawling and butterfly netting at night for shrimp.


But my favorite was sticking the big flounders during Thanksgiving week. Largest was 7 1/2 pounds. We stuck hundreds of them.

Did you catch any? When was the last time you heard of anyone catching a tarpon here?
I night fish the area frequently and you have sparked my curiosity
