Headed home from a 3 day at Chandeleur on Southern Sport. Fishing was a little slow the first 2 days but yesterday was better. Total for 6 guys was a little over 100 trout. Probably 15 were over 20" and I caught a 26" at 6.5 lbs. Beautiful trout that ate a coastal brew dart in Laguna limeade color. I'll try to post a couple of pics but I usually dont have much luck at posting pics, if someone wants to help me out I could text or email them. I've got better pics that truly show the size but postimage says file type is not supported

Very nice. I’ll be out there is about 3 weeks. Y’all catch them in the surf or the backside?

Fishing was good all over yesterday, we picked up a limit of trout at Breton Island by 8:30. Only had 1 or 2 throwbacks.

Ran to main pass and caught a limit of snapper and headed back to Hopedale at 12:30. Not many days are that productive

Congrats on your PB

Most were caught wading cuts on the south of Katrina cut. Some gulf side and some on the inside. Caught a few on the grass beds around redfish point.

I didn't have a net so I was trying to baby her up to the beach. When I could see her size I was shocked and freaked out. A few guys were 100 yards away watching and we're joking that I either had a really nice fish or I had to take a shite. The captain with us said they only wish I could get a different picture to load that really shows the size, but i cant figure it out.about 2 fish a year like that at the islands.

We were with Island charters out of Biloxi, so we didn't run a small boat to the islands.

Good perspective with the pic you posted.

Most times you'll see the fish 2 ft. closer to the camera from the person holding it to try to make it look even bigger.
