re: How'd you do this weekend?

Fished out of Cocodrie Saturday morning.

Quick summary: 3 people in boat, didn't want to fish live bait so we stuck with top dogs, speculizers, and saltwater assassin's "chicken on a chain" under a cork. We fished a small island just north of sulphur mine, gulf side of last island near whiskey pass, and several points w/ current crossing on back side of the island. Water was beautiful everywhere until you got within 50-100 ft of the island. Thousands of 11 inch fish on backside of island. Never found the decent fish. Finished with about 35 or so.

I saw a few of the pics...the whole time i was busting my arse fishing those rigs, I was saying to myself...I should be in the fricking spillway right now. I know where i'm going look next, probably tomorrow after work.

No, I'm really not sure why. It seems like its been like that for most of the summer. If you can find an area where the clean/dirty line is closer to the island you'll do better. Hopefully with it being closer to the full moon today and tomorrow will be better for you.

Got off of work at 1 on Friday and went to my camp on Old River. My cousin was there with his boat and we went out to fish some houseboats. We got to one and immediately started catching sac-au-lait. We fished from it from 4-6 and caught 56. All nice ones too.

He had brought my aunt to go bass fishing, so we left the houseboat, went pick her up, and tried for some bass. Caught 3 bass (one around 4 lbs) and 3 bar fish/rock bass/striped bass that evening.

Saturday I was boatless since mine blew the frick up last weekend. I fished off our pier and raft and caught a good bit. I think around 60 for the whole day. I didn't fish too hard as I had a lot of work to do. The 60 was between 6 or 7 people fishing on and off.

Sunday was slow again. 3 of us caught about 30 off the pier Sunday morning.

All in all it was a pretty damn good weekend. The fishing off our pier could've been better, but I stil caught a nice mess each day. I spent a lot of Saturday brushing our raft, so hopefully we'll catch more in the future.

I'll post a few pics when I get them emailed to me.

Sounds like a good time to me




Just like us, we could have done better but we did decent

1 cast, 1 bass on beetlespin in my parent's pond yesterday.

Going to Dulac next weekend chasing the ever elusive trout limit this year.

that's a beautiful sight. I wish I had the patience to catch em... I just hate looking at a damn "strike indicator"

I wasnt too pissed since we had 92 sacs in the ice chest at that point.

Damn, nice catch. Spillway? How many boats did they have there?
