area code is (225) 342 7591, not 226


And yes, I did report to CG and DNR

Finished w/ 16 trout between two fishermen. Not much happening except a lot of boat traffic. Didn't see too many catching fish. We got there a lil late so maybe some people caught earlier.

Slow tide hurt I'm sure.

Should have gone back to Dulac.

I like 12# Big Game (Berkeley)Green. Normally I throw a 1/4 oz, but if there's no wind a 1/8 oz.

The correct answer

Deep canal + oysters sloping to bank + warming weather = foodchain => trout/reds. Wait for the second/third good cold front, find the above & pretty water (in the 50’s). Few days of warming (water in 60s) following the front is when you want to be there.

Tide was incoming all afternoon. Caught many of the fish in the middle of the bayou---8-10 ft, but bigger fish parallel to bank

Pink mirrolure (w/ blades), pop slightly and let sit at least 10 seconds, trout were blowing it up as it sat.

During the coldest weather fish the deeper water (bottom) slowly. The trout will stay all winter in an area that provides the above habitat---moving up and down.

Apply this throughout the marsh---Bayou Saveur ?? Bayou Decade down toward Lost Lake (esp by run outs), for ex.

The Sat. bf Katrina hit my son & I were tagging bullreds in Caminada Pass. Months later I was contacted bc a fish was recovered w/ my tag, but they hadn’t received my data cards. I told them it was storm related, apologized and sent in the cards. They said they’d contact me w/ retrieval info. I was thinking the fish had traveled miles and miles, etc.

Turns out the red was also caught in Caminada---the same day :lol:

Deer Bayou— deep water, fishing the edges near the dropoff. Got a couple of bites, dropped the anchor and finished up yesterday. Returned today, one stop shopping.

The tagging program is the LA Cooperative Marine Sport Fish Tagging Program. I believe you can find info on CCA’s website. I’ll go find the link bc I need more tags :cheers:

Yes, I was tagging and releasing the bigger ones, except for a couple/few 18 – 20 inch fish that had trebles in the gills.

Caught 30+ trout today (solo trip), again releasing fish 18+, brought 20 home.

Almost all fish caught tightlining green w/ black stripes in the cove to the immediate right leaving the bayou--Boudreaux?? (launched at first drawbridge past Chauvin).





Even in all of this wind I caught a limit of trout yesterday and again today. BIG. Probably released 7 fish over 21 inches yesterday (I know I released at least four bc I measured the first ones).

Today I took out my tagging kit and tagged and released 10 (ran out of tags). Biggest was 22 inches and tagged 2 others just over 18. Had a limit plus easy but kept only about 15---still haven’t cleaned yesterday’s catch.

Kicker: Left yesterday at 12:30, today I got out early….left at 11.

Second kicker: Every fish was caught on a top water Mirrolure. SON !!!!

Not sure what calender or what part of Area 6 this may be referring to, but in the Plaquemine/White Castle area the rut wont peak until after Christmas.

This will last until mid-way thru the second week of Jan and then from about 10-17th or so we try to catch bucks "wandering". These deer are looking for un-bred does and just kinda wander the property at anytime of the day. Jan 15th is known as a great time to see such activity.

Progressive may have good rates, but they will screw you for claims.

I just fought them and will never use again. I have never been lied to blatantly by a company like I was by Progressive.

PS - Auto claim, no m,y fault, they screwed me AND I AM A CUSTOMER.....was a customer.
