Today I had the pleasure of fishing for Capt. Mark with his Zachary group. We headed straight to Black Bay for some Trout action. Passing Stone island and Compressor it looked like Mardi-Gras day with all the boats. We proceeded to next stop and from first cast it was TROUT after TROUT!!!! Put 49 Nice trout in the box and then proceeded to the west for some redfish action. First stop yielded 2 REDS and a door mat FLOUNDER. Second stop and it was on!!!! In just a few minutes 14 more reds were in the box and we headed to the dock for some shade and refreshments. All were caught on Campo's shrimp. Black Bay and Hopedale marsh is in full swing. Call today and reserve your trip while dates are still open.
