Troy Brignac set two different crews for 2 days of fishing, and both days turned out great!

Day One – Troy Mike, Don, and Stan stared the day out strong Second stop started putting some quality trout in the boat. Live shrimp under corks on the oyster reefs in 3 ft of water. The bite was not crazy but steady after about 40 on ice they quit. Two stops later at rig in 8 ft of water we got on them again. Fishing shrimp 4 ft deep under corks picking some more big trout until the heat got unbearable and guys called it quits at 11:00 with 71 trout 2 to 3 lbs on ice.

Day Two - Troy was back this time with Michael and Tony. With the wind blowing stiff from the West I could not go to the area we caught in the other day. But the second stop was the charm again at a small island in some protected water the corks were going down and solid 2 lb trot were coming in the but steady. The guys had a blast and filled their limit of 75 trout along with catching and releasing 4 Bull Reds over 20 lbs by 10:00. Stopped a few places to try reds with "BFB" Big Fish Brignac catching all three we called it a day.
