Lafitte, Louisiana - Saltwater Fishing Report
Duck Ponds, Bayou Dupont
Thursday morning, left the dock around 6:15 and headed for the marsh. The north winds the prior 24 hrs had dropped the water 6 or 8 inches, but the tide was so high, we still had plenty of water to get around the marsh. The Hanggi family from Tennessee joined me yesterday morning. Jennie, Matt and their son Sam. Once again with kids in the boat, shrimp under a cork was the way to go, and all morning long I watched the youngster cast by himself and watch him fight fish after fish by himself. A mix bag of more than 50 fish, reds, drum, trout and sheepshead. Great weather, Great Crew, and excellent fishing. It just doesn't get much better than that. All fish were released to fight another day.
As Always, Thanks!
Capt. EJ
