Lafitte Report / Weekend Outlook:
Although the winds have been anywhere from steady 15-20 with higher gusts, this is actually helping. We are transitioning from our winter patterns into our spring patterns nicely. Finally getting some high water this week. Water in the ponds, and back in the marsh has been extra clean, and with a good mix of clean water and scattered grass, the redfish are making their ways out of the duck ponds and on to the shorelines of the area bays. The trick this week is simple, with the water about 6-8 inches over the grass, when you throw your spinner bait, make sure your cranking your reel as soon as your bait hits the water. The reds have been coming up and destroying your lures. Lots of pretty fish out there right now. Winds should remain up for today, then slack a little for Saturday, then blow again. Concentrate your efforts on the East side of the Barataria Waterway this weekend if you want to catch a nice box of fish. We have managed to catch 3 lost trout this week. One each day. So hopefully it will not be long before we start getting a few numbers. Best bait this week has been a black/chartreuse H&H cocahoe on a Gold Spinner fished on power pro line.
Below is a pic from today's trip with Don, John, and Rob. Once again, we could have spent all day flying a kite or sailing with the blustery conditions. Given the conditions, the guys did great coming home with a full ice chest of big reds, and then we headed over to Jan's for a wonderful lunch as always. We got several boats out over the next week, so check back for updates. Good luck this weekend to everyone, be safe, and take a kid fishing with you.
