2 Boat trip today! Billy Johnson and crew took a day off from sorting mail for the US Postal Service to sample the fishing in Hopedale LA. Well we got decent weather and LIVE SHRIMP which made fro a great day. We fished the outer bays and close in rigs and put together a good catch of fish with trout up to four lbs. live shrimp under corks and on the bottom had the trout coming in the boat steady. Finished up working some points in the marsh to top off the boxes with redfish. Really fun trip great group of guy’s too. Look forward to seeing these guy’s again this fall. Thanks to Capt. Nathan for helping out with this group.
105 Speckled trout
