Outstanding action today in Breton Sound. Light winds made for an easy glide deep into the Sound this morning. The sunrise was beautiful and so were the speckled trout thrashing the surface of the water on their way into the boat. The action was hot on carolina rigged and deep under cork live croakers. The trout were all solid 2-3 pounders. We got a third of the way to limits when a school of big bull redfish, 25-30 lbs, crashed our party. These bulls were relentless and destroyed anything in their path. My guests grew tired of catch and releasing them and we started breaking them off immediately after hookup. Needless to say, but the reds ruined what looked to be a trout slam dunk. Trout quickly turn from predetor to prey! A quick run to the next wellhead started the trout fiesta again. These fish were a little smaller - 13-20", but were hungry. Live croakers again topped the menu with live shrimp and artificial jigs being the appetizers. The bull reds also made their presence known, but did not shut down the bite. Several thunder storms merged together to the west and sealed off our dry return trip so we hung around catch and releasing bull redfish until the storms cleared our path. Light winds made for an easy glide back to the slip in Delacroix. A picture perfect day in Breton Sound! The fishing is excellent right now. You have your choice of big fish on the outside, smaller fish under the birds, smaller fish in the inside waters and the reliable redfish action. Get out there and get in the game!
