Hopedale, Louisiana - Saltwater Fishing Report
Marsh
The crew from Southern Glass Gary, Mike, Gary, and Dukie put a whipping on the specks Thursday morning. The first couple of spots nothing then we found the trout on the windy shoreline holding off the a point along with drums and reds mixed in. Campo shrimp under the cork was doing the job. The box was looking good when things slowed to a crawl. Time to move. Made a short run deeper in the marsh and rounded a turn in the bayou and BIRDS! diving in front of a little drainout. Trout on non stop to the guy's filled their limit. The fish were not feeding on shrimp but pot bellied minnows coming out of the drain with the falling tide, but they had no problem hitting a live Campo shrimp thrown in the current. Great day box full of fish and did not have to go far to do it.
