Thursday I had the pleasure of fishing with my Baton Rouge crew Doo, Sara, Brandon Emily. running from the weather they still managed to put a nice box of fish together. 50 trout, 16 reds, drum and sheepheads.

Friday despite the bad weather I had the pleasure of fishing with my Livingston crew Amy Marty and his nephew. The day started with light rain but within a hour the weather took over and had to run into the march for reds. Total for the day was 9 reds, a handful of trout and drum.

fishing is heating up in Hopedale, Black Bay. I have a few days open over the next 2 weeks, so call and book your trip today!
