Report:
While Houston and Lake Charles were being flooded this past weekend, we escaped just to the east of all the rain and got to the Cocodrie area without a shower or threat. We tried to fish the islands for trout but found the winds had muddied it up and we therefore had to retreat to the marshes. Perhaps 60 fish were boated, but only a few 19 inch reds and specs were kept.

The largest numbers of fish caught were specs and reds, but mostly undersized. An odd thing we're seeing is 10 inch redfish with 3 spots on their tail. QUITE COMMON, compared to the rest of them.

We did manage to boat a small shark, flounder, croker, black drum, sheepshead, ladyfish, a stingray, channel mullet, gafftops, hardheads, and drug in some crabs and oysters on our lines as well, along with the reds and specs. Although the fish had previously been active on plastics in the days preceeding the wind, they preferred market bait on kayle hooks under speculizer corks.

What great laughs with the family nailing all those catch-and-release fish.
