October 30, 2005 - The C.D. Diew group took a day off from the storm repair work at their homes to do a little fishing in Lafitte. These guys normally fish the east side of the river but due to most marinas being shut down they agreed to give our area a try.  Several areas we tried for the first two hours produced only a few small trout and two small reds. The water was not as clear as I would have liked it to be so it was off on a 30 minute boat ride. After finding bait and some clean water we managed to put a nice mess of trout in the box, 25 or so, one red and one flounder with that many through backs. We should have been there earlier, but thats fishing. All in all these guys got away from the storm cleanup and enjoyed their day on the water. Conditions, clean water ,light winds. Bait, glow beetle under a cork and H&H cocahoes on the botton.  See you on the water, Capt. E.J.

 

October 21, 2005 - The Kevin Cuevas group from Hattisburg, Ms. joined me today. Kevin has fished with me several times in the past and brought along a new group this time. After todays catch they are ready to come back in November. 77 trout, 3 bass, and 1 redfish.  Glow beetle under a cork was the bait of the day. Conditions: fog, light winds and clean water. We have some KNOCKOUT SPECIALS till the end of the year. Great fishing and prices that cannot be beat. Give us a call to book a trip.  As Always, Thanks! Capt. E.J.

 

 

October 19, 2005 - The trout were still in the same location as the past few days. We had a couple of them 18 inches this evening. I told the "Popping Cork Queen" if she caught a fish we will put her on the web and here she is, geaux girl!

 

 

 

October 18, 2005 - The fishing continues to be AWESOME in Lafitte. Lets pray that this new storm passes us by. The past few afternoons the fish have been on, it may be that the full moon is turning them on in the evening. 3 reds, 15 nice trout and 3 bass. Fish were hitting top water, tightline, under a cork, using just about any color. Take advantage of our new low price, and Let''s Go Fishing!

 

 

October 17, 2005 - My dog Daisy joined me today as you can see in the picture. We just targeted redfish today and after catching a limit of five it was back to the house. A nice catch for an hour of fishing. All fished were released, hopefully  they will be around for my trip on Friday. The Bourgeois, my neighbors were fishing near me so I took a picture of Mr. Pete with their big fish of the day.

 

 

October 16, 2005 - Salt water, fresh water , the fish do not care. One cast its a bass, next cast its a trout and then its a red. On a short afternoon scouting trip I caught 10 trout, 12 bass and 3 reds. I left after 5 and was back before 7. All fish were released to fight another day. If you have the oppurtunity to relax a bit, come to Lafitte and take advantage of probably the lowest price in the area! So give us a call and book a trip. The price is good till the end of the year.

 

 

October 12, 2005 - Donald Boudreaux an I made a short afternoon fishing trip which turned out to be very enjoyable. Leaving at 5pm did not give us much time for fishing but being in the right place at the right time some times pays off. 10 reds, a dozen bass and 2 trout for a kicker. The water was beautiful, clear and calm. We had two reds over 27 inches which were released but we did keep a mess for a fish fry for tomorrow. See you on the water.
