Hauled my little pond boat(Pelican Bass Raider) down to Johnson Bayou this morning. The most awesome sunrise I have seen in awhile!!! Anticipating green water but not the case. It was very calm early but then some waves from the east started coming through. Caught 7 trout, 5 keepers, lost 2 that would have went 3 pounds. 2 on plastics all the rest on topwater. It was my first time down there and I cannot wait to hit it when it is right. I did cast net a few mullet and tried that for a while but only caught a hard head. A guide boat came by me with live mullet and caught 2 reds but no trout. Another boat came by with live shrimp and caught some hard heads and left. A lot of folks were surf fishing but I did not see them catch much at all. I had a great time and have a new spot for my little boat. It worked great in this situation. I can get out in front of the rocks and am not regulated to the beach side. Left at noon.
