Great day !
 

Fish random spots along the ship channel today with my step son and a buddy today. Only fished for a few hours due to being on call. Wanted to get my step son on a trout so he could weigh in for the star tourny, he managed a good 2.5 pound trout.Attachment 36302
As we enjoying our time fishing my buddy tied on a 1 oz jig head with a 8" curl tail grub, just joking around having a good time he sets hook on something that pulled drag for a few seconds a came off ! Hummm redfish, who knows ! A few cast later wham somthing nailed that big bait, believe it or not a 5 lb trout came out of 25 ft of water with that in its mouth ! I could believe it !

He fished that bait the rest of the time we had and caught several more trout on it ! Well all I can say is that I learned somthing today !

Way to go putting your son on a trout.

Good job.

Good day indeed

nice fish!

Your story just reinforces the that fishing along the ship channel is the place to go during the hot summer day.

Today in got up to 99 F at the airport in Lake Charles.

Nice JW, i have caught them on the curly tails also but on the smaller curly tails, you just never know until you try, good catch

Thata boy J-dub!
