Hog Island/Deep Bayou 7-23
 

Set out in a semi-marsh worthy boat around 6:15. Caught a few flounder near where we launched at Hog Island, but by 9:00, the wind was too much. We decided to try Deep Bayou from the roadside, and kept 4 specks, and a red. Probably threw back 20 dink reds. It felt like a good day because we had meat at the end of it, but I'm still waiting for that first limit. Had a blast.

Nothing wrong with that!!!

How long was that red?

A good pile of filets is always a good trip.

The red was 19" and just over 3 pounds. Good eatin size. The flounder ranged from just under, to just over a pound. The trout were 12-13". Not world beaters, but a fun day. Caught most of this on popping corks with live shrimp. Caught a bundle of those shrimp stealin ladyfish too. I think that's what they are called.

If you catch a ladyfish, that is not too big.....use it as live bait to catch a big Speck. Or cut up the bigger ones and put a chunk on a hook.

Best redfish bait. N trout were ripping them to shreds at the beach a few weeks back

Do you fish ladyfish the same way as mullet? Well, I guess that's kid of an open question since they can be fished so many ways. Are they best live, cut, on a double drop leader etc.?

where is hog island and deep bayou?

Hog island launch is off of hwy 27 going to Cameron which is exit 20 off I-10. Past spicers and before west cove. Deep bayou is prolly somewhere close to there. Never fished it. Just drive your truck in every bayou around there and when u sink over the cab it's prolly a deep bayou... Lol... Jj idk where deep bayou is

Deep Bayou is just past Johnson's Bayou toward Texas. Turn north for a few miles and you're there. We fished on the roadside, past the boat launch.

thanks, don't plan to fish there, just like to know the area's that you guys talk about.
