Default Beautiful weather

Friday we got to the camp a little after 5 pm. got set up, ate a little boilled shrimp for supper and loaded the boat with generator and lights to do a little night fishing. Right after sunset we idled down the canal towards bayou Lafouche and as we get in the bayou I push the throtle and it is kind of hard and no go. so we idle back to the dock and I had to cut it off because i couldn't get it back in neutral. worked on it Saturday morning for a couple of hours and the bottom carb’s butter fly was stuck and is still stuck. Couldn’t get it unstuck so I pulled it and will drop it off at the shop.



We got to borrow a buddy's boat and ended up fishing Saturday late morning and Sunday. Hooked a few redfish by the Leeville bridge on ramp. Wind picked up some and the lakes were a little rough and dirty. tried some in Bayou La Loutre with not much to show for it.



Sunday the weather was a 10 and the water was a 3. Caught one speck at the rocks in little lake. Then we went to an island in Raccourci. Captain Bob Gourgues was there when we got there, probably around 9 or 9:30. We asked how he was doing and he said he had 18 big trout. We fished for a couple of hours and watched him catch another 8-10. We caught 6 or 7 but only 4 keepers. moved around and never found any clean water.



Saw thousands of ducks in the northern reaches of Raccourci. we didnt catch a lot of fish but had the wife and two of our boys and a friend with us and had a grand time on a splendid day.
