Saturday was TOUGH with no discernable tide movement and all the storms around. Sunday was HOT, but I fished through it. Boated 30-40 trout without a single solid keeper. A few just over 12 inches, but I won't keep them until 13. Reds, drum, and sheepies saved the trip and were plentiful on Sunday. All keepers from Bayou Cook/Bay Bastian. I fished Grand Bayou and the washouts between Cook and Grand with no real luck. My friends using live bait got some nice ones, but I was all artie for trout. Momma wanted trout, but that will have to wait until the next trip.
One thing I found strange was how many hardheads I caught on sparkle beetles. That never happened when I was a kid.
It was awesome to spend a couple nights out on Bayou Cook again.
