Default Part of the problem

Many of our issues start here.

This is (was) Grand Point Island in Barataria Bay. A few years ago, it was a big island that could fish 5-6 boat comfortably. Now, it's a small strip of submerged clam shells. We're losing a lot of premium trout habitat every year to erosion.

I was singing this tune 2 weeks ago when you couldn't buy a trout around the island. The water around the island was terrible. Dirty, no bait and definitely no trout.

This week has been a different story. I went Monday and found nice, pretty green water again. The bait came back and so did the trout. We caught 45, with 15-20 over 16". Of course, a ton of small trout which is typical for summertime in the bay.

I don't think it's just one or two things going on, but a laundry list of problems hitting us all at one time. Come October/November, you'll have trout everywhere again and you won't hear any of this no trout song until next spring..
