Agreed and a total shame! Born and raised in Iberia parish, I fished Weeks Bay, Vermilion Bay, Dry Reef and reefs outside the Pass as a youngster and never remember fishing sucking as bad as the last several years! I have lived in Lafayette now for almost 50 years and my go too spot is now Big Lake. A long drive and 12 hour day! Today, left home at 4:45 am and returned at 4:15 pm with a total of 5 specs! Talked to 1/2 dozen fishermen at Calcaseiu Landing and we had best catch! Ten days ago went to BL, caught 75 specs by River Pilots Station and kept a total of 16! A whopping 3 1/2 lbs has of filets! Discouraging!! Hard to believe but fishing is becoming more frustrating than golf!��
