Rutherford Specks
I owned a camp there given to me by my Grandfather, sold it in 2004. Anyway, grew up fishing there and I have never caught bigger specks anywhere than in the surf at Rutherford. I never caught a lot, usually 2-4 was a good day. But 7 pounders were common. The conditions are ideal anytime the surf is not rough. Remember, specks love muddy water. Live mullet under a popping cork in knee deep water was the ticket. A neighbor there from New Iberia used to catch a lot more than me, but usually smaller fish, they fished artificials mostly. July-September is the best time, I never did much good once it cooled off.
