Launched out of Campo's late about 7:30 and headed down MRGO into the marsh. Had a good falling tide just as predicted. Got to my favorite spot only to find 6 other boats there all with hookups. Had to settle for a place well within a bayou but could only peck away at trout.Moved to another runout about 9:00 and trout were slamming everything thown under a cork.
The tide bottomed out about 12:30 and moved several times . Stopped and tried a hole on the way in and started slamming nice founder. Was back at the launch by 2:30 to catch the game and head home.
Talley: 47 nice trout- 2 reds(15+ rats released)- 1 drum- 2 "goatheads"-
22-flounder (caught in 45- minutes) with squid- a bunch of
breakoffs(big drum?)
Baits: 100 live shrimp- plastics -reactions LSU chubs- Hybrids flurries-H H
spit tail sparkle beetle- Left over squid from an off shore trip

Good trip-will try to post a pic of a "trophy" east trout caught on a 3" flurry- as big as it was!!!
