6/29 delacroix

[outcast]

Last week, I got a private message on another message board I frequent; microskiff.com. A guy ,Russ from Tampa, Florida was gonn be in town for business and was looking to go fishing. I happened to have a day available and we made plans to meet up on wedneday June 29th. I love taking people out and letting them experience the great fishery we have here in Louisiana. this was his first fishing trip to Louisiana and I was a little nervous about taking him out and putting him on fish. We left Sweetwater marina at daylight in search of some beautiful bronze pond pumpkins! He wasnt on the platform for five minutes at our first stop, when he spotted his first fish cruising towards him. he made a perfect cast with a gold spoon and his first Louisiana redfish was on the line! he landed a 26 1/2" 8.5 lb beauty, we saw over 25 fish that day and landed 12 big fat redfish. He was amazed at the quality and quantity of fish we have here. I poled up an a small school of 6 fish where we ended up hooking up a double! overall it was a great day sightfishing in the Delacroix marsh, and he cant wait to get back down here!
