Grand Isle slam.
What a day... I could not sleep so I decided to leave the house at 0300 and had the boat in the water by 0400. I eased out the bayou and hit the bay heading for the beach. I decided to stop and try out one of the camps in route and what a decision that turned out to be... It was about 0500 when I stopped and no wind slick calm... I turned the motor off and what I heard I could not believe my ears. You know the sound the big trout make when they're sucking shrimp off the top of the water? Yeap... I could hear them all around me, but it was dark and could not see. First cast... 20" trout, every cast after that I was hooked up. Lost some very nice trout at the boat. Had my limit before 0630 and before the first boat ever arrived.
I ended the day with my limit... And tagged just as many. While cleaning the trout every fish had a shrimp inside it that would have weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 or 30 per pound. Sent from my LG-V495 using Tapatalk

I was using my grandpa's rig and as usual it worked very well... I noticed that everyone else was throwing live shrimp or croackers on a Carolina rig. I believe that was the issue, as I rarely use live anything.

[QUOTE=Visco;795898]I can understand that... the bite started to slow down about the time all the boats started to show up. I was pulling in fish every cast, and a couple of older guys pulled up in a Blazer Bay, I told the guys that i would move out the way hoping they would continue to catch... nothing, they hung out for about an hour and they only caught about 5 fish.

Back in the day before mirror lures came out with she dogs, we used one of their top water plugs. This method has been used for at least 7 decades in my family. We do not use popping corks at all. Sent from my LG-V495 using Tapatalk Last edited by Visco; 05-23-2016 at 06:05 PM.

I didn't fish on the beach long. Visibility was only about 4". I never throw live bait on the beach unless I am in my boat. It's too much of a hassle.
