Bout 6 buddies and myself went surf fishing again around Johnson Bayou again yesterday morning. As soon as I got out the truck i hooked a nice trout on top. For about an hour or so we were hammering the fish. I was getting a blow up on every cast. Then a huge school of jacks come in and smoke our topwaters. One of my buddies got spooled twice. Myself and another buddy landed ours, i wish i could have cut him off but it was only skitterwalk i had in that color so i had to fight him for 20 minutes. they were monsters. Then 3 of us each caught a bull red going around 20 lbs. after that the wind shifted out the south and the bite came to a halt. caught majority of fish before 8am. bounced around picking up one or two trout here and there. then decided to head back to lafayette around 11:00am. ended with about 50 trout, 3 bull reds, 2 jack crevelles, and about 10 spanish mackerels. not too bad. released 1 bull red, and jacks and mackerel. my buddy had some democrats that wanted the other 2 bull reds so he kept them. here are pics of one group of trout. we didnt clean them together. and a pic of my buddies' bull reds.
