Bayou B slow days

[By-Catch]

Made a couple of trips down to Bayou Bienview this weekend. Friday the Trout were off but redifish were biting good. Caught a lot of rats and finally found 3 good slot reds. The trout in the pic is 12". would have been a good tournament stringer. Today was really strange caught trout on every cast but mostly under sized. Moved into the marsh and landed 9 bass. Caught my first ever double redfish/bass on double rigged beetles. Was cked by the LDWF on the way in. Found out that any boat under 16' that wearing life jackets are required when the motor is running.
They were really nice and only gave me a warning for not having mine on but had it in the boat draped on the drivers seat.
