Wednesday: Took forever to get from Lafayette to hackberry but finally had boat in the water at 10am Wednesday. Launched at spicers and headed north to have a look at water, which was muddy and fresh. Caught a couple small flounder and ran south. Afternoon tide was ripping out, found a couple of small trout and lots of rat reds on flats near channel south of spicers despite water situation, and lots of bait. Saw zero boats on the water and zero cars at spicers.

Thursday:Flats on channel side of long point had birds and bait, but lady fish and a couple of small white trout under them. Stayed there way too long and eventually hit south end of lake. Water looked better, but tide had quit. Finally found a couple small trout and one 27" red that my cheap scale said was 9#, on another little flat by the channel down south. Rains started and stayed steady rest of the day.

White Gulp swimming mullet caught most.
Lots of bait around despite water situation.
South end not as bad as I'd thought, just there at the wrong time I think.
Found a couple spots that held a couple fish when things aren't 100% blue sky perfect day, and got to go fishing so I count it as a win.
Figured it would be a tough trip but just gotta launch that sucker and go sometimes.
