Finally boat trip 6-24-17

[MEM1971]

Woke up at 0500 hoping to see storms pushed out! Nope they were just about where future cast said they would be on news last night. Looked bad!! Wat to do wat to do? Waited for daylight just in case problems with boat trailer. Got to Calcasieu Point around 615-630 and was suprised at that others had decided to go too. I wanted to go to Cameron where I caught trout bank fishing and other spots I caught a lot last year but weather is right there. Take my time and go find some pogies. Tried to find mullet but high water must have them up in marsh. Go back to launch and thinking about waiting weather out. Decide to go up around the point and fish bank just west of canal that goes to Fred's. Redfish were on fire!!! Caught at least 20 keeping 4 right at 16-17" throwing back several over 20". 830 or so now and still wanting to go to Cameron but worried about weather. It look like it was just sitting there on top of Haymark terminal not moving. Decide to go have a look at turners. It's fresh and not very clean but can almost see trolling motor. First reef I stopped at caught a nice 2 1/2 3 pound trout thinking o yea it's on now. Well ended up catching more and more redfish. Redfish are stupid easy to catch right now and there is not a tide. Just as I decide To head down to Cameron I notice 2-3 birds picking. Don't care to fish birds anymore but was curious wat was under them. I get up there and tide is goin out pretty hard now and the trout are just busting the top of water all over the deepest spot out there in about 8 feet of water. Box 9 more trout and release 3-4 before bite played out and wind picked up bigtime. Went to north east corner to have a look and water is getting dirtier. Decide to fish a cut down there by the camps where we caught both reds and trout last year. No trout and caught and released several more reds. I can see it's white cappin pretty good out in lake so decide to call it and head back to launch leaving Cameron for another day. Pretty good day. Didn't buy any live shrimp and burnt less than 6 gallons of fuel.
