Lots of redfish being caught in the Pen right now. Fish the east side from the middle heading north. Black/chartreuse on the bottom and gulp under a cork.

Trout are slowly making their way in, but they are spread out all over. Little Lake, Bay Cray, Lake Laurier... Just look for the white shrimp popping. There have been a few birds working on the east side, but 1 in 10 trout are keepers. Lately, 30-40 has been a good day.

Winter time is your friend in lafitte. The river is usually low and the trout and reds move into that area.

Heading to lafitte in the morning and goin to try to find some fish to bring back home to my parents back in Georgia on Friday.

Reds still in the Pen?

Does anyone have any coordinates for the obstructions in the pen?

Yella, were you fishing around the mouth of bayou dupont this morning?

[SuperDave]

Anybody been lately? Seems like the thread died...

Been fishing for the past 3 days. It's been a mixed bag.

Some days, it's an easy limits of reds. Others, you have to work your butt off just to put a few in the box.

Specks have been spotty. You'd catch 70 one day and go back the next and only catch 30. They haven't 100% set up in their fall spots yet.

We need some cool weather to really kick things off.

Today was one of those easy redfish days. 50 trout to go along with 20 reds.

I believe me and my girlfriend rode past yall when I was pulling up to the ramp. I was in a sea foam green flats boat with a poling platform on the back.

I did ok, but didn't catch any where near 50 trout.

Fished with market bait under a cork, spinner bait with a marsh works mud minnow with a chart tail, and also carolina rigged some market shrimp.

My boat is hard to miss. You can see that bright yellow from a mile away.

We did best with plastics under a cork for both reds and trout. They were chasing schools of pogies. Anything that looked like a minnow got destroyed.

I'll be back out there again this weekend. If you see the boat, come stop in and say hello.

[SuperDave]

Yeah, my little boat is a kinda different but doesn't POP like that yella. Haha

If I go this weekend it will be Saturday.

[YellaBlazer]

I'll be out there all weekend.

Blast from the past!
