Im not saying their arent holes where theres just tons of mules but while everyone around us was catching 12&13" trout, we were pulling in 18-22" trout. right in the surf by caminada pass behind bridgeside. you can use cork too. but the way they hit it is: your cork will slam under(you'll set the hook but wont have nothing), that is the trout stunning the croaker, then it comes back to eat it and you'll catch him on the second hit. I had a 5.5lber on and lost him right when he got to me. I know because I gave a guy the rest of my croakers while I went to go get lunch and when we got back he told me "Man I caught the biggest trout of my life on them croakers, 5.5 pounds right here where you was fishing

Only thing about doing a late spring / summer tourney there would be that we probably won't be able to get one of the major marinas for a weigh in site as they have tourneys pretty much every weekend .
But i'm sure i can find us someplace .
that time of year will be great for , yakkers , boaters and waders.
If we get serious about doing a grand isle bungle i will be happy to help w/ contacts and sites and anything else needed.

if it was in gi we could do the weigh in at chris morans or steve tomeny's spot in fourchon just down the road i know they would love the business

True, no arguments with that, but I know where to catch fish in grand isle. I've been going to grand isle since before my memory can even recall so, even in crappy conditions I could at least still get on a few fish and not be a total waste. But with the weather the way it has been, and the locals still not hammering them yet, and me never fishing there. To me thats just throwing my money away and wasting my time. Even if it had been in GI this weekend, I wouldn't have gone. The conditions just aren't quite up to my likings yet. When they get there I'll fish a good bit, but I like to catch fish(who doesnt) and to me until the bite is pretty steady, I can find other hobbies to mess around with.

No matter what the conditions or where if I can give a few dollars to a great cause and hang out with an awesome group of people who cares if I didn't catch a trout(which I didn't) Had a blast can't wait till the next one.

I didn't think about staying at Chris's, I know him pretty well too, went to school, worked & shot bows with him. He can hook us on a place to stay.

A Lake Pontchartrain site could also include Hopedale/Shell Beach and Delacroix.

Fishmaster · #78 03-15-2010, 08:30 PM

Fishmaster · #79 03-15-2010, 09:07 PM
