![]() ![]() ![]() and No...I will say 65% of guides could not bag a 100 trout daily...it may be higher... Plenty of days at Hebert I saw boats come in with only 50 or 75 trout.....and your buddys guide service was one of them....... Select few will go out and boat 100 fish a day on the lake...and yes there are days when everyone can catch a 100 but less than not.... and if you took live shrimp fishing out of the subject....trout would blossom to record numbers

And trout 5lbs and over would decline in record numbers! Or that is my theory/opinion. |

![]() but again......you have to know how to fish and what areas to fish and where to fish at times of the year. I limit out 85% of the times i fish......last year I keep in my boat 3,045 trout. I tagged and released over 200 along with Chris who tagged about 200 of his tags Most of the time when I keep fish it goes to who is with me I fished 110 days in 2010 with adv trip of 27.2 trout per trip... ( I fish with 3 guys about 40% of the time) This does not count all trout let go or undersize just what went in the box for the day. My data book goes back to 2002 when i started keeping a log,,,,,,, biggest year I had was 2006 after Rita...which I believe I keep around 3900 trout My least year was 2005 867 but we had Rita and I was in a car accident which keep me off the water half a year.... Now from 2001 to 2005 I did not work 7 n 7 I worked 5-3 and 4-3 for all these years.......which meant lot less time on the water..but I could keep a bigger limit I also show over and over that trout come back to the same spots at the same time of the year over and over...But It also shows that the numbers in those areas have declined in some and increased in others... Once my data book is over 20 years old...Im going to get with someone and It might be Jody with LSU and let him use the data for his benefit. I keep all details like tide, moon, wind, salinity, water temp, and locations

Nice bunch of data. Prolly make an interesting read. I don't catch near as many trout as that but I don't try either. I love the top water bite so much that I pass over fish that I know I could catch on plastics. If I catch 5-10 fish on topwater in a day, I am perfectly happy. If I want a pile of fish to eat, I go catch my flounder. Fella drifted near me one day catching fish on every cast on live shrimp. He yelled at me to put da shrimp on. I said I didn't have any but was content with walking the dog. LOL, he shook his head like I was some kinda fool for goin into the lake with no shrimp. |

From what I saw it was about 40-50 trout with 4 guys in a boat There is 2 guides I know who come in daily with a limit of trout..and one has a 30 fish guarantee or you dont pay....(30fish is Reds and Trout) I know this year I smoked several guide boats and they fished till 2pm and I was done at 9am...but they have done the same to me also....(I also dont have people to call me and let me know where the fish are) But if you take a week of fishing by each guide you will find the higher number is none limits

Just gonna throw it out there, but I would imagine the '2 Cool Fishing' crowd is probably getting a kick out of reading the stuff that is debated over here also

I rather go with buddy's and split the gas...... My wife wants me to get it and i could make $1500-$2000 a week on my days off....But then i would be like some of the other guides who make a living and hate to fish... I feel for the guys who spend all year on the water....Its a damn hard job to keep fishing coming day in and day out and still enjoy it.... By hunting season those boys are ready to leave that boat behind..... I just dont want to get that away...

the problem isn't if they don't catch their limit, it's the laws that they push to protect "their" fisheries and "their" lake , they don't care about anything except their livelihoods and whatever they can do to prevent other people from catching "their" fish.....I have seen this first hand in 2 states that I've lived in and they succeeded in imposing ridiculous limits..it's only a matter of time before it happens here in La. , so be careful when you advocate for something that restricts other people's god givin rights, it just might come back to bite you in the butt. |
