prien lake fail

[Keywest18]

Well I woke up this morning about 345 hopin to fish some lights for a little while. Well I walked outside and seen lightning off in the distance. Checked the weather and it said clear after 11am. So I went back to bed. Woke up at 645 and the sky looked good. So jumped in the truck and headed to prien to explore. First place I ran to was the bank by L'auberge. Threw white gulp shrimp under a poppin cork. Also threw chart swim Mullet and some deadly Dudley jrs amd jerk jrs.lady fish were everywhere and THICK. I counted.five bites just off one cast with a swim Mullet. Switched banks amd fished the rocks, I was once again greeted with ladyfish. I got.tired of that quick so it was time for a move. Ran to the bayou on the right when you enter the L'auberge bank. I fished the bank and picked up some lady fish so moved to the middle of.the bayou to find deeper water and still no luck. Made a run to prien and fished the west bank. No luck. Tried free lining a Mullet out the back and picked up several gaftop. Thought I had some solid.trout. Ran farther south just around the turn by the marsh. Fished.the grass beds and once again nothing. Then after deciding to move I go in the first right by the marsh not the SECOMD and I am greeted by 6" of water and mud. 5 minutes of paddling later I was free. Ran back by 210n bridge, fished by the barges and the island.thought I hooked another gaftop but I managed to sling a 21" flounder. I was dissappointed I didnt find any reds or specks. But all in all I got a good tan and finally got to make it out on the water after a month of my boat collecting dust

I had a rough morning as well on Prien, throwing similar baits. Worked the marshy bend at the south end of Prien and Haymark area. Same places I picked up good fish yesterday, no bites. Did better at LDL beach area. Ended up with 7 specks with 2 people fishing. looked at the tide and it was stagnant most of morning.

Im pretty sure the marshy area youre talking about is where I got stuck at lol. Whats the LDL beach area?

[SpeckWrangler]

beach at lauberge

[Keywest18]

Thats what I thought. I didnt fish the beach, I fished just a little past the marker, there were people right past the beach fishing those wood pilings. So I wanted to keep my distance

Last few trips I've taken to Prien have been full of ladyfish and gafftops, with a few specs and reds

this time of year is hit and miss in prein. starting next month after the first couple of cool front the lady fish disappear and the trout start to get thick. hopefully the salinity levels come up some more if they do it should be on until november

Yea I wasnt expecting to catch alot but I was really hoping for more than what I ended up with. Im probably gonna wait to go back till it cools off.
