My buddy went the same day tithe trestles and picked up 18 keepers and a flounder.

I too need to learn the ways of jiggling. I mainly only use popping corks, so if I want to fish the deep water for trout then what better way.

I am thinking about hitting the trestles on Monday and maybe even do a little trolling to help find the good spots. Anyone thinking about going on Monday? Hit me up if you are, maybe we can tag team this and find where the big girls are hiding out.

I had received a tip the other day about big trout being caught on the North End of the Trestles so figured that might be where I start.

Any words of wisdom from guys who have trolled before?

thanks

Irish bayou launch is still open, just pass the BP station.

I can't go Monday but I'm not sure how good it's going to be with the weather we've just had.

I still say launch at Chef Harbor Marina.

When I looked for chef marina on the map it took me to the I-10 intersection where six flags use to be. Do you have an address you can send?

That is what I am hoping for. Big, big trout and plenty of them... I am hoping the fishing gods are looking out for me and everyone else out there tomorrow.

Well, I gave it a good shot and I should have listened to you guys... We fished a few rock jetties, and the trestles with only one small trout tagged and released, we used live shrimp and Gulp.

Headed back up Irish Bayou and it was a good call on our behalf as we landed 5 nice bass, I would guess the largest one went 3lbs, and the smallest about a pound and half. All on buzz baits except for the first one which we were trying for trout and I had a she dog on. Talking about a surprise... Fishing for trout and a large mouth slams my she dog.
