BL 11/6/11 Flounder trip

[ckinchen]

What a great weekend, duck hunting Saturday morning with my oldest son (he was not able to kill anything but that was about his shooting skills), one of the best wins in LSU history on Saturday night and then a quick flounder trip with my wife and boys Sunday morning.

We hit the channel just before daylight and ran down to spot A which already had three guide boats on it and double digit wade fishermen. After a few minutes off to spot B which is an incoming tide spot, tide was going out, 5 minutes later off to spot C. Spot C is a little pocket with enough room for one boat, there were two boats already there. Finally spot D paid off for us. We left the water before 10:00 to get back to the camp and clean the fish and the boat so we could watch the Saints game (which was a Saints win by the way), great weekend.

We were also checked by WLF today, I must say they were very professional and friendly.

Sounds like the whole family had a good weekend. Congrats!

I'll be back from Shreveport and off Friday.

ckinchen, is this the time of year that flouder spawn or just when they come in from offshore or something? We went Saturday to BL and after our limit of trout ran down the ship channel. I have never seen so many boats and waders before.

Heading out into the gulf to spawn.

Like Paul said they are on their annual run, it should all be over around Thanksgiving. Most of the boat traffic is south of big lake on the channel. There are several great spots right now but basically find a pocket or cut in the marsh or maybe a shell bank and bring some gulp with you and a 1/4 jig head and you should be in good shape. I fish for trout most of the year but I love eating flounder so even though this is the best trout bite of the year I focus on flounder for the annual run to try and fill the freezer. Of course when I have time (which is rare, most of my trips are short so I can get back to a computer for my job) I make a trout run once we have our flounder.

Could I Plwasw asking a favor. Could U hook a bro up.

I'm sure you were close to the old west side boat landing in Cameron. Or just north of the pogy plant on the west side. I know those places. Also the little cut with the jars under the road as It turns west to Holley beach.

They are out going tide spots. I don't have a incoming tide spot. I'm taking my boss, the safety director 4 a large oil company in Houston Friday.

I'll put in @ Dugas's. Not sure If the north wind will keep the water down, but it's calling of SE winds by Friday again.

I was also thinking the cuts to the west in Oyster bayou.

I caught a few @ the rocks along the channel next to Pilot camps on money island. Then the end of the rocks 100 yds north of the boat landing where the channel widens. all last week. The winds was blowing 25 last wed. before the front came in. Did catch 10 nice trout under a few birds going back to the landing in Joes cove?


Thanks
