Tuesday morning the wind was blowing 18 mph in Caillou Bay and with the waves near white capping, I offered the Moulerie gang an option to press on or turn around. This was their 2nd day of trout fishing and they were hardheaded. LOL. They decided they would take the beating in hopes of destroying some speckled trout. I was quite confident we wouldn't catch jack. We arrived to the location at daybreak to find difficulty setting anchor, but surprisingly the water clarity was fishable despite the pummeling southwest wind. We were armed with only plastic double and single rigged baits. The first cast produced a hefty speckled trout and I was confused. Yeah right, is that really a trout? Nah, can't be! Indeed it was. And indeed were the 24 fish that followed in the wee hours of daylight. Then the dreaded switch turned off and the bite ceased. The gulf had calmed gently enough to raise anchor and change zipcodes. Moments later after a brief boat ride to the east, we ran across a patch of emerald green water. The sun was out and the improving conditions had me convinced this was would be the money spot. Minutes later my suspicions were proven to be correct. Some logs started to clear the gunwales cast after cast. The bite was insane and when the smoke cleared 100 trout were in a slurry of ice and seawater! Reece Moulerie only thought the day before was his best trout trip ever. This day had changed his mind rather quickly! Big thanks to Jason Moulerie for the trip! I know Reece will be talking to all of his friends about this one! Another thanks to Capt. Tommy Pellegrin for setting up the trip!
