10-3-16 trout and redfish limits.

[MEM1971]

Caught my pogies just before sunrise and pointed the baystealth towards turners. I made it just pass the ICW locks and almost as soon as the depthfinder went from 14 feet to 3 feet of water I noiticed fish blowing up all over so killed engine lowered trolling motor made a cast and as soon as it hit water 13" trout hit it and I pushed button to lower Talens power pole. Not quite an hour later I made a fish count and had my trout limit right there. Then the birds started working right beside me. Pretty cool to be there early enough to beat the birds to the fish, lol! I was hoping for better fish but if they were going to make it that easy I was there for the taking. I had been dropped off cause ole lady needed truck so I made a quick call to her and realized she hadn't even made it to her spot yet so cranked Yamaha back up and headed for Turners to find Reds. Rounded the corner and birds were working everywhere but had almost as many boats under them. Guides, flat bottoms, average joes all trying to get to the schools. Was so glad I already had mine then so made a few quick cast on the reef I fish and nothing tide too hard always muddies that reef so eased back to the point behind it and nothing after 7-8 cast and boats running all over so went right back to where I was and within 15 minutes had another 3 reds finishing then off. Soon as I picked everything up phone rings and ole lady ask if I'm ready. Perfect timing. I was prepared to be out til noon but she is done and I'm literally close enough to launch I could troll there so called it. Back home with clean boat by 10am. Got me a nap now gotta clean em. Its the shrimp coming out of marsh that has them shallow along with cool weather. Fall patterns are here guys. Chilly ride to end of LNG to catch bait this am.

What was weird there was only 3-4 truck&trailers in parking lot @ the point so most came from other areas. Also just to add live bait was not needed after I put 6-7 in box as fast as I could get back out there I grabbed the pole with little john on and caught 4-5 real quick then picked up the other pole with soft dine and caught a few on it too. As I was waiting for my ride to hook trailer back up the school made its way just off the bank at calcasieu point birds were working over them. Next up for me is a trip north to try and catch some stripe bass mixed in with reds and specks. I have never caught stripes here but never really tried.

Most of those boats are guides coming from Hebert's and Spicers.

I was one of the first out on Monday morning, could have sworn it was a weekend with all the boats and *******s trolling between boats.

Nice catch MEM

From work I have a pretty good day long view of Turners area. I don't know if there was 60 boats, but I definitely counted at least a dozen out in that area just after sunrise Monday.

Great Report on a Great morning! I'll be back in LA in November....save a few for me.
I should be just in time to catch the flounder run and I like fishing reds n specs later in the year. added benefit that a lot of folks winterize their rigs and stay out the cold. I have to "winterize" my boat from February to October then fish the winter

[MEM1971]

Great time of year for sure! Take advantage of early morning hours while many are in their blinds.
