Default Vbay gafftops galore

Got on water. Had some engine issues. Missed a squall the got on water at 1230. Water was beautiful at both se reefs (prien and east 4 mile cut out of icy). 20-25 gafftops, lady fish. Shrimp busting everywhere. 1 16 inch trout till end of falling tide. Beautiful day, 12-18 vis in water. Trout should be coming soon. Didn?t have time to hit tee butte or dry reef.

Anyone else out. Dm me if you don?t feel like posting. Going again next Friday.

Yep, we were out there. The day started out pretty ominously with the thunderstorms around and most peeps were hanging around the landing staring at the radar on their phones. We decided to hit the Cove and wait for a bit to see what developed. Went across to Marsh Island shortly after that. Ended up with 3 reds on live bait and missed three others. Still a good day.

We were there also Friday, caught 8 legal specks and about the same amount of those under 12 inches. All were caught on north side of island. Fished several reefs on south side of island as we avoided storms and caught zero trout and loads of gafftops.

The gaftops are getting out of control! They are even catching them way up into the atchafalaya basin.

Guessing that is because of the high salinity present.
