Girls Day Out 2-1-14

[ImpulseFishing]

This morning was no different than any other morning. My customers on time, boat in tip top shape; armed and ready to pierce the waters of lower Terrebone parish. Actually, it was very different. Entertaining clients is the name of the game in this business and boy did I have my hands full. Friday night an entourage of 12 ladies pulled up to my camp with mountains of food, beverages and gear, excited for their day of fishing and bachelorette weekend to follow. Estrogen overload. And so it began. Two boats, two captains, and 8 survivors of the night pushed onward toward bountiful waters. I had to make a choice. Go to waters that held fish the day before or see if the last place I caught fish had any life. I chose wrong. We arrived on the scene of filthy water and a mass of boats piled up on the hot spot. A rough start indeed. I quickly abandoned the area and bounced over to the Bayou Saveur area where we found the reds willing and waiting! With 4 girls on board, the decision was made to keep it simple. Out comes the bait shrimp and corks! Lol. First cast the cork goes down and the fun began! The girls put a genuine whipping on the reds and drum in no time at all! Most of them had never caught a fish before so you can imagine the thrills they got from fighting these fish one after another! The trip was a complete success and they are already planning another trip. Thanks to Capt. Rhyan Leblanc for running the second boat

February is a great month for reds and I have plenty days open!

Great job and a great report. Glad the day turned around for you and the girls were happy. I cant imagine a worse scenario than a boatload of unhappy ladies.lol. Good fishing and Godspeed Capt.

Great to see the black drum on the dock. Those size are just as good as redfish, and if you throw all the drum back, they grow up to devour oyster reefs and compete with the redfish.

Growing up in Louisiana, I always thought of cleaning fish as a chore.

Living in various states at different points in my adult life (OH, MI, NC, CO, NY), we experienced a lot of fishing with few or no fish to clean, because the fishing just isn't as good as in Louisiana.

Now, I never complain about the work involved in moving Louisiana's blessings from the ice chest to the freezer or plate. Living most of your life returning home with empty (or nearly empty) ice chests gives a better sense of gratitude.

That's quick work with a electric knife on reds that size. Good work captain!

I know who to call next time I catch a bunch of reds...

For cleaning reds 20" and over I use a 7" Dexter Russell Tiger Edge Slicer. That's one bad *** knife. I use it on every offshore fish we catch as well. For smaller reds, I use a 7" Dexter Russell Narrow Edge Filet knife. I don't even mess with the bones, just cut around them. It's pretty easy to get the hang of. I don't know what Mathgeek charges for fish cleaning but I'll clean reds all day long for .35 cents a pound!

This is what I learned from:
