Louisiana Marsh Fishing Report
Saturday, June 9, 2007
Had the pleasure of taking Randy and Mary Camp of Hattiesburg, MS along with their daughter Terri and son-in-law Jeremy on an outing to the Louisiana marsh. Started them off tossing popping corks rigged with soft-plastics like Salt Water Assassins, Cocahoes, and Mr. Twister Finshad under gulls working the surface. They had a blast catching speckled trout, white trout, and gafftopsail catfish on the sensitive St. Croix Triumph spinning rods, and although were a novice group they caught on quickly to the art of cork fishing. Also, they got to see the magnificent bird life including large numbers of gulls and pelicans nesting on the marsh isles, as well as dolphin, and a huge tripletail free swimming on the surface. We ended the day bottom fishing around Isle au Pitre where they able to catch a number of ground mullet. This group of fine people also got to experience the power and drama involved in being caught in an afternoon thunderstorm. Swirling black and purple clouds, lighting popping all around, 30 knots plus winds, and driving rain gave us a good example of Mother Nature’s fury. Bottom line, I got them home alive and well, but very wet, and they had a story to tell for a time to come. The easterly winds are finally starting to settle down, so book a trip now!
