A buddy and me fished out of BSM today and thanks to Glen, got on a good Redfish bite. It was a little windy and rough but the fish didn't seem to mind. We caught 30 Reds and a few Puppy drum for a good day on the water. We are really looking forward to the spring trout bite which should be just around the corner. It sure felt good to be on the water.

WINDY DAY, BUT STILL SOME TROUT ACTION!! Today, Eddie Murphy of Covington, brought along pals Bill and Dr. Bill. The water was low again this morning, but rising as we left the dock. Clarity was about a 4 on a scale of 10, due to the high winds the last two days. The water temp though, was about 59 degrees, a far cry from the last couple of weeks' 45 to low 50s.
  We started out in Lake Robin, and got on a pretty good trout bite for a while. While most of the trout were in the 12 to 14 inch range, a couple went around 2 pounds! The tide was goofy today, rising, than slack, falling a little, then slack, then rising again. The wind picked up around 8:30, and the guys decided to try for some Redfish. We were using HYBRID FLURRIES, and live "boogie" minnows under a cork. We had action most of the day, and the guys ended the day with 41 trout and 9 Reds. Not a bad day under less than ideal conditions. These guys are always fun to fish with, and booked 4 more trips in the next couple of months.

  Finally, with the water temps rising, the trout are turning on. The Reds are cooperating too! If you want to get in on some great early spring fishing action, call me at GET-AWAY CHARTERS, (985)630-2923 or (601)799-4280 and book your charter now!! Come and take advantage of my March special pricing. Come and see what it's like to be pampered by a truly PROFESSIONAL guide service.

  Come and fish with GET-AWAY CHARTERS, where nothing gets away!!!

Fishing Sunday
Short and late report from Delacroix my son Kevin and I launched out of Sweet Water about 10am. Headed down the pencil canal made a stop in Pointe Fieney where we had picked a few last weekend started drifting and casting the stop and go 2' under a cork. At first the wind wasn't that bad and we were going through a few throwbacks with the occasional keeper. Then slowly the wind started to pick up and the bite began to shut down eventually stopped made a couple moves around the area but nothing to show for our efforts. Decided to call it a day and head in around 1pm with our meager 12 trout still had a good time fishing with my Son Kevin. On the way in bouncing around had a problem with the motor trying to shut down must have a loose wire somewhere I hate wiring I guess I need to climb under the console and check it out.

Final Tally
12 keeper trout 14" the biggest
10 or 12 throwback trout
0 reds
0 flounder or flat fish
still better than watching fishing on TV which is what I did Saturday plus working around the yard.

Raised in the Irish Channel in New Orleans great people but some like to borrow a few things. We learned if you put your name on anything it never is removed. I keep my boat under the carport and found a good way to anchor it down and prevent theft is to remove the battery cables after you trim it down and raise the front of the trailer. You can also have a switch which disconnects the battery. Don't think a crook wants to work on a battery to trim the motor.

Windy! Tide at the lowest! So what!
Go where you know and catch fish.
Tim, his dad and boys wanted some big reds and sheepshead. No problem.
We caught the big ones we needed and finished the trip on young reds.
One of the boys had caught some young drum fish and asked a question.
How big do these get Capt Chad?
He soon found out when he hooked a 30 pounder. That was the highlight of his day. The big one, especially for a nine year old. No doubt they all agreed there is no fishing like Venice, La.

Thanks for the reply Merdocs! As for the toll bridge,
if nobody has replied yet, it's a video toll so it just
recordes your plates as you drive through. You can
pay online either before you go, or up to 4 days after
crossing the bridge. Just make sure you have the
license plate numbers handy, as you'll have to type
those in either online or at the kiosk. The site is
www.geauxpass.com  Hope this helps.

TWO STOP SHOP!!!!!! Had the pleasure of fishing today with Alex, Jonathan, Stephen, Les and Jeff. They came down last night for a fishing bachelor party. We got an early start this morning. The tide was low and rolling out. Figured the best shot was Breton Sound. The guys had very little experience. Capt Mark and I showed them how to set the hook and work the fish to the boat. We made 2 stops and limited out on big reds catching a total of 9 that we could keep. We also head a bunch of heads and puppy drum. Talk about a fun trip. The reds went crazy and the guys had a blast fighting the hard pulling fish. All the fish were caught on dead shrimp Carolina rigged on the bottom. The group had a great time. We are running the winter special through March. The fish are eating up just about as fast as you could get the bait in the water. Give us a call and get on the calendar. Spring and summer is right around the corner. I look for it to be a good year.

WINTER SPECIAL: 2 ANGLERS $450 3 ANGLERS $550 4 ANGLERS $650.00. THIS INCLUDES BAIT, GAS, ICE, FISHING EQUIPMENT, AND FISH CLEANING!!!!!!!! SPECIAL PRICING ON OVER NIGHTS WITH CHARTERS!!!!!!!!!.

            TEAM JO-JO

The signs started early, Loveofthepack had we set up , (Saturday night) to go to the Le Petite theater to see 13, turned out to be a real great performance by a young group  of talented yougins who can sing, dance and entertain you in a BIG way.

On the way home got to see a possum playing along the road.

After Big Jeff, (Big Brenda a no show) met me at 4:00 am @ Grand Champions in Slidell, (we threw all my gear into his 22 foot Sketter w/a 200, decked out with all the goodies) we saw not one, but two bunnies running along the road to Delacroix, now this was a real sign of how the day was going to go.

We where early, stopped in and talk to Big Lionel, and another fisherperson who was going out for a fun day on the water, it started to get daylight, we took off in Big Jeff’s Bay Boat, it growls at you when she jumps up out of the water.

Big Jeff & Big Brenda boat is a real nice looking and riding rig, takes the chop real well, enjoyed just being passenger, was able to sit back and let it all happen today.

CONDITIONS:

Perfect

Wind W.S.W. 2 – 3 mph, than 6 – 8 mph, than W. 10 – 18 mph steady

Sunny  /cool / warm, warmer

Tide falling all morning

Water clarity on scale of 1 – 7 was a 3 minus, best looking water in Bay Batola, and Point Fienne

Water temp 58 to start 61 when we left

TECHNIQUE:

Drift with wind, cast and retrieve w/corks, popping cork as we reeled in.

Found a little honey hole anchored up, (power pole nice)  and proceed to reel the Silverwonders at a real nice pace.

Action did not start till around 10:10 am, and it was over by 11:05, they started and stopped in the time frame.

Cast and retrieve tight line, Big Jeff caught a couple.

LURE FO THE DAY:

H&H 3” Chartreuse Glow Beetle with 1/4oz round H&H white head w/gold hook 2 to 2.5 feet under a cork.

Big Jeff caught (3) on a black something w/flat yellow tail, but he did not stay long on at that rig.

AREAS / SPOTS / NUMBERS ON THE MAP FISHED:

Spot # 17B (11)t, 16, 17 (1)t, 17 b (3)t, (16) Bingo (32)t, (1 flatthing Oh Oh!!!!), 17 (2)t, stopped fishing  around 11:40, headed on in.

Made a quick stop at spot # 5 so Big Jeff logs it in on his GPS, along with all the other Team Jo-Jo spots.

OUR REWARD:

• (49) Silverwonders (24) throw backs
• (3) redthings throw backs
• (1) Flatthing (Big Glenn B rule still holds true)
• (1/2) bushel of grass
• (2) Roast Beef sandwiches, and made by Big Jeff himself.
• Learned you can catch fish with a west wind, and where to fish them at.
• Met LW&F (2) of the finest, checked license  and life jackets, no problem here we don’t want to be on the Bad Boy Repot next Saturday fishing show.
• Great day on the water w/ fisherperson we met on rodnreel.com
• Would have been a much better if fisherperson Big Brenda was on board for the trip, know we would have had another 25 Silverwonders in the box if she was on our team today.
• Best Fishing Trip of my life, until the next one.

FISHERPERSON OF THE DAY:

Tough one, think it might have been a tie, but all ties goes to the CAPTAIN, so Big Jeff took the honors TODAY, only because Big Brenda not on trip.

SUGGESTIONS:

Get an early start, find them, catch them, clean them, eat them, but once you catch them, head on home, don’t waste the day trying to improve your catch, be happy with whatever you catch.

Loveofthepack going to craft show in Fairhope Ala this coming weekend, Daughterofthepack and Baby Burgan will be joining her, so it looks like Oneofthepack will have a whole weekend pass to chase those lovely Silverwonders down in our Disneyland known as Delacroix Island 7/24.

Hope to see all you fisherperson out and about, (it is staring to get good) check in with Big Lionel, ask him where Tubby fishes at, Big Lionel will put you right on them.

Good Fishing

In response to John Castelluccio, Jr.

John , 911 on a boat thief , did you see the movie Tooth Fiery , thats about as funny to me judging from my last 911 episode : I was leaving the French Quarters with my girl friend about 7 years ago right at dark and seen a pair of legs sticking out the grass on the shoulder of the road at the Elyians Fields on ramp to I 10  , I pulled over to see if the guy was alive possibly hit by a car and my girl friend was freakin' saying he was playing possum and going to jump up and get us , so I called 911 and drove on , well I learned that day that my phone was purchased in Jefferson Parish so the 911 call went to Jefferson , (I learned that  you need to have the Sheriff's number programmed into your cell phone for the parishes you travel ) ----   so to make a long story short , after about 45 minutes on the phone , and having told the story like 4 times to 4 different people and then being put on hold eating up my minutes and burning my brain with radio waves  I got tired and hung up , two days later at 12:30 at night my Dad who lived next door told me that he was with the NOPD and was knocking on my door wanting to talk about a 911 call I made , they never did talk to me about it  --------I was drinking coffee at a breakfest establishment that ain't dare no more and talking to some EMS guys about a year later and told them that story , small world cause he was the guy that picked up the body that had appeared to been laying there for a couple of days , I still don't know what happened to the guy

Nartic22, sorry for your loss ,you didn't mention but I hope you had good insurance , I hate to say it but I'd bet the motor is on the back of another boat and fishing this weekend,  the trailer is sporting a plate off a junked trailer under some other boat ,and the stripped hull is in the woods somewhere ------------ what is really wierd to me reading your discription of the guy that stole your boat is first that personally I have a Black 4 door Dodge 1500 , and I am white , 5'9" and 175 lbs . and I fit your discription short of the Mississippi connection , but that ain't the wierdest thing , I moved to Lacombe last April and around Febuary or March while still living in New Orleans my Dodge's alarm system went off and I jumped up and got to the window in time to see a guy that fits your discription to the tee get into a Black Dodge and drive off, it was a extended cab and not to offend or profile the guy looked to be a redneck , I have looked for that truck for almost a year now and never seen it again ,  I called NOPD at about 2am and they should up at 9:30 the next mourning , the door had been opened and you could see finger prints with your naked eye on the door and they never even took prints , my truck has an aftermarket alarm that replaced the OEM and I really think if not for that then it would have been gone  -----ask your neighbor if they found the truck's exhaust to be a little louder than normal as I could hear him a block down the road as he took off floored

Covington, LA USA

Good bite regardless of WIND and More WIND, Plus a rescue.. finished the day with 27 trout (13 to 21), 4 reds all slots 21 to 26) 6 flounder and an unexpected "blue river cat"
Launched for the first time out of Dock Side. (Great launch by the way Chas) for those that fish the bridges and run from bayou liberty to Borne.  Like the ease of parking on a saturday, regardless of the fact that many stayed home and out of the wind.
Hit a few canals with the trout spread out. Ran towards salt bayou and hear a HELP cry. Two teenages out in a flat boat lost power and were UP ON THE ROCKS in fromt of lakeshore..
One kid had only one leg and the other was not in the best of shape after drifting into the rocks with a dead out board and parking on the rocks... We pulled the flat boat inside of the lakeshore canal. pulled them to the lakeshore apratments, gave them the phone to call for a pick up as the lake was just too rough to drag the boat back. They made it out alive, but just have to wonder.....
back to fishing. Gulg 3 inch natural dragged slow on the bottom along with a 3/8n lead head did the trick, but the magic minnow hydrid with chatr. Dipped tail was what the flounder and redds wanted most.
sorry late night and pictures to follow when we put then on the table in the AM.
Saw Frank Daivis report and yes.... Today was tough.. But the fish are coming and a good mess can be caught. Just have to fish harder and out up with the wind....

Had a customer get stuck in the mud off of the Spoil Canal today.  Tide was REALLY LOW and the west wind was KICKIN...The Twin Vee was too big and our shallow flat was too small for the distance and island we had to pull them over;  So called Darryl and he and Hot Rod met me at the BSM with the Bay Ox and the pirogue.  It took a while, but we got them free and we were all on our way.  The Spoil canal was shallow and the wind was quite a challenge, but after the job we still had about an hour of daylight.  We took a trip and tried casting off of St. Milo, with no luck and then headed for home.

Skunked in the Pen. Launched at Gulf Outlet Marina in Chalmette at 6:15 this morning with my 2 boys and nephew. Fished the Pen then over to the hot water canal then tried by the locks ans NADA! Stopped again in the Pen again on the way back in hoping to slavage the day but nope. We were using plastics tipped with shrimp and also shrimp on a jig. Wind was really howling and water was filthy. It was nice to finally get to run the boat though. Will try Delacroix in a couple of weeks.

Just as Oneofthepack returned home from dinner with Loveofthepack, Daughterofthepack, Baby Burgan, twins Ronin and William, along with Big Alice from Pittsburg, my cell goes off, did not hear it but notice latter Oneofthepack had a message.

I was beginning to think I was going to have to go it alone in the AM, but when I returned the call, met Big Jerry for the first time.

Going fishing says he, says I sure am, meet me at the Waffle House in Chalmette for 5:00 am says I, no make that 5:30 am and we will head won to our Disney World.

Now Oneofthepack nervous. Like I was going on a blind date, did not know what to expect, but after a short conversation with Big Jerry I knew I was in good company, with someone who loves fishing as much as I do.

We transferred all the gear into the FORD transporter, and headed straight to the boat slip, loaded up the Bay Flat Sr, on to Big Lionel’s for some go juice, ice, and goodies to eat.

As usual went in to say high to all, Big Lionel calls me over and gives the word, GO HERE, and go we did.

CONDITIONS:

Perfect

W.N.W.  Wind 8 – 10, than 15 to 20 steady she blows

Sunny & cool

Tide falling hard, think someone pulled the plug out on a salt dome and it was draining the march.
Water clarity on a scale of 1 – 7 was a 2 minus, looked good for the first 45 minutes than the wind picked up.

Water Temp started at 56 than on to 59 deg

TECHNIQUE:

Run up wind to lee side of land,  turn around, let the wind push the boat, throw the corks out front 2 to 2.5 feet deep with H&H 3” Glow Beetle w/ H&H  ¼ oz round white head w/gold hook, do a little popping and hold on.

Oneofthepack tried “THE OAK RIVER TROLL” but the wind had us going 2.1 mph, the beetle was skiing on top of the water.

LURE OF THE DAY:

H&H chartreuse Glow Beetle with H&H ¼ round white head w/gold hook.

AREAS / SPOTS / NUMBERS ON THE MAP FISHED:

Bay Batola (7)t, #18, 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D, Point Fienne (1)t, # 2A, 2 D, shallow Little Crevasse, Oak River & North/ south pipeline, Point Fienne, Bay Batola, # 1, stopped fishing round 10:15 am, and headed in.

OUR REWARD:

• Beautiful sun riser
• Cool fresh air running through my bod
• (8) Silverwonders (1) throw back
• (1) Bottom
• (1) bushel of grass
• (1) Broken Pole (brand new) Oneofthepack stepped on it
• Face wind burn, looks like I had a sun tan
• Met new fisherfriend Big Jerry
• Learn a few more spots to fish a west wind
• Big Jerry did not hook ME
• Best fishing trip of my life, until tomorrow

FISHERPERSON OF THE DAY:

Thing Big Jerry to the honors today, he MIGHT have edged Oneofthepack out by one Silverwonders.

SUGGESTIONS:

Get an early start to catch the wind slack and fish the clean water until the wind picks up, don’t try to make it happen, catch what you can, return home early to play with  the baby’s Mama, and take care of all the honey dues she ahs for you to do. Negotiate a fishing pass for next weekend; feel this will be the weekend for the Silverwonders to really TURN ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big Jerry and Oneofthepack must have caught 1,000 boxes of Silverwonders, we just keep telling fishing tails of trips gone by.

Each story got better, and better as Big Jerry and Oneofthepack relived every trout slam we ever had, and with detail as to the who, what, when, where, why, how of it all.

Big Jerry indicate he even started to keep a diary of his catch, last year he and his team was over 1,300 fishes, that is a sign of a true fisherperson, and not a fair weather outdoorsmen.

Looking forward to our next trip down the road.

Big Jerry signed up another trip for Sunday, as for Oneofthepack, I will be with Big Jeff, and Big Brenda chasseing the Silverwonders down at our Fantasy Island known as Delacroix Island.

See all you fisherperson out and bout, until than:

Good Fishing

Dear Mr. Rossignol,



Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about the National Ocean and Great Lakes Policy report recently released by the Ocean Policy Task Force.  I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue, and I share your concerns about this report.



As you know, President Obama created the Ocean Policy Task Force to develop a national policy for conserving and managing resources in U.S. marine waters and the Great Lakes.  In the released interim report, no mention was made of the importance and contributions of sport fishermen to both marine conservation and economic activity in coastal communities.  This omission has led to fears that decisions made using the proposed policy could lead to closure of some marine and Great Lakes waters to recreational fishing.



Like you, I am astonished that the Ocean Policy Task Force did not take into account the valuable contributions of recreational fishermen.  Recreational fishermen provide most of the funding for fisheries conservation through license fees and excise taxes paid on recreational fishing equipment.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has also determined that recreational saltwater anglers contribute $82 billion annually to the economy, and their economic importance is magnified in coastal communities.  As a member of the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, which has jurisdiction over this issue, I will fight to ensure that the contributions of recreational anglers to marine conservation are acknowledged in the final policy report, and I will vigorously oppose any efforts to close areas of our oceans or the Great Lakes to recreational fishing.



Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue.  Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about any other issue important to you.



Sincerely,

Senator David Vitter
United States Senator

I caught these crappie (sac-a-lait) in Barataria, LA in mid February, the day it rained and sleeted. I caught the crappie on just about anything I threw at them-red and green mini jig, blue and white mini jig, purple and black, and also caught baby crawfish in the ditch and used them under a cork also.

          TEAM JO-JO

Another Friday night and I ain’t got nobody, to go fishing with tomorrow, I got my pass cause Loveofthepack is running in the AM ,  oh how I wish I had someone  to fish with tomorrow.

Started with First Mate Big Glenn B, say I, 10 – 20 mph North West winds what do you think, what you think says he, think I will live to fish another day says he.

Plus Big Glenn B had other commitments to deal with; I think he just said that to let me down easy.

Moved on to a sure thing , Second Mate Big Pablo, same tune I sing, says he I work tomorrow, now I really know the signs are looking real bad at this time.

Oneofthepack was going to move on to our Third Mate, (cause everybody knows 3 times is a charm) but decided not to make the call to Big Bud, rejection is real hard for me to accept.

This affectation started many fish years ago at the first dance I ever attended  at the Durichest house / hall on Franklin Ave, and I was rejected by Mary Lou, when I asked her to dance, but that is another story.

So I will end this tail, with the creed of TEAM JO-JO,  “YOU GOT TO GO TO KNOW” so know tht Oneofthepack will be on the water in the AM, either at “THE PEN”, or our Disney World known as Delacroix Island.

Big Bud (aka Eastofmrgo) if you want to brave the conditions in the AM call me.

Big Jeff and Big Brenda, looking forward to our journey Sunday morning.

Just one thing, when we set 5:00 am to meet at the gate of Grand Champions, that will be 5:00 today’s time, NOT DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!!!!!!!!

Any questions comments / concerns, and / or conflicts, please call me 504-915-4896 to address same.

Guess we will see all you true fisherpersons out and about, and all you fair weather ones in and done, until then:

Good Fishing

EVERYBODY take a CHILL PILL...

I can assure you that as soon as the trout bite resumes and these winds die down a bit, all the political B/S will fall to the wayside.

This is simply a product of the 'pre' season where everyones itchy and no one can get a good break...

I'll bet in LESS than 2 weeks time, we'll be reading about TROUT trout and more trout being caught, and that moron who has hijacked our whitehouse will be no more than a blirp on the news to us fisherpersons.

LET"S FISH. and POST some REPORTs y'all...

Hey Gary,

Fishette's NOT my WIFE...She be da ho' I fish wid....

You can't PAY my wife to get on a boat that might contain a fish! She gets back at me though.. Whilst I'm on the water, she'll max out the credit cards!

I don't care, I'm STILL FISHING!


Fishette is our very bestest friend anywhere, and one of the very BEST fisherpersons around. She's serious about fishing I'll give her that, and always willing to learn, even IF it's learning how to get stuck in da mud with me.

Mike Lane where are you!!       Thought the title or this forum was fishing reports!!! The political comments, as far as I am concerned, are all crap if they appear 0n this forum. Which ever side of the fence they are on. Especially when they mention peoples names whom they haven't talked too.Or mention someones name as if they Know " their kind". Excited about the trout showing up though!!!

From Mike Lane:

Is this a fishing report? This happens every year, PeeWee you are right. Brett chill out!

With the government trying to take over and end  our sport fishing, I was wondering if anyone out there really knew what they are using this reserch for. Are we contributing to our own demise or should we find out what they plan to use this data for?
Just asking what the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) in Ocean Springs, Mississippi is really using the data for and who is paying for this study? Give us an answer GCRL.

Ocean Springs, MS USA

Biologists at the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL) in Ocean Springs, Mississippi are studying whale sharks in the northern Gulf of Mexico.  If you encounter a whale shark, you can help the GCRL biologists learn about whale shark occurrence and distribution in the northern Gulf by participating in GCRL’s ONLINE WHALE SHARK SIGHTINGS SURVEY.

To Report a Sighting:
Please complete the survey at http://www.usm.edu/gcrl/whaleshark

Information that is helpful to us includes:

• Time and duration of encounter
• Location (GPS coordinates)
• Approximate size and number of sharks
• Observed behavior
• Associated species
• Photos/video (especially of the region behind the gill slits on the left side of the animal—this is used for identification)
• Any other distinguishing features (i.e. numbered marker tags located behind the dorsal fin—please notate number)

Your participation is greatly appreciated and vital to a better understanding of whale shark movements and habitat in the Gulf of Mexico. Thank you.
