Vets day trout

We decided to participate in the “WE HEART VETS” rodeo at the Dock on Sat. Got 100 shrimp and headed for Lake Catherine (again). We tried a point then headed to Bay Jaune where we caught them last week. First cast we got a big one so we stuck the Talon and got on a pretty good bite with some really nice sized trout, think we measured 2 fish . I thought we would place in the rodeo for sure but we barely missed 3rd place . Oh well. Several of our fish were 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. Largest was 2.4 lbs. We started around 7:15 and finished at 10:00 with 22 nice trout and headed in to watch LSU kick butt. At 2:30 we went to the weigh-in at the dock to hang out for a while with the Vets and weighed 3 fish…all over 2 lbs but none made the board. It was a good feeling to support the Vets and was a good day fishing too. As long as I can catch 20 or 30 in my back yard I will be postponing the Delacroix trips for a while. I do think I hear Pointe Fienne calling though…..killed them in there last few years! Thank you to all Vets out there in cyber-land! ( Can somebody out there tell me exactly how to post pictures directly from my phone?)
