    Finally fixed my creaky boat trailer. Installed the Dexter shackle kit with greasable bolts last weekend, and it’s quiet as a church mouse.

    Anyway, hit Red River yesterday and had a tough morning! I figured I’d have to work for them with the fresh rain and fishing the back end of a cold front.

    Launched at St Maurice and jumped South to Hampton Lake. Looked around for a couple hours and didn’t catch a fish.

    Ran up to the Natchitoches bridge and fished the old ferry pilings outside the rock wall. It was tough and slow, but I picked up my first couple fish. When it slowed there, I ran back down to Hampton. Several folks on the sandbars running jugs and chilling under their awnings. Plenty of beer,
    no doubt!

    Around noon by that time, and a few fish had set up on the trees near the bottom. 1/32nd minnow head jig and the threadfin shad Bobby garland, picked up a dozen or so.

    Tough day, but left with 14. Gonna blacken the filets and make a fish salad ��

      Good job. Blackened fish salad sounds good.

      I'm planning a curing & smoking session for my next cooler full of fish as pretty as these. Good Job on the Catch.

      Very nice! Blackened seasoning is my favorite way to eat fish.

      Havent made it before lol. I'll just make it like a simple chicken salad. Mayo base, a little cream of celery, dijon mustard, black pepper, and green onion. And fish of course. Most of my cooking is done by feel
