Fishing Mermentau with Son 4/5/14

[saute86]

My middle son came in from LSU and surprised me at the camp last night. Said he was long over due to go fishing. We launched at sunrise at HWY 14 and went north. All fish were within 2 to 3 ft of the bank at 10in deep. River was muddier than last week due to the rain and the farmers flushing the rice fields. We did manage to find 2 canals with clear water and one about half as muddy as the river. Could not get a bite in the clear water. In the canal that had the dingy water we caught fish. We kept 10 sacs, 4 goggle eyes, and a catfish. Threw back a couple of small sacs, a bunch of goggle eyes and a big choupique. Caught all the sacs before 9am and we were heading for the launch by 10am. I enjoyed watching Dylan catch a few fish. I thought he had a huge bass when he hooked the choupique. He was a pro loosening his drag with out being told to when it ran for the middle of the canal. We caught half the fish off one log in about 30 seconds....lol. We had 2 double hookups back to back. He are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. I even took a few pics of my collies for vet to enjoy.
