Amelia 2-16-15

Made my first voyage to Amelia yesterday with a friend. Had to at least search for a few Amelia monsters even though fishing in the area is still tough as it hasn't recovered from hurricane issac yet? Not a bad day at all but a slow and steady bite . We ended up with 33 sacs. Although I didn't catch as many big fish as I hoped( never do of course). Did have a 14 1/2 inch fish that weighed 1-14 . A good day but pre issac and gustav a day with yesterday's weather would have produced at least twice as many fish . That being said I'll be back that way again soon as there is a few monsters swimming with my name on themAttachment 191153

That's great new SS. I was planning to start learning and fishing that area the year after Gustav hit. So much for that plan. I had made a few trips prior to the hurricanes just to get to know the area a little and was planning to hit it hard that Spring. Too bad but I'm glad of a good report. Maybe we'll not get a hurricane for a couple more years and the fishing will again be good.

Yeah. Hopefully so. Although I had a good trip and a couple last spring the fish population is still way way down. I actually only so 1 other boat which tells you how tough it is. . Although my trip was good that was with as perfect of weather conditions as you can have yesterday. In fact I pretty much only willing to go when conditions are ideal. Before the hurricanes it was the opposite as that's where I would go any time I had tough conditions as I knew I could scratch out a mess there under almost any conditions

I'll probably make a trip or two this year once the weather settles. I need to ride around and map out the different canals and bayous. It's one of the prettiest areas I've ever fished.
