Got four reds to 25 inches and a pair of lovely flounder in the Deep Lake canals yesterday, but only one canal was any good. Several are filling in badly.
Dwyane, when we got to the Joseph Harbor launch, there was only one truck in the parking lot! Tide going the wrong way, I guess. It's going to need to flip for cast netting to be any good!
Pete
Thanks for the report Pete. I still need to get down there. Were they still catching crabs?
Not enough folks out in the marsh to tell. A few were crabbing along the bulkheads by the back-down ramps, but I don't know how they were doing.
I'd wait a while - unless you are going fish-fishing (Which I hope to do again over there tomorrow! :D).
Pete
hmmmm any shrimp being caught pete?
Not that I could tell, Gene, but there are some shrimp back there. The reds and flounders told me! :D
Pete
Thanks for the update Pete and Congrats on the catch..
Dwyane, Julie and I are heading down to Cameron in a couple weeks.. around the 5th I think. Gonna bring the popup camper to the jetty pier.
what about next weekend johnny?
Johnny that is the week that I will be on a cruise. Hope yall tear them up though. Give me a call about next weekend.Quote:

The alligators seem to have recovered from Ike, if that means anything. With the economy as it is, I doubt there will be a season this fall. Maybe we could ship a few fiesty 12-footers to the White House and get some of their mess straightened out. :D
Pass a good trip!
Pete
Gene, can't do it.. it is our annual lease meeting. Gotta go give them my money for another year.Quote:

If you must head south now, I'd suggest you try Calcasieu Lake. My haunts (V-Bay and Rock.) have been a bit poopie lately.
Pete
Gene, I don't have heavy pockets like you do...lol.. It has to be either one or the other..lol.. unless you gonna fund the trip for me to go to cameron, I can hand deliver the lease money and head down there, otherwise it will be the following weekend. As far as I know, Cameron is still open to fishing, I think it is far enough west that it isn't affected YET, will probably call first before to head down there.Quote:

Gene -
The weather forecast looks pretty good - if you can believe it! :eek:
I'm sure the "bird-fishing" on Calcasieu Lake is good now - but I'm also certain that everyone in southwest Louisiana knows about it! Lots of competition. Should be plenty of bull reds along the Cameron jetties, too, and if you have an offshore breeze, the surf from Holly Beach to Johnson's Bayou can be outstanding for specks! And you don't even need a boat to fish it! Just drive along looking and park and wade-fish the promising spots.
Don't know anything about shrimping or crabbing over there, but it ought to be decent around Rockefeller with this full moon.
Bon chance, cher.
Pete
and if you gonna fish between the ferry and holly beach, bring you some nose clips/plugs...lol.. that pogie plant sure does stink... If you are bringing your boat, the jetty pier will probably be pretty busy with people but if you go south of it just a little ways, you can usually get on some of them big bulls and black drum. Last time I was out there in a boat we went to the first break in the jetties past the pier and went through to the other side and caught a good mess of channel mullet(that's what Dwyane called them). That was some good eating.
