Take pictures, you know we like seeing pictures dondon. It's cold up here, so we need to see what the good life looks like in the warm weather. We don't care that the fish are not crappie, we'll photoshop them.
Will do Slab. Gonna be fun catching some of those 4 to 5 lb speckeled trout and HOPEFULLY a few redfish in the 8-10 lb range
One thing I really wanna do it go out the the bay Bridge and try and get Nessa on a couple of those 40-50 pound Black Drum. Can't eat em but man what a fight. I just picked up a couple of medium heavy rods with a fast action and rigged them with 20 lb power pro braid so we'll be fishing with Clubs for those things. Fish on the bottom with a shrimp and when they bite, HOLD ON. LOVE to put her on her biggest fish ever. She caught a 24 lb Striped Bass 4 years ago at Lake Quachita and she tried to had me the rod after bout 10 minutes of fighting it. NOPE, I didn't take it, made her fight that fish. Girl was wore out by the time she got it in. LOL
How did the bird turn out.....Chef Boy R DD!!!!
You need to take some video of that!
OMG man, it was fineeeeee. Pics didn't turn out. Brined for 36 hours, Injected with creole butter and let to rest for 3-4 more hours. Them backbone cut out and butterflied and grilled offset at 350-400 for about 3 hours. Pulled it at an Internal temp of 160 in the breast. Got a sammich for lunch today!!!
Good Idea Scott. Have to clean out some pics to do it though. I took pics with my phone of other folks pictures on the net that were holding up some big fish. Mainly looked for pics that had monuments in the background so I can find those same spots now. LOL Did that and took pics of google earth of how to get into some of these backwater sloughs so I can get back up in there
What do you mean you can't eat the Black Drum, Red fish is just a red one. Cook them on the grill on the half shell with smoke and that's some fine eating.Quote:

Maybe you can catch a few sheephead, hard to clean but eat pretty good.
Them too.Quote:

Yes. We used to think of them as trash fish until a couple years ago but like Steve said, they are good eating.Quote:

That's a good idea too. If I didn't get to go very often, I would certainly have all bases covered.Quote:

I do really hope the wind ain't bad saturday cause those big bull reds are hanging round Cat Island right now is huge schools. Talked to a guy the other day that said he was this huge Orange mass up ahead of him and when he got there there were thousands of huge over 30 inch reds.
Hope ya'll have a blast. Sounds like you are pretty well prepared for everything that you can. If you see any Bouyo Billy Shrimp (come in a three pack) get a few packs of the pink and the natural colors. Use them under clacker corks (tourist rigs) and float them while you are casting jigs or hard baits. We always have two floating behind the boat while drifting. Usually our bigger fish of the day comes on those baits. Keep you drag set loose but just enough to set the hook. Look forward to the pics.
We gonna do that SH. not those baits but got a secret bait a feller told me to buy. Says it's the best Speck bait he ever bought. Gonna be on the lookout for birds diving as well. Specks will be right up under the diving birds
Watch out for them great white sharks, they're as bad as big foots.
I'm skeered of sharks; they'll eat you!Quote:
