We had a late start yesterday due to a cold front passing through with severe weather. The rain finally broke about 8 AM and we decided to make the hour and a half drive to Hopedale,LA. It was a good call. We caught fish at every stop. We got into a school of reds that was insane. One would grab your lure under a cork. You would have 10 more chasing the one you hooked. They would cme up and grab your cork. Usually cutting you off. I actually caught one when he swallowed my cork, NO hook!!! He spit it out as soon as he went into the net. We are not huge Redfish fans so we left them biting. Besides we had broke off about 10 times.
The winter time patterns are finally here. The Specks have moved into the interior lakes and bays. We caught over 100 Specks with one 23" about 5lbs. The reds ranged from 16" to over 30" or 2 - 25lbs.
Even my lab had the rainy day blues.
Joey caught this pretty red with the most spots I've ever seen.
As always, we didn't keep our limit. We kept just enough for a good fish fry.
Water was pretty rough. I was trying to get a picture of a Red hitting the cork.
