The Pilgrims Landed in Delacroix.

Today I had Don and his brother Mark Pilgrim on board with Dave from Texas to rip some lips.
No Kidding….Pilgrims on Thanksgiving….Really I’M serious….real Pilgrims go figure!
Well we headed the Mayflower towards the new world and after setting down to one of the prettiest sunrises I have seen in a while first thing we noticed was there was no tide so we made a short move to where the water would funnel a little faster and the guys got on a quick bite with trout hitting the deck at a fast pace.
Keeping only 12 ½ and up we went to 30 in the gloo pretty quick then it shut off.
Made a very short move and it was on again and before long the guys had their limit with Mark holding big trout honors with a nice 20″ trout.
We hit number 85 before 9am and the guys said they would like to try for some reds so it was thru the woods to grandmas house and stopped in a pond near Oak River and Don hooked up first but in less than half the distance to the boat the red came unbuttoned.
Not to worry Dave hooked up next and the red took him for a tour of the back of the Mayflower hooking him in the MOTOR,TRIM TABS, POWER POLE, and any thing else it could find attached to the boat before breaking loose.
Them Louisiana reds just have a lot more power than them Texas reds I guess!!!
Mark struck with a nice 27″ and actually landed one showing the guys how it was done.
Not to worry in a few minutes they were all hooking up at the same time with nice slots from 20 to 26″ and before long we had our limit of reds and could not fit them in the box with two jumping out before you could put another one in!!!
All trout and reds were caught on Hybryds Flurrys LSU colors and the Pink Champagne Dudley.
We had a ball catching as well as losing a gang of reds so with 16 reds and 85 trout the guys said enough and we headed in to clean up.
It was great fishing with Dave the first time and he is already looking for his next trip.
As far as the Pilgrims go they were made an offering to them by the local indians of some bud lite at the quick stop and they were as happy as hell as they sailed off to the west..!!!

Even with no tide the fishing could not have been easier today and this cool snap will only make it better.
The trout and reds have been on fire since Ida and it looks like it will continue for the rest of the winter.

Till next time …Take a trip and rip some lips!
