Mirrolure day 1

Today capt Gerry jumped on board with me to go see if we could sniff out a few mirrorlure trout.
Headed towards the out side but the winds were getting stiffer by the second and the closer we got the worse it looked.
Headed towards Pt A lahache and shut down in a bay I normally find decent trout this time of year and nothing was happening but the gnats so we made another move and settled in a a decent bite with trout from 18″ to 22″ slamming the mirrolures trying to take the pole out our hands.
Den dem raid feesh crashed the party dragging us a round for a while with a few monsters but mostly all nice 25″ slots.
Wanted to keep two reds for the house and one of them swallowed the mirrorlure so he was nominated one of the two.
Needed a dozen trout for the house and although I like to keep the smaller ones there just wasn’t any under 20″ so what the hell I’ll just cut them in strips.

The winds picked up and dirtied up the water and the bite shut down so we made a move and settled in a pocket near Bay Lafourche and before I knew it Gerry was getting pulled around by another gold brute that had other ideas than coming to the boat for a while.
The winds got pretty stiff for a while so we checked a few spots on the way in catching a couple smaller trout here and there but the bite was already shut down .
The water in the marsh is clean right now with the east winds pushing cleaner water in.
Tide was falling in the morning but it quit early and started rolling in.
Water temp was 71 which is right there on the trigger.
After another week of this warmth with the falling tide in the morning look for these trout to bust loose.
Found the trout tailing schools of mullet over a shell bottom in less than three feet of water.
The catch 2000 in the mullet colors were doing well.

Took a photo of a few on the table and if you look you will see they are loading up with eggs already so it won’t be long now.

Till nxt time ….Take a trip and rip some lips!!!
