Day 2 Grind to the Gold

Some trips are all about covering miles. This wasn’t one of them. While helping Capt. Travis Miller with another great crew, we found what we were looking for at our very first stop. The trout weren’t biting every cast, but they kept coming steadily enough that there was never a reason to leave. About two hours later, the crew had 45 speckled trout in the box, all from the same location. Days like this are a good reminder that patience can be just as important as finding the fish. We had a great crew, a steady bite, and another successful morning in the Louisiana marsh.

Day 1 was a special one. One of my longtime returning guests, Steve, was back for another trip, and this time he brought his son, Nick Bekeleski, along for his first experience fishing the Louisiana marsh. I always enjoy introducing someone new to what makes Sportsman’s Paradise so special, and Nick picked a great day to join us. The puppy drum were fired up, keeping us busy most of the morning, and we added a couple of nice redfish to round out the trip. Steve, thank you for the many years of support, friendship, and trust you’ve placed in me. Repeat customers like you mean more than you know, and it was a pleasure spending another day on the water with you and Nick. Looking forward to the next trip!

Day 2 was a great way to wrap up the trip. The crew picked up right where they left off, finding another excellent speckled trout bite and staying busy throughout the morning. Once we had a solid box of trout, we spent the rest of the trip chasing a few slot redfish to add even more excitement. Two days of steady action, quality fish, and a fantastic group made this trip one we’ll remember for a long time. We appreciate everyone for spending their time on the water with us and hope to see them back in South Louisiana again soon!
