well the lagoon was very windy blowing 20 plus mph but for these guys from Minnesota it was there only day to go so I did my best and put these fellas on some nice trout and reds. we used chunk lady fish along the shore lines where bait was moving and of course with the wind on our backs. the bit was very slow but the size of the fish made them very happy never caching reds and trout before. call and book your trip and lets go catch some fish!!

With winter coming and cooler air and water Temps going down the fish are showing signs of schooling up with the water leaving up. We are catch lots of fish with the majority being short we are still catching some good ones. We are throwing either chunk Mullet is Cajun thunder corks with live shrimp.

With the water cleaning up a little but still low we are able to do more sight fishing for tailing reds. Even though its hard its very rewarding when you land that fish no matter the size. If you have never tried it you ought to. I love it,
