shepp Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 i normally go trout fishing with a good friend of mine for the opener, but its been so rainy here IDK if we are going to beable to. the river that runs thru my area is expected to crest today or tomorrow and all the streams are well over full. the week after i normally go up north but there is still 12-18" of ice on the lakes and 12" of snow. this weather is got everything so messed up!?! when does your season open any plans?
BigP623 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 well down here in cajun county we catch trout all year round...the speckled kind that is along with redfish flounder etc....

Just be sure to do your research on the charter company.
imschur Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 We had our Trout opener last Saturday. We called it amateur day. I probably wont fish for trout until memorial day on a planned trip

Just be sure to do your research on the charter company. Guy I went to highschool with is an avid outdoorsman and lives in Baton Rouge. When I went hog hunting down there with him it was kinda slow so the last day we went down to port fu Joan (sp) and surf fished, that was a blast. I plan on going down there for a week or so in the next few years.
BLKSHEEP Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 Oh yea,we try to do that every year also, may & june are usually the best months, around the full moon.....but most importantly try to plan your trip during a week with good tidal movements.
imschur Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 I'm one of those armatures lol Here in CT it's comical because we dont have a lot of good places to fish so it's elbow to elbow with bobbers flying everywhere. The fish need helmets
BigP623 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 Its Port Fourchon....pronounced fooo shawn...unless youre cajun then it has a whole new pronounciation.... But yea surf fishing down there is a blast when the weathers right.

But yea surf fishing down there is a blast when the weathers right. thats it! we were down there the first part of march last year, didnt do to bad caught a couple of 25 pound drum, some sheeps head, 2 nice reds and a stingray and bonet head shark. and everythings way different in cajun LOL. on the way down there we stopped and bought some shrimp from some fishermen, there was alot of confuson Edited April 24, 2013 by shepp
unforgiven Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 This says it all Fukin great <lmao> <lmao> went to slip bobbers for the family,that was the way to go. 8)
EasyEJL Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 This says it all well, if you ever run out, all you need to do is tie a knife to a long branch and cut those down
imschur Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 Every tree and bush at this park looks like this. Its why I was able to find this picture on the internet
shepp Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Posted April 24, 2013 Wow that's bad. I fish all rural streams mostly pasture land. I don't use a bobber just an ultra light some split shot and a hook with a half of crawler, cast it up stream and slowly reel it back
unforgiven Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 If someone took a ladder to the park should be easy enough to clean up.Even a pruner on a pole would work,and you got a collection of bobbers.Can give them to kids.
shepp Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Posted April 26, 2013 Just talked to my friend and we're on for next weekend, can't wait :)
shepp Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Posted May 5, 2013 Wasn't a bad weekend the main river we fish was super high yesterday, dropped three feet over night but was still to high and fast today. Fished smaller streams yesterday and did pretty well caught alot of fish and kept enough for dinner. Today was tough in the smaller steams cuz the water dropped in them too, but we brought a few home with us.
unforgiven Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Looked like a good time,beat's working. <thumbsup>
imschur Posted May 5, 2013 Report Posted May 5, 2013 Nice...Im going trout fishing Friday before memorial day. We are having the driest spring I have ever seen. It might be the first time ever where we have a lot off access to the river. Usually in the spring we are limited because the water is too high. Of course a lot can happen between now and then.
