Got up late, didnt make it out until about 8am. Started around 17th, then after a very slow morning decided to ride out around Jim fish camp. Again not much luck, actually NO luck and I threw the kitched sink trying. I did see some small white trout caught but not enought ot keep me there. So I packed up, on my way home a friend called and wanted to fish, so I swung by and got him and we headed back around 17th street.

Finally started hooking up around 3:30 and until 5:30 I didnt stop pulling in fish. First few fish where 14-16 in specks, then I caught a nice size black drum, gave me a good fight. Nothing like the monster drum I caught last week but still fun. Then out of know where my line took off again and it was fighting pretty dang good but wasnt acting like a red or even a sheep head. Finally it broke the top of the water and my mouth dropped, it was a killer sized pompino. Never have I caught a pompino in the bayou, besides SMALL babys. This was MOMMA I guess, very nice size fish. We ended the day with 1,000 small specks all in a row, which I will take considering I fished all day with no luck and finally the last 2 hours I caught fire.

Fish on

Tight lines, red fish = me happy
