ecofina river fishing question

[dgriffin]

anyone have a clue on what is biting just offshore of the river and what type of bait to use...I'll be going out of Ecofina River State Park...any advice would be greatly appreciated

Trout and reds are plentiful. It takes a little work to locate them, but they are there. Incoming tide. Shallow water. Jerk bait.

We will be there sat hail me on the vhf channel 14. We will be going later in the morn to fish the warmer afternoon. I'll be happy to let you know what's working for us.(if something is) Move a lot till you find them. Dont fish a fishless spot more than 30 minutes. Good luck and welcome to the site.

My son's bringing a friend so it's just gonna be fun fishing. Catching fish will just be a bonus. How much does it cost to enter and how many people allowed in boat?

$20. And I believe non-members are still allowed to fish one tourney a year without buying a $40 membership so they can see what it's all about. That $40 would be required if you want to fish a 2nd tourney. 4 to a boat I think, but the rules are on the NFGFC.org webpage.

You'll get in on the great food Larry is bringing as well. Boston butts....mmmmmm

I think non-members can fish a total of two tournaments a year... (unless the rules have changed this year)

the non members have to fish with a member this yr i believe .you can join sat and anybody thats a family member in the same house is automatically a member so your son can fish for free and just would have to pay an extra 5$ for the friend.then after the tourney your welcome to the great food and raffle at the weigh in (anyone fishing gets a ticket) for a lot of great prizes. .the nfgfc membership can get you some discounts with some of the sponsors too .
