April fooled the trout at Ecofina.
Lavon, Zach and I got to the landing as the sun was rising. Got launched an headed out the river. . Decided to head down towards rock island and start fishing. We saw a large group of boats so I ran to a spot I have marked near them and started fishing. We got nothing there and after a while we moved further in. First fish was a Spanish. But after that it took a while to find what they wanted. I found one bag of gulp pogies in pumpkin chartreuse. And I started putting trout in the box. Blue spinner hailed me on the radio saying they were heading out and coming our way. Wished them luck and said talk to ya later. We had live shrimp and pinfish but they not bitting them. Decided to cut the pins into shiner tails and it was on. Zack caught his biggest trout ever at 22.5". . We finished our limit of trout and got ready to head in. . Saw a big school of rays swimming by. . Talked to spinner again and since he was about a mile away from us we went over to say hi. And then it was time to head in. . Saw someone waving us over so I stopped to see if he was in trouble. But come to find out it was Redbelly just saying hello. Nice to meet you hope you found the fish. And it was off to the landing. Saw a big gator at the landing. . It was a great day on the water today. Had a blast. . Water temp reached 75 today. Note to self fished Rock island flat ABC.

The shrimp would have just gone to waste.

I got 4 trout, the 1 flounder, 2 16" reds so close to a slam. If I had a net man may have another nice trout and a bigger flounder.Hit-n-Miss wrote:. Glad I got to meet you too. Still not met but a handful of members. What you wind up with?Redbelly wrote:Nice to meet you Greg.

That wind got up and made it tuff to fish the creeks with the incoming current.

. That's a good day. Yeah it's hard to net your own. I was surprised you were fishing alone.Redbelly wrote:I got 4 trout, the 1 flounder, 2 16" reds so close to a slam.

Re: April fooled the trout at Ecofina.
Anytime your fishing at Ecofina put your VHF on 14. That's where I keep mine and I believe Bluespinner does too. Spinner is the man. We were having motor trouble in my buddies boat down there and Bluespinner checked on us not once but twice to render assistance. We stop and speak at every opportunity. I usually try to hail members everytime I'm out on 14. Sometimes I get answers others not. Hail me. If I'm out there I'll answer. If I'm catching fish I'll tell you how I'm doing it. Heck I'll even tell you where I'm at. Most folks won't even divulge what color they are liking on that day. Much less where. See ya out there.
