MONDAY MORNING UP-DATE

FROM THE SPECKLED TROUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD - HACKBERRY ROD AND GUN

NO OIL AND LOTS OF FISH BEING CAUGHT ON “BIG LAKE”

OIL UPDATE FOR SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA

As of this morning BP has put the cap in place and is attempting to divert spewing oil from the well to the surface. We will keep you up-dated concerning our conditions here in southwest Louisiana.

This was a super week of fishing here on Lake Calcasieu. Good catches of big trout as well big numbers of big redfish and solid trout between 16 and 22 inches were caught on plastic as well as live bait. TTF’s killer minnow seemed to be the best bait and the best colors were the EAST BEAST and OPENING NIGHT. Anglers throwing big top water baits like Mirrolurs’s SHE DOG and TOP DOG were rewarded with some solid speckled trout up to 29 inches over oyster reefs. Bone and Chrome proved to be a great color.  As the waters of the lake get warmer with the summer heat fish will move into the deeper areas such as the jetties and along the ship channel. Kennel up.
