Great time to be a fisherman.

Fall fishing is easily my favorite time of the year to fish. And yesterday was one of those perfect days. Light winds, clear water, strong tides and a marsh full of speckled trout.

Mr. Brian Balhoff out of Baton Rouge usually comes down with his stepdad and brother but seeing as how they were all busy duck hunting he had to take on the burden himself. We had a blast out there. I told Brian the fish have been a little bigger towards Delacroix so we went that way. Mission for the day was to catch our limit of 50 without hitting any one place that I had fished before. With these conditions its great to hit new holes because you know its not really conditions in your way if they don't produce.

We found fish everywhere with the larger fish coming off points in bigger bays and way back in the ponds. The get your limit fish came from deeper holes with strong tide. We found that if the fish got small switching back and forth to plastic would get you a couple thick keepers then put some more bait in the water to keep um rolling. We caught fish just about every tactic from live under a cork to tight lined plastics on a jig head. But the quality of fish on the plastics was hands down better. Fish were hittin' them either under a cork in shallow flats or on the fall pitched into deep holes with some tidal rip. Even got on a really good puppy drum bite at the end dragging dead bait down on the bottom. FUN day on the water and got our 50 trout without too much of a worry, struck out at some of the new spots but also added a 3 or 4 new honey holes to the list.

We fished in and around 4 Horse and Round Lake.
