We went yesterday.. The boats acted horribly!!! Worst I've seen in a while! If you caught a fish you were in trouble.

Wasn't gonna call him out, but lets just say the capt had a cigar in his mouth...lol

Ya'll are picken on the greatest trout fisherman in VB. Tom Elberson was THE best but he gone now......RIP.....

Don't you mean the biggest ego in vermillion bay?

Come on Bob!!!!! :rotfl:
I can think of a few others that can fall into that category:D and just not on VB!

No doubt about Tom being the best!! T Coon couldn't bait Toms hook. My dad and Tom were great friends and fished together often. Last time I talked to Tom was at the hospital when he came to see my dad a couple of days before he passed.

Tom and his partner Towpot (sp) had this great way of slinging trout in the boat so no one could see what they were up to! When I first started fishing the bay it was Tom who would give a little advice to the few who stuck it out just in the bay. He would never give the where but would give hints to make you think of the why and the how; said this would make you a better fisherman then you could find the where. I always felt real good fishing an area when I would see Mr. Tom pull up in that ol' wooden LAFCO.

Yep, Topot Morrow from Crowley. We were all good friends "back in the day".

Ditto on the mega bite??? LMAO!!!

Wonder what the water looks like after all this weather? Thinking about hitting it wed..

You gonna have to let that wind move out the west to a more NE to East wind for things to clear up. North wind will push the water out the bay quickly. The returning high tide is usually muddy for the next day. As soon as the wind lays give it a a day or two.

Yeah fished this afternoon. Water was so muddy everywhere I stopped but I didn't have anything better to do. I love being out in the bay on a weekday.

Fished the bay Friday and only caught 3 white trout but I did catch a nice size jack cravelle fishing the bank between blue point and shark bayou. I didn't know what the hell it was when I hooked up to it. I have pics but I haven't uploaded them to my computer yet.
