Big Lake 19th & 20th
 

Weekend report:

We fished offshore on both Saturday and Sunday given a good report that I received from Friday. We had several boats with us on the rigs both Saturday and Sunday. By the time we left on Saturday morning all of the boats were gone which should tell you the offshore bite was not good on Saturday. On the way in we started to fish the beach and we should have as the beach bite was great on Saturday. We did stop at the east side Jetty and put a few fish in the boat, overall I made a few bad calls on Saturday and cost us what should have been a great day.

On Sunday we gave the fish one more shot offshore, we caught tons of reds and drum which you cannot keep as far out as we were but only a couple of trout. It is a little early for that bite. Of course with the high south winds Saturday night the beach was muddy. We made our way in and fished a few reefs I like on the south end and began to get on a really good bite. We kept 44 trout and they lost at least 5-10 more, some quality fish.

When we made it to the camp Saturday night every camp had lights on, coming in on Saturday there were boats 5 wide in the ship channel. The pressure on this lake right now is intense.

Nice box of fish! I'm sure everyone had a great time just being on the water.

Nice!

We did but I to make up for a bad day on Saturday, it was eating me up. I let the kids and my wife fish on Sunday once we located the fish, they had a great time.

Nice report and nice box of trout man. I bet there was some boats.

Yep...if you want to get away from boats...offshore and beach is where its at right now from what I hear...

Know some guys who have been limiting out at JB rocks by 730am with 60 trout the last 4 days

Nice catch there Casey.

good day's

Boy that is an understatement! I think I saw more boats on the water Saturday than I've ever seen for the Trout Shoot Out. I think just about any one who has a boat was out Saturday.

Good report.

Nice report and catch, Chicken.

Nice job. Looks like you put the little ones on some fish and that's what counts!!

Someone said they had like 3 tournaments on Saturday also

Nice catch boss man!!!

Good report Casey. Oh and I did receive my shirt thanks.

My camp neighbor that did so good Thursday went back Friday and only got 12, and 10 on Saturday.
Nice report !

Way to redeem yourself and put the family on some fish!
Nice catch boss man!

Nice job Casey.

nice

Nice catch Casey

Great box shot...

My brother and nephew were down last Sat, and he said the number of boats on the lake was unreal. They caught 32 trout, a few reds and a few black drum...the trout were on live shrimp and the reds on cracked crab.

Rocks will be jammed up soon from the beach on out along with the lake:spineyes: Nice report CKIN....looks like a happy little kido~!

Nice catch. Took our Boy Scout troop camping on the beach near Creole Friday night and fished the surf Saturday. Caught some nice specks, a few reds, and plenty of sharks on cut bait and plastic. Most specks were caught on white plastic close to the beach. Nothing on topwater lures. One adult had about 4 nice specks on a short stringer tied to his waist and a shark neatly bit off the back half of a spec and crashed into his thigh as it moved through! Pretty exciting (and scary)! Beautiful weekend.

Saw you heading out Saturday morning but too crowded to say hello. Hope you had a good day on the lake. I'm actually glad i got out and witnessed the mass crowds that morning. Never woulda dreamed the amount of boats alone at cal pt much less all of big lake.
Had one fella pulling his trailer out of the launch that morning and his tire was about to wobble right off. Luckily i had just purchased a 2ton hydraulic floor jack so he could quickly replace. Left the jack with him as we set sail and asked of him to place it in the bed of my truck not sure if it would be there upon return. I have to say there are still honest good people left out there! :)

I rather go fish JB rocks than fight moron in lake...most who go to rocks know how to fish

I work in Johnson Bayou everyday and get to pass by the surf. Growing up in Johnson Bayou I can pretty much tell when that surfs on.

Nice catch

Nice...

Welcome to the Saltycajun.

Please keep us informed about the beach fishing conditions. It is a long drive for most of us and is really hard time it right to catch some fish.

awesome. Let us know when things get right so I can make a trip down there. :cheers:

Great box shot and thanks for the report
