A week in Johnson Bayou
Wife and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary by renting a camp in JB for a week. What a woman! Showed her pictures of condo's in Destin- she said she would rather go to JB. What a blessing! We arrived on 9-28 and here is the run down.
9-29: Went to BL and it was rough. Caught 5 trout and 1 red and almost got caught by a storm.
9-30: Too windy to fish so we caught 42 crabs in the West Cove Canal. Crab boil that night- delicous.
10-1: More wind and more crabs.
10-2: Wife stayed back and I went solo. Caught a limit of Reds and 10 nice trout on a reef in West Cove Bay. Skitterwalks and H&H Sparkle/Chart tail.
10-3: A buddy and his wife came meet us and starting Monday morning it was on! STITM ( Speckle Trout In The Mouth). Limit of specs and reds.
10-4: Limit of specs and 1 red.
10-5: Fished the morning and caught 33 before 9:30am.
We never left West Cove. We had sunshine everyday except the first day we fished and after Saturday the wind was good enough to fish where I wanted. Ate Crab/Shrimp Gumbo, Fish Tacos, Boiled crabs etc. etc. - Restaurant! Did not take a lot of pics but here are a few. First one from the porch of the camp we rented which was the ticket.
