We launched at the end of Williams blvd and started heading to the Jefferson Parrish reef, we noticed the birds just north of us about half a mile and on the west side of the causeway. Looking north along the causeway we could see 3 sets of birds going and we stayed with the closest two until the end when we started heading south again. The last set of birds were between the reef and the causeway. We're both saltwater fishing rookies and I would have never realized how much you have to work to stay with the fish if it wasn't for the birds guiding us. The other boat that was out looked like he was fishing the bottom, but it was hard to tell and we didn't get to close and didn't want to ruin it for him so we just headed home. We launched at 630 and by 900 there were 3ft seas, we got soaking wet on the ride in but it was worth it. I think more experienced anglers would have had their limits of trout today because they probably would have been better at staying with the fish, our TM(12 volt) was useless in those winds.
