Reds, Flounder, and puppy drum!

[Finfeatherfur]

Had a weekend of uncertain issues following a long illness for my grandmother. It was decided on Friday we would go ahead and make a trip with my two boys down to Dularge for some fishing and be prepared to pack up a go if need be. Well, old Maw-Maw did ok this weekend and the fish were there to keep us busy!

We found some reds stacked up in an oldie but goodie spot fishing carolina rigged cracked crab, and mixed in a few puppy drum. I keep all the puppy drum I can to make red gravy and rice, but some people don't like them. That is the best fish for a red gravy I find and we love em'. Also, checked a couple of drains flowing out of the marsh and picked up 2 nice flounder which I scaled and deboned whole to later stuff w/ shrimp and crabmeat.

My plans to chase triple tail were cut short with the wind, but it was a great time for my wife and boys. All fish were caught in the Lost Lake/Carencro Bayou area and the tide was key to catching the reds. Once the tide shut down, so did the bite! Good luck and tight lines!
