Rollover to Grand Chenier 3/28/17

[Jrchip1]

Started around 12:30 PM Thursday afternoon and hoped that the Spec Bite would happen around 5:30 PM based on tides and previous bite. They were catching some Bull's on da Beach. The beach water was too muddy for Spec's, even though I gave them about 1/2 hr. Gave up and headed North, back towards Hwy 82. Found some decent water, a deep hole that a few times/yr. fills up with Puppies and Red's. This time, just Puppies and 1 red. All in all, caught 8 Puppies over 24", had to release 3.

I then moved and set up for the Spec's, nada. Tried 2 other spots, same story, they simply did not bite at all !! Caught 3 more Red's while Spec fishing.... 1 pole deep water, 1 pole on the bank. Had caught some live shrimp, but also threw artificial with a 3rd rod at times to be sure I wasn't missing a spot, a trend, or depth zone.

I only retrieved about 1 lb. of fillets/ 25-27" Puppy. Fried up a 16" Red and it was good. Those Black Drum are a lot of trouble to clean for the amount of meat they give up (trimming blood streak, worms etc. :-) )
