Overfishing Vs. Underfishing

[Duck Butter]

Steve Shook catches 'trophies' every year at Grand Isle/Fourchon, he caught a 10 lb. this summer. They are there, but they are not hanging around the 11 3/4 in school trout that are eating live shrimp under a popping cork, so not going to be caught by the average weekend fisherman that is wanting to just fill the box

We used to fish with him and he had lots of big trout on the walls of his cabins, I don't think the cabins are there any more? He was a tournament fisherman (might still be?) and he would try certain areas and when we caught a couple nice trout, he would move to another spot and put us on the school trout to fill the box. Took us a while to figure it out, but he was scouting with us, which didn't matter because we just wanted to catch fish to bring home. He liked to use live pogies rather than shrimp. That was part of the fun was going out in the bay to find the pogies and catch them.
