    Default Vermilion Bay


    Made three hits in the past 10 days on the reds/flounders in the northwest pocket of V-Bay. When the reds don't cooperate, a few really nice flounders take up the slack, and the water is almost decent ! Spinnerbaits or purple flies, worked against the grass, are effective. Tide doesn't seem to matter - fish early! Put three to 24 inches and a flounder in the cooler, and released three other reds, before 0930 today.
    Keep the oil away
    From Vermilion Bay! :D

    You can't fish with a hung line!

    "Huh?" What's "Huh"? My eyeballs are sunburned - did I miss something, or are you just surprised that I caught something!? :D :D :D

    Pete I had to read that one twice myself 3 to 24", I guess you mean 3 fish from 16" to 24" and 24" being the bigest??

    Hmmmm - I guess that was a little vague. Prety bad for an outdoor writer!
    I will strive to do better.

    Wife and I fished around Calcasieu Point yesterday. Wind was terrible, however we still caught probably 20 reds. Three nice ones and the rest 14-15 inches. There has been more small reds this year than I have ever seen. Maybe this fall will be really good. Tried to fish flounder, but the wind had the water stirred up too bad.

    Yeah Johnny, on that trip I was fly fishing. However, on the last one - Tuesday last, I think, the tide was much higher, and we had to use spinnerbaits.
    Going again tomorrow. The tide will be much lower, so we'll probably fly fish - at least for a while.

    Dwyane, I ate some of your Bundick's sac-a-lait last night - YUM! Hope you are catching some of those Lambert's/Grand's redfish!

    Pete
