I am the fisherman formally known as kokopelli. I traded the kokopelli in a new inshore boat my wife calls reel blessed. I fished today north of Grand Isle I caught one 15 and a half inch trout. Water was stained to dirty but still a good day.

I had the awesome pleasure of introducing 2 first timers to the wonders of the Gulf of Mexico. My oldest grandson who is 16 and my 72 yo mother. It was an awesome day for a trip to South Timbalier block. Mom caught her two snapper of average size 18 inches, the wife did a little better than Mom 20 and 21 inches but the grandson kicked our butts with the first keeper and the biggest snapper which.... Read More

This evenings trip to west little lake was more productive this than this mornings trip. Koko limit not reached but still fun. One 12 1/2' speck one small croaker several rat reds, ladyfish and hard heads. The best part was my three year old grand son learning to cast and doing a dang good job, won't be much longer before he gets a hook to go with his cork, good job Daniel!

Inshore Fishing in Leeville / Golden Meadow in Southeast Louisiana
Took the better half out this morning looking for some trout. Went to fornation isle and found a parking lot, which soon cleared out. Only caught one hard head and one lady fish. On the way back in we stopped in Bay Rosa and picked up one speck 11 1/2 inches and one small hard head. I guess they are waiting for the falling tide this afternoon and the south wind instead of the northern we had.... Read More

I followed my camp neighbor out this morning to his double blindfold secrete spot and was not disappointed. My wife and I landed 26 nice trout most in the 15 - 17 inch range. They were persuaded to sacrifice them selves to live Terry's shrimp and chartreuse speck rigs all under the cork.

Deer Hunting in Louisiana

  • It was tough to get blood on Ceily from her first deer but he managed to get a little on her cheek
Posting for a friend....
Anthony took his daughter Ceily on her first hunt as a shooter last weekend. At 4:30pm a big doe walked in to the shooting lane about eighty yards out. Ceily scoped her .243 onto the heart of the beast and asked Anthony for permission to shoot. Dad said when ever you are ready so Ceily squeezed off one round and the big doe headed for the woods. Ceily lowered her rifle.... Read More

The wife says if juvenile reds are rat reds than juvenile specs are mouse specks, so we threw back dozens of mouse / mice specks. I will make one more trip in the AM before calling it a week.

Fished the marsh this morning on the falling tide first up a puppy drum followed by a small flounder. I eased up to the opening in the marsh to sight cast a few reds, 1,2,3 real quick, two slot reds and one rat red, than the bite quit. Tried a few more spots picked up another flounder. Last spot I picked up two more slot reds followed by the phone call from the wife that breakfast was ready.

The trout eluded me once again on the hard falling tide this morning. I managed 1 small speck, 1 very small croker 5 rat reds two slot reds one small flounder and a Bull Red that towed me half way across Little Lake before I wore him down enough to land and release him (speck rod). All were caught with Terry's minnows under a cork.
