Just got back from our trip to Grand Isle, was a pretty good fishing trip. First few days we didn't get much action, we had to fish around rain and hardly got any bites. 4th day we tried at the mouth of the bay and found a few speckled trout, we caught about 30 between 3 of us but only had 12 keepers.

The next day we tried fishing for bull reds and black drum using some blue crabs carolina rigged as bait that we had in some traps we set. We had some pretty good luck the first night, we caught 3 bull reds the first night and 1 drum and 3 bull reds and 5 drum the next night. Most of the drum were 30-35 inches, too big to keep. But we did manage to get 2 small enough to keep. Most of the bull reds were 30-37 inches, biggest was caught by me 43 inches.


On the way, almost there.

First bull red of the trip this one was 36 inches, but up a good fight. Took about 10 mins to get in the net.

My truck was broke down so I had my aluminum brake in the boat, and had to use the wife's SUV to haul it to a job site ( I did go fishing after work since I'm doing a house on a lake)...lol
