Well Friday morning we left on are fishing trip, We meet the Captain in Bayou Caddy and headed for the Rigolets for a day of Reds and Trout.
Was a very slow start, but we found the trout after a bit and got about a dozen of them. While fishing for them we manged to scare a small school of Reds.
We moved all over the place and John caught a 15 pound Red and what a nice fight he had on light tackle!
I forgot the camera and have no pic's for the day
The captain did get a pic of John and the fish and we are waiting for him to email it to us.
The boat was a 23 Hydrosport with 250 hp 4 stroke, what a nice moving boat!!
The Captain was a nice enough guy, and knew how to run the boat and how to fish, but his gear was less then in good shape! I lost at least one chance to get some Reds cause the spinning gear was all stiff to the point we had to pull the bail over by hand. He also did not offer any info on how to catch the fish, I had to watch him and figure it out for myself, then tell John how to do it.
But it was a great day out there I got my first sun burn iof the season!
Now for Saturday, we headed for New Orleans, we meet up with Ferm and his wife, Nice people! to bad we did not have a log of time together as we got a later start then we expected and it took Ferm a little longer then he thought to get there. But it was nice talking and to put a face to a name!! Thanks Ferm!!
After that we were off to the streets, we had a blast!! Lots of interesting people for sure!
My wife got the wheelchair ride of her life after I had 3 shots of JD, 2 Banana Dac, 1 Hand Grenade, and more beers I can remember!!
I do have some pictures here but will wait till I get home to post.
Just as we started walking the streets the sky's opened up and it was raining most of the time, we were wet but fun was had by all!
