Well the beeman headed down to Grand Isle this weekend for a little fishing and fun. Headed to the marsh Saturday morning and my wife and I ended up with 5 nice reds. Nothing huge, but perfect for the fryer. They would not eat any artificial baits and I fished hard but they just would not bite. We did bring some bait shrimp and caught all of the redfish under a cork. My wife caught 3 and I caught 2. On Saturday night I made up my mind I’d go cast in the surf on Sunday and see what was biting and I was glad I went. The waves weren’t too bad and the water was clear and green and I could see activity all over the place. I started out with a Matrix shad on a jig head in avocado color and when the action slowed I switched to a Johnson spoon which was just like the Mr Champ spoons I used when I was in my teens. I ended up catching 17 specs and kept 13. I also caught 5 other species of fish which kept me entertained between catching my specs. It’s been a long time since I had a good day in the surf and brought back fond memories when I was young.
