May 8, 2010  High winds, Muddy Water , and Almost No Tide gave me good reason to postpone my trip for today, but not good enough reason for me to stay home! The 3rd cast of the day and a large trout jumps 2 feet in the air next to my cork with a Gulp Swimming Mullet attached and he was attached to the Gulp. A nice fight for a few minutes and a  4 pound (25″ Beauty) was in the net! Then as I headed down the ship channel. I could not believe my eyes a huge flock of  birds was working the washout area, and not a boat in sight. I think they were all hiding from the wind. I got well upwind and drifted in range and It Was On!!!! 22 casts and 22 fish in a row. I kept these few nice ones for a pic and dinner. Then the wind went into high gear about 8 am and the bite quit! The next 3 hours was lots of casts and one nice Flounder for my effort. Still a Fun morning on Lake Calcasieu. Always nice to face the elements and come out a winner!!!
