Beautiful sunrise over the Delacroix marsh this morning. Light winds greeted us as we arrived at our first fishing spot. We set up on the edge of the ledge of a deep bayou. Unfortunately, the tide was not moving at all and the fishing action suffered. We tried live shrimp on carolina rigs in the deeper water and along the ledge. We got into 3 different species of catfish, stingrays, small speckled trout and 1 nice red in the 15lb class. We decided to move further out to try and find some moving water. We hit a large lake that has a submerged reef. We set up on the edge of the reef as the tide started rising. We started catching some nice trout in the 13-18" class. We had to wade through some small trout to get ones that would meet the new regulatory limit. We ran low on live shrimp so I switched the group over to plastic cocahoes on 3/8 ounce jigheads. The action picked up significantly as the group figured out how to catch them on soft plastics. We had a good number of fish and we decided to call it early and headed back to the dock. Great time in Delacroix! Bad weather predicted for the next few days, but will be back at it early next week. Good luck out there!
