Mudskimmer 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2015 Just got back from a road trip to see my brother who is currently working in New Orleans. We managed to avoid the Mardi Gras madness and fished 3 full days. Considering we fished out of a bass boat and couldn't really reach most of the reds we saw we did pretty well. The reds were right at the upper slot size or just over. Also caught quite a few trout although none were real big and even a few largemouth. First time I ever caught trout and largemouth in the same spot. Does that count as some kind of slam? Started out a bit chilly on the first morning but the weather was terrific in the afternoons. Caught the reds on the black and orange fly (thanks to Betty for the advice on that one) and the trout and bass on the goat hair/rabbit strip flies. Here are a couple pics.
