went to n. levee armed with a pint of live shrimp .. popping cork. everyone i knew that fished was there.
hit a honey hole and the trouts were on it like gangbusters .. all under 15"
must have hooked a dozen .. switch over to corky pink, nada., swimming image, nada
back to shrimp and the float would dive after 2-3 pops. played with them a while until i ran out of shrimp .. managed 4 barely keepers (15-16 in)for dinner
note: they are back into a similar pattern so if u caught them there last year .. they are there now.
cant wait til the big ones show up .. schoolies were more fun than skunk any day

Good to hear. May do a little truck fishing in the morning.
Re: N. levee road heating up
I saw one of those gar guys out there last time I went - he had a 6 foot gar in the road he was cutting up, and he still had about 5 lines in the water, with the plastic bag tied on the line right next to the tip, the way they fish for gar.

Looks like we will fish the north levee in the morning. Colburn mentioned the bank fisherman were catching fish.
It will be a late start, but better than not at all.

We went. Late start and got hammered by the east wind. Before the rain I was doing good to make a 30 foot cast into that wind. No bites and will try again.

Thanks for the report. Glad you got out!
