B&B, Those Rapala Skitter Walks are nice baits too! I bet it was a blast catching a bunch of reds on them!
Definitly a blast. I was down there a couple of months before Katrina hit.
What a vacation..The days consist of eating, fishing for reds and trout and hanging around in the bar...They had to teach this NJ boy how to each crawfish...
Unfortunatly, the lodge that I stayed at (Lodge Of Louisianna) hasn't re-opened and I haven't been able to get in touch with the guide I was with...
.
BTW..I've tried them a few times casting for bass around the rocks around the various RB lighthouses with no luck. I think stripers like popper style topwaters better but I'm definitly not a expert in plugging for stripers..
