Captain Tommy L. took Mike Truxillo Jr. and his friends Mike Truxillo, Tommy Bonner, and Allen Bonner on a fishing trip to Lake Salvador where they really spanked those fish!!! They used Salt & Pepper to catch 13 REDS!!!!!  

We had our friends Barry, his wife and their friend, stay at our Cajun Vista. They had an AWESOME time eating, drinking, and fishing with us. Captain Bobby B. always knows where to put you on the fish down in Bay Round!!! They limited the boat using electric chicken.

 

What a weekend this group had!!! OOOWWEEEEEE!! The Jim Breaux group fished in Bay Round, Little Lake, Bay Five, Bay Cray, and Bay Loria and never came home without an ice chest full!!! They caught 70 REDS, 80 TROUT, 5 DRUM, 6 FLOUNDER, 4 SHEEPHEAD, and 1 CATFISH!!!!! I'd like to see somebody match those numbers. It was a little windy and HOT! but that didn't stop the captains from filling the ice chests!! Besides catching all these fish, this group had a great time telling stories with the captains, eating great cajun food, drinking, and making new friends!!!
