NEWEST FISHING PHOTOS

Ray with a great Trout to start the afternoon fishing with great friend Tom Drago (On his first ever Louisiana fishing trip!), plus friends Dave and Chris from Pro Angler on Julia ST in the CBD in New Orleans. It was a HOT day on Lake Ponchartrain with no wind. Fishing was tough, but we managed to get some nice fish in the boat, thanks to Dave and Chris!!!

Nice yellow mouth Trout...and some big ole teeth in that mouth, too!

It was so hot, Ray just had to jump in to cool off! And boy did it feel good!!!

Tom, Ray and Dave goofin off in the water before getting back to the fishing!

Ray with a nice fat Trout and a fat Flounder, caught in Lake Ponchartrain!

Chris showing Ray the finer points of spearfishing!

Ray, done with the spearfishing for the day...as its getting dark; next time have to start the spearfishing lessons earlier before the visibility goes to pot. But Ray is HOOKED on the spearfishing, thanks to Chris! Cant wait to get out and try it again!!!

Ray with a nice Flounder caught fishing the Rigoletes with good friend George Seibert. Gotta love the work done at the Rigoletes' Marina! Live bait, licenses, food, tackle, you name it, they got it!

Capt Gene Dugas of RatherBe Fishing Adventures (www.ratherbe-fishing.com) and Ray with a couple of nice Hopedale Redfish. The trip was shortened due to the storm you see in the background.
