Comment: It was a little windy when we got to our spot in the Sulfur Mine, so we went straight to the canals of Old Bayou Blue. That worked out great, but the fish were scarce only catching 12. We went back to the Sulfur Mine and managed another 14. The rest of our spots were non-productive. If the showers go away maybe we’ll get to go next Monday.
