I cannot believe that we have not been fishing since Hurricane Katrina destroyed this area on August 29, 2005.  We finally went out this week, over eleven years later.   I used to rent a fishing boat but those days are long gone.  We went with Captain Nick with Get the Net Charters out of Lafitte, LA.  We had a great day although it got pretty windy and rough after noon.  We caught everything from speckled trout, sheephead, black drum, redfish, gaftop catfish, an eel, and almost a dolphin.  The dolphins feed on the speckled trout and I had to reel in a trout very quickly before the dolphin snatched it.  He followed my trout right up to the boat trying to eat it.  My daughter and son-in-law were the ones that really got the fishing ball rolling.  We've definitely got the fishing fever now.  We had fresh redfish filet on the grill last night cooked Cajun style and it was absolutely delicious.  Here is a link to the fishing recipe I used - https://youtu.be/c3yuXEGFyM0?list=FL0k-b9YhpULrZ3NoTgx0Zyw.  I cut back a little on the garlic powder and cooked it 20 minutes.  I'll be back to playing Hendrix soon.
