Tommy Martin knows his stuff

Dab, Brown, and I went fishing in a downpour in Leeville March 14 and 15 with Tommy Martin. Saturday kept 68 trout and a redfish. Sunday kept 59 trout and either 7 or 9 nice slot redfish. Talked to a lot of other folks there fishing with and without guides and we smoked them all. Stayed at the Marsh Masters lodge for $30 a man a night. You can get Tommy at http://www.martinproguide.com/, and I highly recommend him if you want to catch some trout, rain or shine. He says the best time is April - June.
Bought some crabs from this nice lady during a break in the fishing Saturday afternoon and boiled some shrimp and crabs Sat. night.
I think I could sell this one to "Frog Toggs". Went out Saturday till 11:00, went back in to see what the weather would do. At 1:00 looked alright and we headed back out. As soon as we got back to the spot the "bottom fell out of it". Brown won the least prepared award. Tommy said since we couldn't get any wetter we might as well fish, and we were hauling them in and high fiving in a genuine downpour.

Don't be a hater, dab... As soon as I get my charger for my camera back, I am going to light this website up!

That picture does not do justice of how soaked Tommy & I were...

Good Trip!
