Father and Sons Fishing Trip

     Back in 2009 we started a tradition to have a Father and Sons trip each year consisting of golfing or fishing. Our first trip was a fishing trip at Bay Flats Lodge for two days of bay fishing hunting down Speckled Trout and Redfish. We battled the hot temperatures, stomach bugs, cold mornings, and whatever else got thrown at us. In the end we had a great time and created some great memories while taking time to talk about what we wanted to do next.

 

     My brother, Robert Boudreaux gave up the freshwater fishing up north for a couple of days to come down and hit the bays of Seadrift, TX. Sporting the shades and taking on some rays, he had a lot of luck with Speckled Trout as we drifted through some beds of fish.

     My father, Cully Boudreaux also had a lot of luck with the Speckled Trout. Being a master fisherman in all waters (with the right Guide), he managed to hook quite a few during our trip. We took this time to ponder whether we needed to take a trip to Alabama, head back to Foxfire in the Carolina's, or make our way some day up to Pebble Beach. Either way we knew that this trip was what we needed to continue for as long as we all could.

     Our catch for the day as you can see was quite a bit. Tons of Speckled Trout lined up on the hooks for the post-trip photo shoot. There were some Black Drum on there too, but the Redfish eluded us throughout the weekend. We had a couple of nights under the pavilion talking with the guys and eating some great food prepared by the lodge. All in all, Bay Flats Lodge proved to be a very relaxing outing for our family and the beginning of a tradition that we hope to keep strong for years to come.
