"There won't be any ham sandwiches on this trip," said Capt. Theophile Bourgeois of Bourgeois Fishing Charters, (http://www.neworleansfishing.com/). "It'll be strictly Cajun." Our group arrived today at Bourgeois' main lodge to settle in, eat dinner, tell fish stories and get a bit of rest. Early tomorrow we head for the "Cajun Chalet," a remote lodge that's accessible only by boat and 18 miles from the nearest road, for three days of fishing. Redfish will be the main attraction, and we expect the reds to blow up on Bomber Saltwater Grade Walkie Talkies. However, speckled trout, flounder and largemouth bass are apt to be with the reds in the brackish water. Fishing will be good - if not great. I'm confident in that. However, Capt. Bourgeois assured us that the trip is not about the fishing. It's about the the gumbo, the blakened redfish, the crawfish... No Internet at the Cajun Chalet, by the way. I'll report back at the end of the trip.
