Phil and Lauren were in town and wanted to spend a day on the water. We ran across Lake Borgne, leaving the New Orleans marsh, and made a brief u-turn after a tripletail was spotted, but missed.

Given the tough conditions, Phil and Lauren were great and I look forward to fishing with these avid anglers again.
