Summer has been HOT, but the days we are getting out to fish New Orleans have been great. Speckled Trout, white trout, and redfish have made up the bulk of the catch. The waters of Lake Pontchartrain which borders New Orleans has finally cleaned up from the Spring rains. Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain will now be great for black drum, redfish, sheephead, and flounder. As we get into September the New Orleans Fishing will really heat up. Speckled Trout will start showing up more in Lake Borgne, Lake Catherine, and Lake Pontchartrain. White shrimp showed up on time in the waterways around New Orleans and Slidell. This annual migration will help bring more fish to the waterways of New Orleans and the Northshore. With all these positive things happening now is the time to book your New Orleans fishing charters. September fishing will be very good, as it always is. Captain Drake still has dates available for September and a few left for the Fall Fishing season. Whether you’re looking for fishing charters in Slidell or for fishing charters New Orleans to give you a fun, meat haul of a fishing trip, Captain Drake can get it done for you. In the last 6 years Victory Bay Charters has emerged as a premier fishing charter in the Lake Pontchartrain area. Captain Drake does not rely on a network of guides or other fishermen to tell him where the fish are. Most trips are not spent parked at a community hole with the rest of the fleet. With Victory Bay Charters, you’re more likely to end up fishing off the wall areas and spots off the beaten path. Fishermen wanting to learn how to fish Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne, the wall, or even learn the Biloxi Marsh have hired Captain Drake to teach them how to find fish away from other boats. A few scrolls through the social media of Victory Bay Charters will show impressive catches made mostly in hidden areas while fishing the New Orleans and Slidell Rigolets area.
September will be here soon enough and it’ll be a little cooler. The big bull reds (redfish) will soon pile up into the passes for their spawn while the slot reds will be feasting on white shrimp in the marsh. Catching New Orleans redfish is tough to beat! Speckled Trout will start moving in closer around the middle of September. Slidell fishing will really turn on at this time. Lake Pontchartrain trout fishing is a lot of fun. Catching fish every cast and piling them up on ice is a great way to spend your morning. Captain Drake Morvant can make it happen!
Fall will be here soon. It’s no secret that this is the best time of the year! From mid September to the end of December it will be INCREDIBLE. The time to book is NOW. Fall dates fill up fast and early.
