This month has been challenging with a lot of windy days. The redfish migration seems to be behind schedule; however, we are catching a bull red here and there. Black drum seem to be behind schedule as well. I haven’t had a day off to get out and get a good assessment of the redfish …
Fishing has been tough to beat this month. We are catching a lot of speckled trout in Lake Pontchartrain, so this is a great time to be on the water. The Trestles, Hwy 11, and the Twin Span bridges are all holding fish at the moment. Along with the speckled trout are black drum, redfish, …
March is doing what it’s known for; windy days, fluctuating temps, and muddy water. When the wind lays down enough, we are venturing into the marsh and seeing a lot of redfish. The issue with this time of the year is getting the reds to eat. The warmer days with an incoming tide seem to …
We’ve been sneaking out when the weather allows and catching a few fish. Striped bass, catfish, and redfish are making up the bulk of the catch at the moment. With the Pearl River being at flood stage there is a lot of dirty water in the area. After Mardi Gras we should start seeing more …
December was very good, when we were able to get out. Between taking delivery of the new 2023 Bluewave 2400 Purebay and the frequent rain days, we didn’t run too many trips. However, the days we did go found us filling the cleaning tables to the max with fish. Conditions were right for Redfish in …
As usual, Fall has been busy, and very productive. My days in September through mid- December are usually booked up several months prior. For good reason. The fishing is spectacular during this time of year and Fall 2022 is no exception. The weather has been warmer than usual, keeping the speckled trout scattered. Typical trout …
August Fishing Report The heat was not as bad this August thanks to cloud cover most of the month. Speckled Trout were still caught around the full moon in the local area. White trout made up the bulk of the catch. There were a few redfish trips toward the end of the month that were …
Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain was very good in July, and I expect it to get better in August. More sheepshead and drum will make their way into the lake this month and the speckled trout will be close with the exception of the full moon. During a full moon we notice a decrease in trout …
June gave us a lot of familiar faces, along with some new ones too! So many incredible trips, even with a different fishing pattern for this time of year. Normally we’re chasing redfish with popping corks every day in June. The extreme heat, overabundant submerged grass in the marsh, and every crabber in Louisiana running …
Speckled Trout fishing has been great. Now that the water temperature is well over 77 degrees, most of the trout have moved further out from Lake Pontchartrain to spawn. We’re still catching plenty though. I’ve been running many redfish trips the last couple weeks and it is great to be in the Biloxi marsh again. …
