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. …
The weather has kept us on land more than usual this year. During the few days that we ventured out, we were working hard for each fish. Water temps are still in the upper 50s, but as the daily highs continue to climb things will improve quickly. I think we’ll see easier catching sometime in …
The few trips that were scheduled this month were canceled due to low water temperatures. If the water temperature is under 53 degrees, I prefer not to leave the dock. I did make a scouting trip in the middle of the month, catching a limit of trout, but it was a tough bite. Not something …
Mild weather in December allowed fishing, in the Lake Pontchartrain area, to remain consistent. Shrimp were still plentiful in the lake so we focused on the deep passes connecting Lake Borgne to Pontchartrain. With the warmer water temperature, the redfish were most likely enjoying staying in the shallow ponds and shorelines. Speckled trout were not …
The speckled trout fishing in the Lake Pontchartrain area was at its best in November. Fishing in the lake at the trestles, the Pearl River, Rigolets, MRGO, ICW, and Lake Catherine will be great in December as well. I have been taking customers fishing from the Pearl River to the great wall of Chalmette, and …
October has been an easy month. All signs point to incredible fishing in November, December, and possibly January. We’ve had so many fish hit the cleaning tables this October. Many groups have already booked trips for next October. We’ve been fishing mostly for speckled trout and catching plenty of redfish, bay snapper, black drum, and …
Despite the extreme temperatures we endured most of the month, August gave us many great Redfish trips. For most of our trips, we threw artificial baits such as spoons and spinnerbaits, and limits were easy to come by. Toward the end of the month, the lakes finally cleaned up from the weather we had in …
This has been an unusual July. Record rain amounts this summer have made fishing interesting for us. Every day we’re working against the clock to put fish in the boat before the storms build. Most days we’re catching limits of redfish, but some days the storms send us racing back to the dock a few …
We started off the month of June with mixed catches of speckled trout, bay snapper and limits of redfish. Toward the end of the month, we were having to fish hard and fast each morning to beat the incoming storms. Most days still offered limits of redfish before 10 am. Shrimp underneath a popping cork, …
