Breton Sound Bullred Fishkill.
A few days ago I was motoring across Breton Sound and came across a horrible sight... Thousands of big mature redfish flying dead on the surface. They went on for miles and miles. I know anyone out there recently can confirm this. I took pictures and video. The fish were stacked up in a rip line with 'pogie foam'. That nasty brown foam that is a byproduct of pogie ships harvesting. The miles of dead redfish were also a byproduct of pogie harvest. Tell me how it is ok to protect the mature fish with our ,one over 27' limit, for fishermen but these boats are allowed to kill TONS of weight in mature spawning size redfish. I don't know what can be done but I think everyone should know ..... Read More

Kickoff for Tailing Redfish
“May is kickoff for tailing redfish,” said Capt. Fred Rourk, “because of the moon cycle coming into full moon.”

Beginning May 22-25, the tides will be 6.2 feet or bigger, and the reds will move onto the flats from North Inlet out of Georgetown down to Beaufort where Rourk does most of his fishing.

Rourk says that these flats, which can be up to two miles long, will have several creeks that feed onto them during this time. This is where he looks for sandy, hard bottoms with short grass on them.

“The bait will move back into this short grass, and the reds will follow them,” Rourk said. “And when you see reds with their heads down and tailing, then you know they are feeding.” ..... Read More

REEL LIFE FISHING
Capt. Elton is wishing he could get his new HLT sand eel out of this trouts mouth. When you test prototypes there are just not that many. The trout were choking themselves on these baits. For more information on them contact catchdat.com
Capt. Eric ran the first charter on the HIGH LIFE II today and had the trout eating the sand eels up.

Beautiful Trout in the Breton Sound
Fishing Magician Charters,LLC

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with my good friends: Greg, David, Perry, and Rene. They came in and spent the night at the lodge so that we could get an early start at the Marina. However, we didn't beat the crowd, it looked like everyone else had the same idea. We fished the edge of Breton Sound where got onto a couple of good trout bites. We ended the day catching our limit of 125 speckled trout.

Capt. Jason had the pleasure of fishing with a good friend Mike Rodriquez and his friends Dan and Paul from New England. Mike wanted them to experience a good trout bite, and that is what Capt. Jason did. They ended the day with 70 big beautiful ..... Read More

Twelve trips in three days between the Shore Thing Fleet. I am gonna miss a lot of the details, but will try to post as many pictures as time allows. All of the pictures I have will be on the Shore Thing Site as well. Gonna be a long one, here we go...

Thursday I was out with Stewart and Wade from Gulf Bank. These boys were up for what ever, I actually had to talk them into keeping fish. Fished shells, deep holes and drop offs in the LA Marsh, before we found a steady trout bite. Did help that both of the boys could cast well and keep the lines tight with the moving water. The bite was suttle, and we were bouncing carolina rigs with live shrimp and mullet over shells. Once they got ..... Read More

Dularge 5-18-13
Great to be back in the water today! Woke up to 20 mph winds this morning thinking it would be a tough day? Launched the Blue Wave and idled up to Jug's landing at 5 am to find my crew there early and ready! Mr. Wayne Forrestor and his son in law Steven Louque jumped on board and off we went.
At our first stop we found trout ready to jump in the Yeti. It wasn't a fast and furious bite but good enough to stick with. It want long before the Saturday morning boat parade showed up but, everyone caught fish.
At 11 am we had 46 nice trout on ice when Mr. Wayne said that's plenty enough, lets leave them biting and go get some reds. Man it's hard to leave biting fish but, we did and added 6 ..... Read More

Trout Slam 5-18-13
Good times today having Will, Brandon & Robert Russ, and Stanley Barre back onboard. The bite is good as it gets right now. We had the trout coming in two at a time as soon as we pulled up to our first stop, and the Burn Hacks were flying. Fast and furious action as the trout were eating up our double rigged Shrimp Creole Matrix Shad. The guys stuffed the Yeti full and we left the fish biting. Doesn't get any better as we are on a roll. Thanks again guys for another incredible day. Big thanks also to Capt E Rodrigue for running the second boat with Wayne Forrestor. The crew had a blast catching trout and reds.

If your looking for a trip you will never forget give me a call, we ..... Read More

Fouchon 5/18
Finished this morning and ended with 1 speck. That's right one. First stop timbalier islands. Ocean and back side of the east and west points. Nothing. Headed to 5 spots in Leeville around picket bay. 1 speck. We fished cocahoes Carolina rigged, & under a popping cork. I through tandem rigged everything at the island As well as three topwaters (black, white, and chartreuse) top water. Nothing. The water was brown and chocolate with a light wind just enough to frustrate you running the trolling motor. Has anyone found clear water. Have you fished the beach today or yesterday? Rough? Troll? Anchor? Yesterday I finished with 10 specks and one big red. Today was very deflating. Help! ..... Read More

The weather has been outstanding this past week. Fishing has been countless. Jack has been doing charters these past 3 weeks. Things are starting to pick up around here fast. Today’s fishing was really good. Some captains went on the outside to fish for trout in Iron Bank and Stone Island. Also reports that there are still trout around in little lake. The reds are all over grand lake. Over all the fishing was good. Some did excellent. Some even had a tough day like Captain Jack. Jack caught 10 reds, 2 flounder, 3 trout, 5 drum, and 50 throw back reds. Come on down to Sweetwater the weather is great in Delacroix and so is the fishing. People were coming back as fast as they were ..... Read More

Best Area to Learn for Beginner
I'm going fishing Saturday morning and can't decide where to try. I want to learn Delacroix, but I am wondering if this is an area I need to go with someone who is familiar before I go on my own. Is it fairly easy to navigate? Anything I should be wary of (obstructions, shallow areas, etc.)? I will be fishing out of a 1546 xpress semi-v. My other options are Hopedale or Bayou Bienvenue. These questions are more related to safety than catching fish. Any thoughts, comments, or advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Trip to Mechant/Sister Lake
Last Thursday we fished Lakes Mechant and Sister. Water was muddy everywhere we went. We ended up with five small keeper trout caught in one spot on the southeast end of Sister Lake.Question.....has the water cleared up in the lakes?

Thank God for what we have.
The problem is all of which was stated here and also the huge increase in the amount of new fishermen due to gps , cell phones and fast boats. When I was young and went to the camp every weekend which was on bayou Robinson (Port Sulpher) there were many days I would never see another boat . Often would here tug boats, but could go the entire weekend without a sight of another vessel. So I beleve the truth of the matter is that its all of these things combined. Except the golbal warming bullshit. lol that was clever idea for many to get rich. Good Luck

Lookin for Report for Rigolets Area
Headin out to Rigolets Marina Sunday mornin, Was hoping some1 give a report on hows area been doin, I know fish have been good on trestles but also i know how many people will be out there too Any help would be nice

We ended with 33 fish total by 10am at to leave so I can get home to watch mt girls while the wife went to work

Bashing the trout 5-17-13
Gaiennie Lumber Company came down from Opelousas for a good old fashion trout bashing. Randy, Ken, Landon, and Sam jumped on my boat and we were off to pretty green water. It took about an hour to find the yellowmouths but when we did the bite was on FIRE!! Everyone was hooked up and all I did was net and unhook fish. With doubles and singles flying everywhere it was tough to keep up. Pretty simple today! Double rigged Matrix Shad and live shrimp did the damage. Looking forward to seeing the Gaienne crew again in June. Thanks Capt. Marty LaCoste for setting up the trip.

Insane Trout Bite 5-17-13
What a incredible day, easy as it gets!!! The trout bite is off the charts as we are filling the boxes and putting smiles on our customers faces day in and day out. I had a big group today with Gaiennie Lumber Co. We had three boats running and all boats crushed the big trout!! Double rigged Matrix Shad and TTF KFM's double rigged and some live shrimp put a major damage on the fish. The box was so full I had to resort to putting the fish in the live well. The guys had the trout coming in every-cast and all I could do was unhook fish. My crew could not believe the fast and furious action and had the time of their lives. Big thanks to everyone that fished with us and to Capt Travis Miller ..... Read More

Venice vs Grand Isle
My grandfather, father and I are headed down to the Gulf from Spokane, WA. We will be down there from about May 25- June 5. Our goal of the trip is to catch reds, hopefully some big bull reds. I am looking forward to some speckled trout action as well. We are bringing my 16 ft. Crestliner /w 40hp down with us. Plan on staying inshore with it obviously. Original plan was to go to Venice but while looking for places to camp, Grand Isle has more. I actually couldnt find any place to camp near Venice. We will probably stay in hotels/ motels for some of the trip but we all enjoy camping and it cuts the costs. We planned on hiring a guide for at least one day to make sure we can catch some .....

Delta or Beshels?
I have a day off this Monday that I plan on spending on the water. I don't travel down Hwy 23 much, but want to learn a few spots to fish. Weather reports look promising, with light SSE winds. . . what side of the Mississippi should we fish? Will it even matter with that wind direction?

Planning on launching from Delta, but may launch from Beshels if the east side sounds like the better bet.

Opinions? Thanks in advance!

Trestles 5/15/13
Wanted to get out on the water pretty early so my Uncle could get some sunrise pictures so with all the boats running to the north shore, we decided to launch at delagos in Irish Bayou. Got out on the water and started jiggin a green hornet on the east side on the south shore. Wasn't doing much all morning so when the tide slacked I thought I would make a move and stick a couple. Started putting flounder in the boat left and right and then some big specks. Everything caught on Matrix Shads on a 3/8 head, slowly jiggin the bottom. Didn't matter what color really but old faithful Shrimp Creole seemed to be a constant. Actually caught better on the Matrix Shad than my friends did that had live ..... Read More

Cajun Expeditions
Colonel Walter Fahr and his son David made it down from Baton Rouge today to get in on some May fishing in Black Bay. After catching mostly small specs in Black Bay with the wind picking up we made one stop inside to find the trout eating up in 10' feet of water. After loading up on nice 2 to 3 lb specks we made one move to fill their limit of reds tightlining in 6' of water with a few flounder thrown in. There are still a good number of specks inside if you can find clean water. I just had a cancellation for Memorial Day weekend! Capt. Sean 504-723-3229.

Breton Sound Sweep Thursday
Had a great couple of guys fishing with me yesterday. Stan and Chad are long time friends and fishing buddies and were in for a treat out there Thursday. We had almost perfect conditions with calm seas, and nice strong incoming tide. Water was a little dirty but the fish did not seem to mind. Made a long run like a shot out the barrel into the Sound for our first stop. Couple fishermen already on the grounds when we arrived but we set up just far enough not to mess up their bites and joined the party. Was not fast and furious by any means but we worked away at our trout limit with mixed fish up to 3 1/2 pounds. The guys really dialed in on the tight line method feeling for the thump. .....

We had a couple captains go out today. One captain mentioned that it was pretty tough. He ended up coming back with a mixed box. Consisted of some trout, red, and drum. There was also a group who came back with reds and drum. They said it wasn’t the best day but the fishing was consistent. All the customers were happy who did go out on charters. They all came back with smiles on their face. Fishing is getting tough on the inside. If you want to get on the trout you may want to look like running on the outside. As far as the reds and drums there about ten minutes from the dock. Ask about our Sweetwater special; dead bait, ice, and a launch for 18 bucks. If you’re coming down tomorrow ..... Read More
