Before water temps plummet into the low 50’s and winter truly fully sets into action and water levels still high enough to get into the shallows make sure to check out Bob’s Bayou and Bayou Platte. These bayous are excellent fall and winter time spots. There natural winding curves and interjecting bayous and ditches provides…
If your looking for big numbers of trout the Chalmette area is still the place to be but this week’s tip is to make sure not to over look the trestle for you local anglers. Troy and I made a quick sneak peek monday afternoon at the trestle and boated 2 nice trout and a…
Owner/operator of Millertime Fishing Charters, Capt. Travis focuses his fishing south of Houma, LA in the Dularge area. He has been seen on Castin Cajun, heard on Speaking of Specks, and has been featured in Louisiana Sportsman Magazine and on Nola.com. Although his main focus is speckled trout you will never see him turn down…

My absolute favorite time of the year is now. Trout are starving and eating up Matrix Shad. Trout in sizes of 2-5lbs have been common all over the area. We have been steadily fishing the Chalmette area from Viloet all the way up the ICW to Boh Bros, and even through the Industrial Canal to…
After patiently wanting all october to see a busted month for the “World Series” trout we finally are seeing a few show face on the bridges. We went out two days this week armed with Lemon Head Matrix Shad and boated 8 solid trout each day. “No big numbers right” yes but every year that…
With the world series now here and gone its time to see a surge of trout, reds and flounder to make there way into Lake Ponchartrain and settle in on the bridges. We have already had several opportunities to find “Schooling Reds” working on shrimp with seagulls diving on them. That is a normal occurrence…
