If chasing the silver wonders are difficult for you this time of year then simply change the pace and go red and green. It only makes sense as Christmas is near. In all seriousness this is the absolute best time to find bass and reds stacked together. If you find the honey hole you will…
I think we can all agree that 2020 may be the worst year of this century. Sure the year of 9/11 was tragic for our country especially the big Apple and 2005 was absolutely detrimental to the Gulf Coast along with 2010 when we had the BP oil spill. But 2020 has covered…
It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Santa Clause is no where to be seen. NFL and college football is rolling along with the MLB playoffs and crisp weather with specks moving to the inside. If you like red fish or flounder better they also excel in the month of October. This is…
“The Most Exciting Fishing on Gulf Coast” What is your favorite way to catch a fish? Is it popping a cork for schooling trout or topwater for big yellow mouths? Maybe it’s tossing spinner baits and big reds cruising a shoreline or even jigging deep water passes for whatever bites. Well if your answer isn’t sight…
What do you consider deep water? In costal Louisiana which is relatively shallow most would consider deep water anything over six feet. Here on the Pontchartrain basin we have multiple areas in our passes close to 100 feet deep. Migrations of shrimp and fish migrate through these huge passes in giant schools everyday and trout…
After another very fresh year in our estuary, a salt water surge has made its way back into Lake Pontchartrain after being at 1ppt for almost the entire year. At the end of July the salt ppt jumped all the way up to 17ppt and now sits around 5ppt. Look for summer trout spots to…
The dog days of summer are here and not going anywhere too soon. Looks like July is going to start off as a wet one to go along with scorching heat. This is definitely not one of my favorite times of year although we still go fishing and there is several things to do right…
Well what a wild spring we have jumped into. From the most swollen Pearl River I may have ever recalled, to a pandemic requiring a 30 day quarantine and why not throw another Bonnett Carre Spillway opening to boot. Well the saying “It can’t get any worse” I think holds pretty true for the beginning…
Tis the season for these tasty little rascals. Here in south Louisiana they are called sacalait for “sack of milk” due to their delicious table fair. Besides top water trout fishing and sight fishing reds this is a favorite fish to target for us here at DockSide TV as you can see in many of…
This winter has so far been non existent and the trout have been responding to these warm temperatures. Typically we loose our speckled trout bite around this time of year but this year the specks have been staying in a November style pattern all winter. We also usually find the bass and reds stacked up…
