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…
Although this winter has been as mild as one I can ever remember this front may be the one to consolidate the red fish in the deep holes of the marsh. Typically easy red fishing starts around the end of November but this winter the temperatures haven’t seemed to get cold enough and the water…
Trout fishing tends to slow down this time of year as far as numbers go but targeting trophy size specks can heat up this time of year. This is the time of year where patience is key. Look for a few bites not loading the boat. Across the entire Gulf Coast is known for yielding…
As I write this I am looking out my window at the biggest NW wind of the year so far and plummeting temperatures. What will this do to the fish? Well I personally love when the water drops out for marsh fishing as it consolidates the fish into the deeper bayous driving them out of…

After returning to Louisiana for college I turned my…

There probably is not an easier time to locate reds than the month of October. Waters clean up, rivers drop and red fish flourish. Water temperatures begin to cool and red fish begin to herd up like cattle. We spend a lot of time while waiting on the speckled trout to settle in chasing…
After a dismal and wet August this summer, September has seen more sun than the equator. Blue bird sunny days on the regular bringing out record setting heat waves also. The good news is the red fish love the sun and could care less about the heat. The good news for us red…
