Dr Steven Marcello was back on board with his wife LieAnn, Daughter Carli, and Cory Gray. We pulled up to our first stop in the slick calm Gulf to find only a hand full of shrimp skipping across the water, nothing like yesterday. We made a quick move and found the trout stacked thick. Everyone in the boat had them coming in from every direction on the double rigged Avocado Matrix Shad, and.... Read More
I keep burning wires and switches on my trolling motor petals. This has happened to me on 2 different trolling motors. I have full 24 volts on the trolling motor. I have the 3 wire marinco plug and receptacle. Anybody have any experience or advice for this problem?
My son caught a 10lb 5oz bass at Lake Okhissa in March. We brought her straight to taxidermist and the taxidermist found 15 worms and a hook and sinker in her stomach. He said this was his first with this many
Ok so i am going to attempt to fish lake tommorow and stray from my green buddies. I plan on launching at dockside, fishing live shrimp. I'll use a carolina rig and weight will determine on current, a treble hook will be used. My question is should I fish the train bridge or the twin span and where is a good spot try. I am a complete rookie in the lake. I don't want a secret spot just a.... Read More
Hunters beware of Pat Heughan of www.Kimpatadv.com. And his partner David Desormier from Monroe that they say they have nothing to do with, but I got a phone call from a buddy last week saying his landowner called him saying that Pat Heughan and David Desormier got with him last week trying to get his lease. This guy is a crook and a compulsive lier. He will tell you anything to get your money..... Read More
Just curious on sightings from various regions and compared to last year this time. In the SW Lafayette area I am seeing more ducks still around than last year. Nesting mottles with a few teal in rice fields and fallow fields. Wood ducks in boxes and flying early AM along Golden Grain. Squealers just arrived in flocks over last 2 weeks. Will try to get a few photos and hopefully see a few newly.... Read More

Hey guys I need your help. I got my mottled duck from the taxi, but it looks like a black duck. I am wondering if this is a black duck or a mottled duck. The taxidermy and my dad both said it was a mottled duck, but I really think it is a black duck. Any help is needed. Thanks.
PS: Is there a sure fire way to tell if it is a black duck or a mottled duck or will the black/mottled duck debate go.... Read More
Hey guys as many of ya'll know i fish in upper dularge a ton and have learned the area very well. I love the place but ive noticed that the water has turned to basically one hundred percent freshwater and the grass and lillies are getting to be too much to deal with. I decided to pass up Falgout's this morning and drive a few more miles down to Jug's to try my luck in a new area. I fished a.... Read More

Anybody know at what water level the water is out of the trees at Old River? Or does it even get out of the trees? I'm wanting to try bowfishing there but it's a good drive so wanted to see what the water is like right now. I would prefer it out of the trees. Thanks
I have apond in my back yard that has some small bass, some perch, catfish, massive snakes and a 4 foot alligator snappin turtle. I have 2 perch tackle boxes with about 60 different perch and sacalet baits. I havent caught a fish out of there in about a year. Caught them there before. Whats wrong? Even tried live bait and still nothin.
Went and fished the Rigolets Monday with 2 friends, and had an okay trip. One of my friends caught a nice 3lbish Speck at the train bridge, but we didn't have much luck there. Instead, we went out to Lake Borgne and found a few Specks, the smallest one was 15 inches. Also fished the marsh around Seven Lagoons and caught some Reds, 3 drum, & 2 flounder. Not a bad trip, but not the.... Read More
Fishing and Diving Rodeo this weekend. “Jeff fish fest and Rodeo” Looks like its going to be a great weekend. The diving division is new this year and we only have a few boats signed up.

The diving it set up so you can win it in the lake or the Gulf. 1st,.... Read More
just curious, what other additions (proteins) do you add to crawfish,shrimp and crab boils. I know everyone adds sausage to the boils but anything else? I have added a pork loin to the water and it came out great. Anyone tried catfish filets?
Got a late start yesterday. My son couldn't make the trip so I decided I would go exploring. Left dockside at noon with intentions of fishing some rigs in Lake Borgne. The lake looked nice but I decided to press on to the south side of the Biloxi Marsh. When I arrived in Drum Bay the sound looked really nice, so it was on to Freemason. Stopped shortly after being in the sound at a couple of.... Read More
The council has invoked a 180 day emergency order to limit the amount of Triggerfish taken by the recreational sector and are asking for public comments. http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/bulletins/pdfs/2012/FB12-034_Gray_Triggerfish_Comment.pdf This is just another effort to screw the recreational sector. If you read the plan there is no plan. No historical data. No data to support this action. .... Read More
CRAPPIE/BREAM: Bream are bedding in 1 to 4 ft. To find them get a good pair of sun shades and during a bright day run your trolling motor on the shorelines and you can see the small, round craters attached to each other and there will often be a hundred or more of these together and you should also be able to see the bream themselves.
Back off and work the outside edges first throwing a.... Read More
LAKE CONDITIONS: At mid-week the lake level is 170.4' with both generators running most week days from 2 to 8 p.m. Water temps are 74 to 78 degrees and will continue to climb as we approach summer. Water temps did cool a little a week or so ago when we had the late cold front with temps in upper 40s for three nights in a row. That, in my opinion, was not a bad thing as it helped to slow....

Another trout slam Down Dularge!! Tim Barras was on board once again with his customers Bob Daigle,and Larry Landry. Non-stop fast and furious action as we were surrounded by skipping shrimp and trout in hot pursuit. Double rigged Avocado Matrix Shad, and Avocado Cocodrie Cocahoes put the smack down on the fish like they do every-day. When the smoke cleared around 9:00am we had 85 fish in the.... Read More
Today Capt Jack took Mr. Bob Marshall the sports writer for the Times Picayune out on a charter. They headed outside to Goscher Island about 5:45 this morning. Again today there was no tide movement but they managed to put together a nice box of fish. They even caught 15 really nice Pompano. I fixed a couple for dinner with grilled asparagus! They are soooooo good. In addition to the.... Read More

All were caught.... Read More
Got out on the water today with Matt Hyashi and his lady Amy. Matt wanted mackerel so we headed straight out to the sound where they have been thick. Of course when I target them they were hard to find... Did find some solid 3-4lb trout though. We picked away at the big girls on croakers under corks then headed back towards the dock making stops along the way with live shrimp to finish of our.... Read More
What's the process for going through the locks t empire? I've never gone through a set of locks in my life. Is there. Phone number you call or just pull up?
Fellow sportsmen,
Would like to hear what prop seems to work best for those that have a 90hp Yamaha.
I had recently bought a used boat with a 2009 Yamaha 90hp 2-stroke on an 18' Xpress SV CC and was considering changing props. It runs pretty good and average top speed is about 36-38 according to GPS depending on the load. Would a 4- blade be better than a normal 3-blade prop. Does it sound.... Read More

I had Stan Easly his grandson and friends Jeremy and Roger in the boat this past Friday fishing in the wind and before the rain hit with the approaching front. The wind was kicking from the start so the trout were out of the picture but these guy’s have fished with me before and love catching redfish anyway so redfish it was. The bite was slow we had to keep on the move and pick them up along.... Read More

Wonder why we are not seeing recent editions of Captain Bob's Between the Banks these days? The most recent one is in March.I see him at Boudreaux's Motel and know that he has filmed multiple segments since then. Can anybody help with this?
Wondering if there is still tarpon in Lake Pontchartrain. If so when is the best time to look for them and where? Really interested to find out any info. Thanks!
anyone know how to go about obtaining a land lease along the water in the stephensville/lake verret/belle river area? Driving by there, I see some land that's not being used but I can't figure out who to approach about leasing. Plan would be to put a camper on the land or maybe a house boat. Road access would be preferrable but water access only would be considered. Any thoughts would help.
Maul dragging the yellowmouths!! What a perfect day for my guests from south Texas to experience the adventure they witnessed this morning! Pat Anderson and Tommy Guerra booked this trip to catch big fat yellowmouths. They drove 11 hours and were not disappointed! The trout were breaking our double rigs and the guys could hardly lift in the doubles as lifting 2 three pound trout requires a.... Read More
Starting to notice some stress cracks on the sides of my pirogue. What is the best way to repair these?? fiberglass patch, etc...?? if so where do you buy them? Thanks in Adavance!
Been averaging 30-40 nice bluegill and google-eyes every trip down Bayou Cheveril in Vacherie. I have been fishing the main Bayou next to the trees with some hand tied chartruese jigs that I add spider legs to with a small piece (1/4' or less) of GULP Alive worm or waxies. Today I caught most of them withiin sight of the launch.
Ok guys I have a tech/product question. In the market for a VHF radio. I fish mostly Delacroix area, and may one day venture out in the sound. What will be the best type/ brand of radio? Handheld or fixed? Never know when the need may come
Enjoyed a rare solo trip yesterday with Harold Namminga from Oklahoma. Harold wanted to sample our great south Louisiana fishing . He was a one man wrecking crew as he lit up the fish. We started off introducing him to Mr Yellowmouth and we whacked 50 trout by 7:30. Next stop we caught 12 reds and 3 flounder. He wasn't done as Harold found some bass too. A great trip and I think Harold will be.... Read More

Today was a beautiful day today and I got to go fishing! Capt Jack and I left the dock at around 3:45 this afternoon headed for the twin pipeline. I started out with a Sweetwater Live Shrimp under a weighted popping cork but soon switched to the bottom upon my Copts command. There wasn't any tide movement and the water was smooth as a baby's behind but we still managed to put together a nice.... Read More
I took out Marc, Steve, Roan, and Marcel. Marcel was in town from Alaska for Jazz Fest so his brother Marc gave me a call and away we went. Marcel has not fished in La. in about 15 years . We started off in Breton Sound and put about 50 nice trout in the box. The bite faded so we made a move to Bay Eloi. First stop in the bay we hit the mother lode. Fish were flying in the boat as fast as you.... Read More
