Kayak Fishing in Calcasieu Lake in Southwest Louisiana
Middle of last week. Birds working everywhere, not a boat in sight. Guess everyone else was working. Too bad

I caught this small shark in the yak near Pensacola. Even the little ones can be dangerous-especially in a kayak.

A good lip grip like a Boga Grip will help you get control of the business end.

After 2years of preparation, Me and my good Friend finally decided to tango with Rio el Diablo! The Devils River is no easy river! we had low water and 35mph headwinds the entire 15mile stretch, and the limestone rocks can easily take out chunks. We camped 2 nights and fished 3 days.

Kayak fishermen can enjoy Bayou Saint John again as it will open to Lake Pontchartrain soon. Does any one know if or what type of fish can be expected to return to the bayou?

Kayak Fishing in Louisiana
I'm relatively new to the area (Lafayette) and plan to take up inshore kayak/fly fishing. I moved here from northwest Montana where I fished rivers from rafts, drift boats, and inflatable pontoons. I also have a fair amount of white water kayak experience.

All of that said... I've narrowed my selection of kayaks down to two:
1) Jackson Cuda 14
2)Hobie pro Angler 14

I like the Hobie,.... Read More

Kayak Fishing in Fourchon / Grand Isle in Southeast Louisiana
Has anyone tried fishing the artificial reef structure off grand isle with a kayak? It looks to be 5+/- miles offshore in 50ish feet of water, but still within the 3mi boundary. Could make for some hassle free fun with our current snapper situation.

  • Brandon Barton with a nice red snapper.
  • I caught this one on my first drop. Fought like a truck.
  • Big shark, little boat!
Hit the beach in Pensacola yesterday. The Cobia and Kings wouldn't come out to play so we hit plan B. Checked out a few bottom spots and found some creatures willing to play,

Big Trigger, Big Snapper, Big Shark--Big Fun!

Everything caught on naked, frozen cigar minnows or Snapper Slapper jig tipped with a cigar minnow.

Kayak Fishing in Lake Pontchartrain / Northshore in Southeast Louisiana
I've been working in NOLA for a while and I have a serious itch to scratch with my kayak. I'm getting off early tomorrow and Manchac is right on the way home. I've never fished the maurepas area. Manchac is the only place I've seen that looks feasible to fish....well, that or Ruddock. If anyone can give a little insight to these places, I would appreciate it.

Winds are supposed to be around.... Read More

With the weather starting to overall warm up, except for a few mild cool fronts coming through every now and then, the fish seem to be starting to be on the move. What are good kayak spots for the next upcoming weeks ahead?
I am going with a buddy of mine this weekend, weve fished shell beach, just across the MRGO working the marsh to pick up a coupke trout, reds, and flounder here and there in.... Read More

I'm home on leave and forgot to bring the directions to the simi-new kayak launch in Lk Charles. This story of this launch was featured in LA Sportsman mag maybe last yr. I think it's sponsored by the Lafayette Kayak Club. Can anybody help me out w/ this info?
Thanks for the help

Kayak Fishing in Leeville / Golden Meadow in Southeast Louisiana
I have been during to get back on the water and school and work are finally giving me a chance this weekend. Can't decide if it would be better to fish Leeville around lake Jesse or I have heard a lot of people who enjoy fishing the sulfur mines around galiano..never been there so any advice on where to launch or which place sounds better for this weekend is much appreciated.
Thanks guys
Good.... Read More
