  • Pop displaying one of the many of Michael's redfish.
  • Day 1 haul.
  • Day 2 haul.
Well the last two days I got to do one of my favorite things in the world. Fish with my Pop, and my little brother. They were down from Shreveport staying with me for a couple days and we made a couple trips. Day one started out windy so we motored down to the rocks to see what we could get rolling. Water was dirty and bite was slow at first but managed to start putting a box together under.... Read More

  • Bull red pogie boat fishkill.
A few days ago I was motoring across Breton Sound and came across a horrible sight... Thousands of big mature redfish flying dead on the surface. They went on for miles and miles. I know anyone out there recently can confirm this. I took pictures and video. The fish were stacked up in a rip line with 'pogie foam'. That nasty brown foam that is a byproduct of pogie ships harvesting. The.... Read More

The guys drove in this morning early, so we could get an early start then, we headed to Campo's to get some of their famous live shrimp, guaranteed to catch fish or die trying. You can't go wrong.... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Shell Beach / Hopedale / Reggio in Southeast Louisiana
Hello everyone. I have been an avid reader of this site for years. Most of that time has been with pure envy as I read fishing reports from so many of you.

I've done surf fishing and bank fishing all my life, but never had access to a boat. Well that changed over the winter with a 19ft bay boat with a 150HP motor!

My buddy and I spent the winter fishing Hopedale launching out of BSM. We.... Read More

  • It was the Bay Stealth that died not my vintage Spartan.
My buddy Jay and I headed out of Breton Sound Marina around 5 AM Wednesday morning looking forward to a trout slam on the rocks. We were headed out via the Spoil Canal when the motor died. We could not get it going. Thank God for our SEA Tow membership! Hot Rod of Sea tow was on his way from Slidell and we bided our time fishing on the bottom for monster gaff tops. Around 9 AM Capitan Guidry.... Read More

I was fishing with clients on Saturday when the inevitable happened. I was barely idling in the MRGO making an adjustment for my clients, when Bam! I hit a pipe and stalled out my motor. I didn’t hit it hard and thought I’d be okay, but when I put the boat back in gear, it was obvious I tore up my lower unit. I called Captain Frank and Captain Markham to pick up my guys and continue fishing..... Read More

  • Catching redfish runs in our family. Here is my sister with a nice red drum.
Launched out of Hopedale Sunday with my sister Kelly. Late night graduation activities, no sunrise start. The SE winds were 10-15 mph, a tad bit high, so we skipped the original destinations (Two Trees, Machias, etc), and went Plan B, the lagoons off Loutre.

It worked out reasonably well. We got a mixed box of reds, 1 large sheephead, and a few trout. Also had some throwback reds, trout,.... Read More

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with my good friends: Greg, David, Perry, and Rene. They came in and spent the night at the lodge so that we could get an early start at the Marina. However, we didn't beat the crowd, it looked like everyone else had the same idea. We fished the edge of Breton Sound where got onto a couple of good trout bites. We ended the day.... Read More

  • A day's catch
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of fishing with Tim Carlisle and his friend Al Russo. The fishing was great as long as we worked for it. We caught fish at every stop until we made the day. We ended the day with 50 trout and 4 reds. It was Al’s first time fishing in Louisiana and he’ll be back!

Had a great couple of guys fishing with me yesterday. Stan and Chad are long time friends and fishing buddies and were in for a treat out there Thursday. We had almost perfect conditions with calm seas, and nice strong incoming tide. Water was a little dirty but the fish did not seem to mind. Made a long run like a shot out the barrel into the Sound for our first stop. Couple fishermen.... Read More
