Inshore Fishing in Southeast Louisiana

Tuesday night at a CCA meeting in Slidell he did it again. Besides sharing tips on redfish catchin in the marsh he explained WHY he chooses the equipment, presentation and location, best fit to the fisher people in the boat with him on that particular.... Read More

Real early start from DOCKSIDE with 100 live shrimp and 2 friends from work (guess they still my friends). Me, Mike and Chris headed out to win a small work related fishin tournament.

Almost to the wall and.... Read More

  • Headed for the grill
Decided at 7:30am to make a trip to my favorite 5 mile long reef. Quick launch at dockside at 8:30 and decided to try the hwy 11 bridge around mid lake. Half hour later moved to the south shore reef by the twin spans. No takers at either locn. Light fallin tide and light wind made fishin easy , catchin was another story. Made the move to the trestle and started chunkin around 174 at 9:30. Did ok.... Read More

Decided to try the lake this morning before the high wind prediction set in. Launched at Dockside, said hello to Mr. Bill and headed for my favorite 5 mile long reef at 5:45 or so. Tried the north end but dirty water lowered my confidence so i headed for old faithfull 174. Started pickin off a few right away and then the bite stopped. Moved past the small armada there and fished to 176+ where.... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Shell Beach / Hopedale / Reggio in Southeast Louisiana
Met up with Wayne about 6 am and made our way from the Rigolets to Byu Biloxi Friday to do some deep water exploring and try to avoid the expected crowds taking advantage of the only decent weather report for a while. Explore we did. Tried 4-5 spots that I have not fished in a while but have produced in the past and found a few throwback trout and 1 keeper red. Made the move to the deeper water.... Read More

  • Nice Biloxi marsh trout
Friday trip to the lake P bridges turned into a one more trip to Byu Biloxi to see if a limit of trout were still there. All I saw in the weather forecast was WIND: light, and variable, and some chance of rain. Didn’t see when the front was going to come thru.
Launched at Rigolets and made the quick run to Byu Biloxi across a choppy Lake Borgne. Headed for some deep water and started tight.... Read More

Inshore Fishing in Shell Beach / Hopedale / Reggio in Southeast Louisiana
Nephew had to work(crabbin) so Me and Wayne made the trip to the Biloxi Marsh. Fog had Slidell and the roads heading out of town a mass of confusion. Stop and go traffic on 433 started to back up at the salt byu bridge and stayed that way to hwy 90. Late launch at rigolets and slow ride to Lake Borgne was par for the coarse but 5 miles into the lake the fog was gone and we made the rest of the.... Read More
