Big thanks to our customers including Gary Hughes & crew, Steve Ller and Abita Lumber. I fished 2 days with Gary Hughes and his friends Steve & Carl. They busted up the trout catching 150 trout and a couple nice reds. LSU,Chicken On A Chain and Cajun Pepper Bayou Chubs is getting it done for us on a daily basis. Double rigs are working like a charm!! Its all offshore now as we are fishing anywhere between Whiskey Pass westward to SS 33. Big thanks to Capt Brady for fishing with Steve Ller & Abita Lumber as everyone caught some beautiful trout. We are booking trips right now for night fishing at the rigs! Night fishing will begin on June 15 and run through August 30. If redfishing is what you're looking for we have 3 surface drive 18ft boats to take you deep in the marsh where the bayboats cant go! No place for Mr Redfish to hide with the Pro Drives and Gator Tail boats!! Give us a call as we'll hook you up with 9 boats and 9 great captains with not one of them with less than 15-20 years of experience fishing the Dularge area. Lodging available for up to 25 people! Good luck fishing!

Dularge Trout Slam!
Great fishing on the DU! It was great having Jim Larrison & his crew back on the big Blazer Bay. They were really looking forward to their 3 day stay at the 'Lakehouse' and catching a bunch of yellowmouths. Jim has been fishing with me now for 14 years and they usually have great trips catching reds and trout. This trip was no exception as the trio consisting of Jim,Mike and George put a hurting on the trout. The first day they whacked the fish with Capt Josh Ellender early at their first stop filling the box with beautiful fat trout. On the second day the trio fished with me and by 10:00 we had our 100 fish on ice. Double rigged LSU,cajun pepper and chicken on a chain Bayou Chubs did the trick! Everyone crushed the trout as the fishing was as good as it gets! Always a pleasure having these gentlemen on board!! Good luck fishing.

Good Week Of Trout Fishing!
We enjoyed another good week of trout fishing but cancelled this mornings trips and may have to do the same tomorrow as the forecast is not looking good. Hopefully we'll get a reprieve from the weather as we have 6 boats schelduled to run tomorrow. As you all know the big numbers of trout will be caught in the outside waters and the winds won't allow us to get to the fish. I would like to thank all of our customers fishing with us including Paul McDowell,Ben Kirkland,Jim Larrison,Mike Baumann,George Schaubb,Pat Reesby & crew,and Sam Cooper. The fishing was great Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday with good numbers of trout but slowed down yesterday as the winds kicked back up. Big thanks to Capts Josh,Brady,and Ricky for their help with the customers this week. We have been catching our fish on double rigged LSU chubs and VUDU shrimp. Chicken On A Chain and Cajun Pepper chubs have been a close second! Good luck fishing.

VUDU SHRIMP
The VUDU shrimp craze has swept south Louisiana. Only a few select stores carry them. Just got word from John Eschete in Houma that he has 300 paks coming in today or by the latest on Monday. They won't last long!!! Call John at 985-226-4143 to place an order.

Wednesday Trout Slam!
Wednesday morning was looking real iffy with 80 % rain in the forecast. Lucas James and Pat Williams had just driven in from south Texas to fish in south Louisiana for the first time. Their 2 night stay at the 'Lakehouse' was not going to be ruined by a little rain & high winds.We got out early and found the lake to be calm to our surprise. We picked up 18-20 trout at our first stop before the wind came up and shut down the bite. We fished 2 more locations picking up a few fish at each stop. Our last stop we found them stacked up catching 35 fish in only 20 minutes to finish off our 75 fish limit. The guys wanted to sample a redfish on the grill and mission accomplished as we found a nice red along the shoreline for them. The guys are living right as we had rain all around us the entire morning and we didn't get a drop on us! Of course once we got back to the dock the sky fell with heavy rain. Good times with Lucas & Pat and they will be repeat customers as they loved what we have to offer in south Louisiana! Good luck fishing.

Tuesday Trout Slam
Spent a pretty morning on the DU catching hungry trout with Claudette Olivier. Took us 3 stops to fill her limit but we were in no hurry. Finished up before 10:00 and got back to the Lakehouse before the intense rain and storms moved in. Claudette had a ball reeling in trout all morning. Swim baits in bunker and blueback did the job for us. Should be a great article for her magazine with lots of good pics. Never had to go further than Sister Lake or Lake Mechant. Its all good on the DU! Thank you Claudette for a time and effort!! Good luck fishing.

Monday Trout Slam!
We enjoyed another great trip Monday slamming the yellowmouths. Ron Bartels & Kenny Olivier from Schriever,La along with Clinton Trahan from Sunset,La. joined me on the big fish catching blazer bay. It was a great morning to do the DU as the weather cooperated and the trout were hungry. My crew couldn't have been any better as these guys can fish and our 100 fat trout by 10:00 am proved it! Everything caught on swimbaits with bunker,blueback,blackback,and speckled trout colors putting a hurt on the fish. It was great spending a productive morning with these guys and especially with my old friend Kenny. It was Kenny who introduced me to Bayou Seveur for the first time about 35 years ago. I fell in love with the area and the rest is history! Anyway, these guys were slinging in fish faster than I could unhook them for a while. Thanks guys for a wonderful morning on the DU!. Hope to see you soon on your return trip 'DOWN DULARGE'! Good luck fishing.

Dularge Fishing
Finally a day off to catch up on my fishing trips. I would like to start off by thanking our customers for fishing with us the previous days including Mike Tate,Skip Speyrer,John McEntire,Ron Bartels,Claudette Olivier, and Lucas James. I enjoyed my trip with Mike Tate and his boys last weekend as we caught a good box of reds and trout. No full limits as the wind did us in early. Big fun with Mike and his sons as we made the best of the conditions that we were dealt with!! Skip Speyrer from Carencro, La. caught some nice reds and trout with Capt Rodney Bourque last weekend in the Lake Mechant area. Capt Josh Ellender had a good day busting up the trout with his customers. Swim baits in various colors are working best for us right now. Good luck fishing.

Dularge Report
Great trout action on the DU! Our trout fishing is about as good as it gets. The good news is that the trout have finally shown up at the island and ship shoal platforms. No need to go that far just yet as I've limited out by 10:00 am the past 3 days in the Sister Lake/Lake Mechant area. For you guys in the smaller boats,there are still big numbers of 16-20 inch fish in the lakes and bays. Bunker & blueback swimbaits,LSU chubs and VUDU shrimp are the only lures we have been using on a daily basis. All of our trout have been caught on flats & reefs as we have not fished the birds at all. Most of the fish we're catching are feeding on finger mullets and small 2 inch finfish. When the action slows on the swimbaits we switch to chunking the VUDU shrimp and it usually gets them going again. The 'gold' and 'natural' colors have worked best. Big reds are showing up back in the lakes and some really big flounder have been caught the past couple weeks. We're off to a great start as hundreds of fish were caught in April with the best fishing yet to come. Good luck fishing.

Dularge Trout & Reds
Enjoyed a great trip with Jeff & Carolyn Wright from Canada. Jeff operates a duck & goose hunting outfit and came down south to escape the snow & ice. Bad weather was moving in and we knew we had a small window to fish. We quickly hit 3 locations and struck silver at our 3rd stop. Jeff & Carolyn were slinging in reds and trout as fast as I could unhook them. Bunker swim baits did the trick. This couple were a real treat to fish with and they had a ball catching fish. Our fish were caught in Lake Mechant as Terrebonne parish is on fire from Montegut to Dularge! Thanks guys and I look forward to heading north this fall to hunt with you. Good luck fishing.

Tuesday Reds,Trout and Flounder
Spent a nice Tuesday morning in the marsh north of Lake Mechant with Lawrence Chatagnier,my son Chris and his best girl Roni Allemand. We were doing a photo shoot with Lawrence and boy did we get some great shots. We fished until 10:30 catching reds,trout and flounder. We were lucky to get the different species of fish and Lawrence brought back home plenty of fresh fillets. Roni burned up the trout and reds on the VU DU shrimp while the rest of us killed them on bunker swim baits. Big fun on the bayou for sure! We accomplished just what we wanted to do! Always a pleasure to have Lawrence aboard the big blazer bay! Good luck fishing.

Dularge Trout Fishing
Monday morning trout slam! Steve Coon,his dad Chuck and Travis Callais joined me for a quick trip to bust up some trout. It had been a couple years since Steve's last trip and it was great to have him back slinging in hungry yellowmouths. The crew jumped all over the fish at our second stop with bunker swim baits. Everyone got in on the fun as the trio were hooking up almost every cast. This particular reef only had 1-2 ft of water and the fish would come & go after the initial bite while sitting patiently with the power pole down. We fished until 10:45 and called it a day with a full box. We had trout,reds and flounder as it was a beautiful day to do the DU! Thanks guys for your business and we'll DU it again soon. Big thanks to Capts George Landry & Josh Ellender for wrapping up the 3rd day of fishing bwith Keith Bowman & crew. Josh slammed the big reds again while George worked his magic on the trout. Good luck fishing.
