“Hooray for October,” my old friend Capt. T-Man Cheramie (985-677-6294) said. “The biggest threat of tropical storms has passed, the weather is cooler, the humidity is lower and the fish are on the prowl.”[…]
When bass anglers approach a lake they haven’t fished in a while, their first question usually has something to do with what the fish are hitting.[…]
Lafitte is commonly known for relatively small trout — but this fall could be quite different, according to Capt. Lane Zimmer. He said a tough year last year could benefit the area this autumn, which means anglers will spend more time throwing speckled trout in their ice chest than on the measuring stick.[…]
Hot weather has redfish right where many Acadiana fishermen want them this summer — in the deep holes of bayous inside Marsh Island. And the good news is they’ll still be there in September.[…]
Baseball, it is said, is a game of inches. So, too, is speckled trout fishing.[…]
Blake Ittmann has been free-diving the waters south of Venice for only four years, but in that time he’s become pretty selective in what he shoots. Ittmann and his buddies could absolutely load the boat with tripletail at some of the platforms they frequent now, but there’s not a whole lot of challenge in that.[…]
So far, the late summer and early fall season has proven to be one of the oddest in years in South Louisiana. The weather is unseasonably hot, with the area absolutely destroying high-temperature records many days.[…]
Marsh Man Masson loves this time of year for a number of reasons, but not the least of which is the Mississippi River falls to its lowest levels of the year, and that sucks bass out of their secure hiding spots, and makes them very easy to catch along the roseau cane-lined passes, bayous and canals south of Venice, La.[…]
When there’s a big fall bite going on in The Cove, Cypremort Point anglers know that typically means speckled trout have finally moved in adjacent to camps and piers in an easily accessible spot on the east shore of Vermilion Bay.[…]
Fish are definitely still biting on Grand Isle — and right now you don’t even need a boat to get in on the action.[…]
If you’re one of those guys who sets your cork at a specific depth and doesn’t touch it again for the rest of the trip, you’re probably not going to catch a whole bunch of fish right now out of Hopedale.[…]
If you asked avid Louisiana trout anglers what their favorite month for targeting specks was, you’d be hard-pressed to find a single one that said September. However, that doesn’t mean trout can’t be caught — and after a long hot summer, one of the best places to catch during the transition is Bayous Liberty and Lacombe.[…]
Cooler temperatures and a slight north breeze greeted us as we launched our kayaks last Sunday at 6 a.m. at Ellender Bridge just north of Hackberry on the Intracoastal Canal.[…]
Christian Orfanello had some really bad fishing luck Monday, and he couldn’t have been happier about it.[…]
A 24-year-old LeBleu Settlement man died Monday night after falling overboard while baiting a trotline in the east fork of the Calcasieu River, according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.[…]
Kayak anglers are always looking to catch big fish out of their tiny boats. In coastal Louisiana, bull redfish easily fill the bill. They are hard fighters and regularly weigh up to 40 pounds. Plus, bulls are easy to catch in the right locations — and there’s no better time than the present.[…]
