Beginning in the late summer, I started finding undersized redfish throughout the marsh. The fish were a welcome sight because for the last three years, small reds were nowhere to be found in the ponds, bayous and bays I frequent.
Those fish gave me hope for the winter, when I figured they’d be legal-sized and just as thick, since Louisiana’s slot limit would provide them protection.
Sure enough, those fish gobbled white shrimp throughout the fall, grew incredibly rapidly and are now big enough to harvest. I got on a crazy good bite this week at the mouth of a bayou that drains a large pond.
