If you can take over one of the most popular fishing ports in all of South Louisiana for a couple of days, you know your rodeo is something special.
The Mississippi River will be a key determinant on how the trout bite shapes up this month out of Delacroix, according to Capt. Mike Wittich.
For the uninitiated, redfish tournaments might seem the same as any other rodeo, where the heaviest fish wins. The difference is the introduction of the slot-sized fish; meaning only a certain length fish will do.
Weight deductions of half, to as much as a full pound, are assessed if tournament anglers bring in a dead fish. But it’s a delicate process to keep redfish alive in 90-plus degree temperatures in the blistering heat of Louisiana summers.
For even the most casual inshore angler, it’s hard to miss the redfish tournament craze that happens every spring and summer.
Capt. Nick Rando (504-281-8287) says the trout are still transitioning toward outside waters, so this months tactic is to intercept them mid-way.
Capt. Chad Dufrene (985-637-6357) is trying to think positive after this year’s brutal winter.
