Chris Macaluso is a very good speckled-trout fisherman, but that probably wouldn’t be the case if his dad hadn’t toted him along to Grand Isle during at least one summer weekend a year.[…]
The goggle-eye is, with the possible exception of a spawning bull bluegill, the prettiest of the bream clan. Males are especially beautiful, with a body mottled with bright orange and olive and a bright red spot behind each gill cover and at the rear base of the dorsal fin.[…]
Now, tossing a hard bait with two exposed trebles into the middle of a topped-out hydrilla bed is little more than an exercise in futility.[…]
When nature loses her puff down around Grand Isle during late April and early May, Capt. Vernon Ledoux knows that the big trout come out to play.[…]
This large species of bream is properly called a “warmouth.” Its large mouth —larger than any other species of bream — and its more-elongated body shape have led some people (who should know better) to believe that they are hybrids between bluegills and bass.[…]
Hackney’s approach for warm-season grass jigging is all about forcing the issue: He’ll flip the ¾-ounce version of his signature Strike King Hack Attack jig with either a Rage Craw or Twin Tail Menace Grub trailer, targeting those edges, points and gaps where fish will be looking for easy meals that don’t require much effort.[…]
This species, with the book name of “green sunfish,” is one of the most interesting of Louisiana’s bream species.[…]
Similar to the jig approach, but tailored for reaching deeper into the slop, punching enables anglers to scare up some mean grass action.[…]
Sunfish hybridize more than any other family of freshwater or saltwater fish. Often a successful day will yield 200 bream, and it’s a rare day when at least one hybrid between species isn’t in the bunch.[…]
A leading artificial lure manufacturer’s newest pride and joy jumped like a real frog to the forefront of bass fishing circles in and around Louisiana very quickly in early 2013.[…]
When you hear “Phfffffftt,” you know a strutting tom is close and it is time to get ready.[…]
Look at a map of eastern Louisiana, from Bastrop to New Roads, and you’ll realize the power of the mighty Mississippi. Over millennia, the great river has carved out dozens of deep waterways, most of which have become isolated from the river’s flow. […]
Dear Capt. Paul:
I have a new camp in Cocodrie, and I’m learning the area. I was hoping to hit some of the shallower rigs for a few lemonfish and perhaps even some snapper.
Do you have the coordinates for the Mardi Gras and EnStar rigs that are supposed to be near the shoreline?[…]
The gray snapper — usually called the mangrove snapper — is one of 14 Gulf of Mexico members of Lutjanidae, the snapper family.[…]
The Ontario Knife Company’s International Hunter Pack features a fixed blade and folder combo so you’ll always have the ideal knife whether building an emergency shelter, field dressing big game, or doing day-to-day tasks around camp.[…]
