Capt. Nick Poe just knew back in June he would be having one of the most hellacious fall and winter fishing seasons he had ever experienced on the Calcasieu estuary.[…]

One of the things that most intimidates me about fishing inshore saltwater fish as opposed to freshwater fish is how much more vast the playing field is.[…]
Dr. Bob Weiss knew where some keeper trout were holding. He knew he could yank up his anchor, start his motor and high-tail it to feeding speckled trout at the L&N Bridge in the Rigolets.[…]
Nash Roberts IV is a big fan of artificial lures, only turning to live bait during the hot days of June, July and August.[…]

The annual Grand Isle Speckled Trout Rodeo is set for May 25-27, and there’s no better place such an event right now. Setting out from Bridgeside Marina in any direction will land you on fat and hungry trout.[…]
It would be tough to find a hotter fishing team in America right now than Marcus Rieffel and Jim Tumey.[…]
