Jon Shreve and wife joined me, we experienced a very slow bite all day with mostly undersized fish. Kim Absher and husband jumped onboard with me to redfish. First few stops all we could catch were drum, several big nasties with a couple pups. A 34.5 pound flat head catfish even decided to jump onboard with us!!! The tide finally started moving at our last stop and they started catching some reds. Cracked crab on bottom accounted for all of our fish. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Good times with Cory Must and crew on the Blue Wave Boats again. The guys put a good catch together fishing shrimp creole Matrix Shad under Four Horsemen Tackle corks. Plenty under sized trout released, as we are finding thousands of small trout everywhere. Thanks Capt K Labat for running the second boat with Holly Salazar and husband. They had a great time also with a good catch. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com

David Deshautelle was back onboard the Blue Wave Boats again celebrating his sons 16th birthday. We weeded through tons of small fish once again. Shrimp creole Matrix Shad under Four Horsemen Tackle corks accounted for all of our fish. David even caught his largest redfish to date. Fun times guys, thanks again. Thanks Capt Shawn P for taking care of Charles Georgel, they had a blast. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Toby Rich and crew were back onboard the Blue Wave Boats. Tons of small trout have made their presence, so you have to catch about 100 fish to keep 10! We weeded through them with double rigged Matrix Shad and Shrimp Creole Matrix Shad under a Four Horsemen Tackle corks. Guys put 66 keepers on ice before calling it a day. Thanks Toby for the continued business over the last 12 years. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Dennis Oates crew from Texas were back onboard the Blue Wave Boats again. We found the fish pretty stacked up and started slinging them above the gunnels early. We had tons of small fish and trash fish to weed through but the end result was a box of fish. Double rigged Matrix Shad as usual accounted for all of our fish. Great time again guys. Thanks to Capt T Miller for running the second boat. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Trenton strange and crew were back with me. Winds were up, so we stayed protected and picked at a few fish. Lots of small fish with minimal keepers. With nothing happening we decided to hit the rough water and take a gamble on getting on some big trout. We found ripping hard currents that were Un fishable but the water was beautiful. We tried 3-4 locations, then headed back to where we started. We picked off a few more then headed in. Tough day with not much to show. Thanks guys for sticking it out, we definitely put in the effort but the fish won. Another tough day with Danny Cavellâs crew. High winds again had us staying protected first thing in the morning. We moved out in rougher water hoping to get lucky, but only found a handful of fish. We fished five more locations long and hard with zero to show for our efforts. Came back to protected waters to find nothing but 10-11 inch trout. Another tough one. We worked hard for little results. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Richard Gaiennie with Gaiennie Lumber and son Edward were back with me on the Blue Wave Boats. Most of our morning was slow picking, but our last stop ended with a bang. Every cast action on double rigged Matrix Shad. Good times as always with these guys, thanks Richard. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Mike Lanier and crew joined me on the Blue Wave Boats. We started where we smashed them the previous days, but the gafftops were so bad we had to move. We got on a great run of nice specks at our second spot, and low and behold a googan motors within ten yards and shuts the bite down!! Then turns around and motors over a second time, got to love it!!! The rest of the day we picked away at them until the heat was unbearable. All fish caught on double rigged Matrix Shad tight lined. Thanks Capt Labat for putting James Stansbury and boys on the trout. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Dallas Dunaway and crew jumped on the 2400 Blue Wave Boats and smashed the specks. It was fish on every cast as soon as I locked the troll motor in place. Double rigged Matrix Shad put a hurt on them and we did catch one of the biggest trout of the morning under a Four Horsemen Tackle corks. At 8:30 I had a crew member get sea sick and we shut it down and headed in. Incredible morning, thanks guys. 985 856 4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Joey Amorello was back onboard the Blue Wave Boats and his crew put a Smackdown on the trout!! We caught about 20 fish on live shrimp under Four Horsemen Tackle corks and 80 on double rigged Matrix Shad. At 11 with the heat cranking the guys called it quits with 100 nice specks iced down. Great time with these guys! Thanks Joey for the continued business over all these years. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Round two with Willie Pippenâs crew was a night trip, the guys brought their oldest kids with them. We were greeted with perfect conditions all night. Calm winds, seas, and a decent tide. The fish however didnât get the memo. We fished till 2 am only catching 7 trout, they just never turned on for us. Thanks guys for sticking it out, we gave it our best! 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Good times on the Blue Wave Boats again. My two man crew put some nice specks in the boat along with some pompano, all on double rigged Matrix Shad lures tight lined. Once the heat machine was cranking, we set course for the dock!! Thanks Capt T for setting up the trip. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Willie Pippen and crew joined me on the 2400 Blue Wave Boats. The guys brought their youngest daughters on their first fishing trip. They got to experience two fast and furious runs of big trout every cast as soon as the double rigged Matrix Shad lures would hit the water. Great time and great experience for the youngsters and Dads!! Willie even got him a nice triple tail on matrix which doesnât happen very often. Great day. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Sparrows crew were back on board the Blue Wave Boats and they experienced a incredible trout slam. We started off the morning with a good run of 16-18 inch trout. When the bite quit we made a move and started catching 17-20 inch trout. A couple reds and pompano took a ice bath also. Double rigged Matrix Shad did the damage as usual, what a awesome time with these guys. Thanks Blake Chiasson for putting the trip together. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Pre scout Night trip for Seths birthday was a success. Rough seas most of the night but the trout cooperated for us on double rigged Matrix Shad. Boys had the time of their lives. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Sid Lyons was back onboard the Blue Wave Boats with me. The morning started off slow, but we found them stacked up and had the trout coming in every cast on double rigged Matrix Shad. Great day guys, thanks. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Chris Erny and crew made it onto the Blue Wave Boats after having to reschedule several dates. With the winds up again, we had to fish protected waters. We picked up some of that live bait stuff and headed out in search of clean water. We found plenty clean water and a slow bite. The guys picked away at the trout all day under Four Horsemen Tackle corks before heading in. Thanks Capt Labat for running the second boat. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Gaiennie Lumber crew were back with us onboard the Blue Wave Boats. With the wind up, we decided to soak crabs. Big fish competition and red with most spots would win the money pot! I had a all ladies crew and they sure had fun reeling in some beast!! The ladies won big fish with a bull red hitting 30 pounds. Always a pleasure fishing with the Gaiennie crews. Thanks Capt T Miller, Capt SP Whitney, Capt K Labat for running the other boats. 985-856-4477 www.absolutefishingcharters.com
Thanks
I fish between West Timbalier island and Blue point rigs. Everything in between from the marsh to 20 miles out in the Gulf.
Purple haze, green hornet, avocado, shrimp Creole, Tiger, glow have all been putting them in the boat.
Only plastics I use is Matrix Shad
Smooth puffer fish
No one is selling live shrimp in Dularge. You can buy live shrimp in Cocodrie or from the Tracie Macie bait boat depending where he Is located.
Tuesday
I only fish in Dularge!! Launch from my camp everyday I fish!!
We left from my dock at the end of Dularge past Jugs. The tide was falling when we were on our best bite and water temperature was 64 degrees. We had a strong South wind so we had to stay protected on the South banks out of the wind, this is where we found the cleanest water also. Fish are starting to show back up on the inside waters (lake Mechant, Sister Lake, etc) all the way down to the coast. So far things are pointing to a good trout bite this Spring.
Your right about that!! No one ever has said 'wish I had worked more' Thanks, it definitely was a special day. He hasn't stopped asking when can we go again!! I plan to take him more in the future for sure.
Sister and Mechant areas mostly. Hearing multiple good reports from Decade also, but I haven't been there personally.
Trout have been almost everywhere. We have been focusing on reefs, points, and current lines.

Find clean water is most important. We haven't seen and shrimp or birds diving yet, hopefully they will show up by the weekend.
No, it has not been marked.
Correct its a Ridgid reciprocating saw the handheld model. Can be bought at Home Depot or you can also contact Andrew Messenger 225 329 3295 he sells the knifes and the blades. We use them to clean all of our redfish, drum, and sheephead.
No sir I run a Bluewave, best bay boat on the water.
Mostly all school trout right now, having to weed through hundreds of small fish. Seems like each day though more keepers are showing up.
Right now I'm not 100% sure. If I had to make a guess I would say no.
Right before, been super busy.
