Pontchartrain Specs, Redfish, Anything...(looking for advice)

December 03, 2020 at 3:11pm

I'm hoping someone can give me some advice for getting on some fish on the northshore or even somewhere within decent driving distance of Mandeville.

My dad has a hobie kayak that he lets me borrow whenever I want, and I've decided I should get some more use out of it. I've…

March 14, 2018 at 1:52am

I just bought a kayak for fishing, looking for some good fishing spots to launch from on the Northshore. Just moved to the Pearl River area last year, so I've fished Cane Bayou once and today Bayou Lacombe off of Main Street. I'm not having any luck. I'm a little frustrated, bc I've not fished…

Lake Boeuf - Theriot Canal entrance

LAMan

October 13, 2020 at 8:34pm

It's been about almost two months since I went to the lake from Theriot Boat Launch. Last time I went the entrance to the lake was almost completely blocked by a small floating island and a mass of lilies. I barely made it through into the lake. I guess there is no maintenance by the parish…

Mississippi Guy Battle the winds

Capt. Marty LaCoste - Absolute Fishing Charters

October 23 at 5:19am

Day 1 post front with a crew from Mississippi. The guys knew it was going to be tough fishing but just wanted to fish and have fun. Zero tide all day and high winds made it a challenge, but the guys pulled through with a mess of fish. Cracked crab and bait shrimp on the bottom accounted for all…

October 22 at 8:26am

Tough conditions today for my Texas crew on their second day fishing with us. Winds were blowing 25 mph when we left the dock and got up to 30, it was brutal out there! We took deep to the marsh to try and hide as much as possible, but there was no hiding. My guys slowly put a mess together of…

October 22 at 8:04am

I helped out Capt Anthony today with a group of guys from Illinois that’s working on the power lines. They worked over the bulls all morning long. Once they had enough of the drag pulling we switched modes to trout. The winds were up at this point so we didn’t hit them hard but caught enough…

Du South Fishing Charters

October 19 at 5:43am

Day 2 with the Loves from Kentucky. It was a little windier, but the fish didn’t seem to mind. We checked out a few areas that I typically like to fish later in fall. We didn’t find as many fish but they had some nice fish mixed in. We kept picking away and ended up with another nice box of…

Incredible morning with Tyler Picou and his dad. Started the morning smashing the specks on double rigged Matrix Shad. With 60 in the box I made a move to a reef and caught the last 15 quick and left them biting under Four Horsemen Tackle corks with any color Matrix lures you put on. Thanks guys…

Was not gonna bother with trying a Lake P trip,based upon predicted wind speed and direction and thought perhaps a T-Funky trip might be a decent plan B and had fairly low expectations once I saw flag at Bill Hood Chevy in Covington,looked like S winds were ripping at least 20 mph!!Got to…
