Petey Kern was back again with his crew on the big 26 Blue Wave Boats. Our first spot started out slower than it has been. Lots of smaller fish busting shrimp all around the boat, while the bigger specks were away from the shrimp. Once the bite played out, we made a move and found a good bite of…

Great day with new customer Paul Scheurer and crew. We were able to get on a run of trout early before the wind picked up. Once the winds were up howling we took it deep into the marsh and broke out the bait shrimp. The heads, reds, and drum didn’t disappoint. Guys put together a great box…

My buddy's dad just bought a camp on Lake Catherine. We have never fished the area and are looking for some pointers. I know the train trestles can be productive, but don't really know how to fish them.

Is Lake Catherine itself worth fishing? Totally new to the area...

Grand Isle fishing in April full moon

Will fishing the full moon in April or May be productive with plastic baits and a cork around the State Park or will I need to get and keep live shrimp or market shrimp? Also will the water be too cold and I will need a chest wader? If I bring my boat, will the odds be better with better access…

fishing lake P

July 04, 2012 at 12:25pm

Just wondering how rough lake P gets around the twin span and train trestles? Too rough to fish out of a 15' bass boat? I know the lake is rough some days but on an average day what you recommend?

I got a 16 ft and in the lake I go with winds 10 mph or less only. That short ride from the dock can get rough.

Fishing Guide Pressure

April 14, 2009 at 9:14pm

I have several unpopular questions to pose to the many fishing guides who use this site. Do you think that the almost daily pressure you impose on your local fishery is having a negative effect? Do you think that you can harm the fish population with just rod and reel? When you hear the wor…

I heard someone say that they were fishing with someone and they would pull up to a spot, drop a wire in the water and if the salinity wasn't right they would roll to another spot. I guess they were testing the water till they found the perfect 'salinity' for trout and then Fish in that spot. Can…

you can buy a hydrometer at just about any petstore for saltwater aquraiums. i've actually used mine in lake P when i was trying to pattern the fish its kinda fun just to try and figure out what makes the fish do different things.

Good bank fishing spots?

Angler Management

January 03, 2014 at 3:38am

I usually have always stuck to beaches and piers around the coast but have recently been moving more towards inshore bank fishing. Due to the lack of a boat I'm very limited where I can fish so the open beaches are always nice.

I've gotten petty good at catching from beaches and…

@Angler Management I am in a similar situation. As far as where to go... Robinson Canal(below Houma) is a good place to find drum. It is not an open beach, but shrimp/dead mullet on the bottom will net you a few drum. Try the Matrix Shad tipped with a little dead shrimp at PAC under a cork.

I'm kinda new to inshore fishing w/ more of a background in freshwater bass fishing. However, now I'm completely spoiled after catching a few trout and some good redfish. Man, there's just nothing like hearing that drag zing when you hook a good red.
