Today I went fishing in Point aux chenes and hooked into a good 20' Redfish. At first glance it was a normal fish but after i got it in the boat did i realize this Redfish has no spots. So i googled Redfish with no spots and i read a few articles and they all say that no spots is extremely rare…

Black Drum Question

Geaux_Coastal

August 10, 2007 at 9:54am

I have been having a blast catching large black drum during their annual run lately. I noticed on the larger drum that it seems like their guts are coming out of them, is this normal? There is a lot of red tissue protruding from the anus. The limit only allows for one fish over 27 inches, so…

The best boat

ahlangle

June 23, 2011 at 10:45am

In your opinion, what is the best bayboat being made today?

I am looking for something that is heavy enough and big enough to run out to some shallow rigs and catch snapper once in a while, but mostly for inshore fishing Venice, Buras/Emprire, Big Lake, etc. If money were no object, what kind…

New World Record White Trout Shatter All Previous Records

Mike Guerin, Louisiana Sportsman Field Reporter

July 17, 2005 at 3:11pm

There is a new world record white trout that has eclipsed the old record by well over 400%! This is highly unusual. Usually long standing records are broken by weights that often measure in ounces not pounds, much less many tens of pounds!

This behemoth was caught out of Venice Marina while…

Contact 'B&J Seafood' on Paris Rd. in Chalmette, LA and/or 'Today's Catch' on E. Judge Perez Hwy., Chalmette, LA! You will probably have to pass both when driving to Delacroix.

Iv'e heard good things about Fish hound or fishound. Best thing is that you dont need connection to log data. It stores on your phone so having 'service' is not necessary. Only one i ever heard of.
