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…

Tough Fishing

Capt. Marty LaCoste - Absolute Fishing Charters

Yesterday at 3:53am

Helped out Capt Travis on this trip. Tough fishing the last few days, between the sharks, trout not wanting to bite and 100’s of gaff tops. Lots of running around.

Thanks Capt’s Shawn and Jared for taking care of Drew and Craig’s crew for me. …

Capt. Marty LaCoste - Absolute Fishing Charters

Yesterday at 3:51am

Gaiennie Lumber crew was here for their second trip of the year. We wasn’t sure about the weather but we woke up and skies looked clear. We found pretty water and started catching right away on double rigged Matrix Shad. The problem was the sharks were so bad it was hard to get the fish in the…

Leatherjacket fish BEWARE

Lordbud7

October 30, 2013 at 11:08am

Anyone here ever heard of a Leatherjacket fish? While throwing my cast net I caught why I thought was a Pogie. It was a little shorter than a Pogie and was really slimy feeling. As I went to pull it out it stuck me. I think it was one of its bottom fins. TOU TALK ABOUT BURN?!?! I figured it would…

Was it this fish? I have heard about them before, never caught one and honestly don't want to. Hope your hand gets better, a friend of mine had that happen years back and it took a couple of days for that pain to go away.

Cajun Sleigh Ride

February 24, 2019 at 7:28pm

Recap of a â€œCajun Sleigh Rideâ€! This one lasted about 10 minutes. It was a nice red that I was able to sight cast to on a very foggy day. I initially thought it was a bit larger than it really was. It turns out that the lure went through its mouth and came out the gill. So it was…

Another Good Beatdown

Capt. Marty LaCoste - Absolute Fishing Charters

July 21 at 8:44am

Day two with Wesley/Kelley Carambat and Durel/Anne Matherne was a little bit slower than day one, but we still put a good lick on the specks. No hot fast and furious bite, but a slow steady one. Double rigged Matrix Shad like always accounted for all of our fish. We stayed dry all day too,…

Short afternoon trip to south end of reef. Limit catch for two and left them biting. Fish hit clam and squid and flat fall jigs. Flat calm seas, gorgeous day, tasty dinner.

Lock on Stands

LA Av8or

July 20 at 10:16am

I mostly hunt WMAs as of right now and all I use is climbers. Do any of you prefer lock on stands for WMAs?
If so, which brand do you prefer? Which one is a good one to try out. And do you just leave you stand in the tree all season?

I usually fish out of IDJC (island south of PAC) but am looking to scope out a new area and I have the Leeville area in mind. There is a kayak launch down there and it looks to have a lot of broken marsh options. I expect to get into some reds, but also hoping to get into some SPECs so my…
