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…

Looking for good kayak fishing spots on Northshore

MandyL

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…

Mega Spike

LETUMGROW

August 24 at 3:34pm

This buck has been around my place for over 4 years now. He is summering then leaves around early October never to be seen again till the following year. He is 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 years old and nothing more the a big cow horn spike! I sure hate that he is out there breeding Does! Hope you enjoy the pics

Letumgrow, that’s a big old spike. Definitely needs to be culled. Surprised he hasn’t been seen during hunting dates, disappearing once season starts? Hope you take him out this season!

Lake Boeuf - Theriot Canal entrance

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…

Repeat customers from Shreveport were back with me on the big 26 Blue Wave Boats. The day started off with a beautiful sunrise first thing in the morning. We found some diving birds early, but mostly found white trout. We made a couple moves picking away at the specks mostly under Four Horsemen…

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…

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…

Insane action this morning on the big 26 Blue Wave Boats. Customers onboard were from Colorado and had never in their lives experienced a redfish bite like today. Non stop double, triple and quad hook ups. Complete craziness all morning long. They had the time of their lives, great fun watching…

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…

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…

I shot this big boar on Friday night a half hour after we got to the camp. When walking to the stand, I noticed my motion sensor light was on in the field. He was in there eating so no way to get to the stand. I snuck as close as I could. He was down on the first shot, but kicking. Not wanting to…
