Separation, Please

21 hours ago

Please separate the fishing reports, putting the guides' reports under another title. Most of us can't fish everyday and we enjoy seeing the reports of the individual sport fishermen rather than that of the guides. Nothing wrong with reading the guides' reports and viewing the many…

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…

All right Catfisherman, let's hear your opinions on which type of catfish tastes the best.

Personally, after catching and eating my first flathead this past weekend at Bundick Lake it ranks #1 easy. I baked it Sunday, and tasted noooo, I mean no catfish taste (mud) at all. It was simply…

Marine Forecasts

Kirk Whitfield

August 14, 2012 at 5:55pm

After Reading the marine forecast for the past 2 days, I'm convinced that they have the slightest clue about the winds. I understand that it's an educated guess, but after it blowing 20-30 for 2 days, maybe updated it? Really nice to have 5-7ft seas in Lk Borgne yesterday and today.

5-7? Maybe I was in the wrong lake borgne today but there was a 2-3 ft chop today

Had some small cracks in some of the welds, discovered that the boat had some small leaks, and got scarred away.

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.

Yesterday at 3:24am

Day 2 with Zack Patterson and crew was even better then day 1. We did get off to a slow start, but we made a move and it was on. We had doubles and singles flying over the gunnels filling the belly of the big 2600 Blue Wave Boats. Double rigged Matrix Shad continues to fill the boat.…

Good luck on that. We went to a seafood market yesterday, and they wanted $70/dozen for live number one crabs. I think the world has gone mad. Needless to say, we will just catch our own.

Day 2 of the Houma Oilmans with Cardinal Services was a repeat of day one. All boats smacked the trout right in the face! Double rigged Matrix Shad as usual accounted for all fish. We were able to get our fish and beat the weather in, could not have worked out any better.
