With Capt. T Love on the bench he had to call in the benchwarmers to make his customers happy. We started out as cold as the water was but after a few warmup stops we found the motherload. Thanks Capt. for the trip. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Finished up 3 days with Connie and his Missouri Crew. The guys spent a few nights at the Reel Inn with Leonard and Zack killing it in the kitchen. The fishing was solid. Shawn P and I had the guys on the Bluewaves for the first 2 days focusing on big fish. Found some bull reds and the big drum were just about everywhere and very thick so the guys got a lot of action. Day 3 we spent soaking shrimp so the guys could take some fish home. Thanks Capt. SP, Leonard and Zack for helping me out. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-time fishingcharters.com
It was good to have Frank and Mike back on the Bluewave. The guys put the St. Croix Rods in their hands along with a Shrimp Creole Matrix under a cork and went to work. We finished the day off with some sheepshead. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
After a party night at the Reel Inn Rick and his buddies from Texas got to sleep in waiting for a front to pass. We got on the water around 10 and before we knew it we had trout nailing our Shrimp Creole Matrix. We had to bounce around to make it happen but at the end of the day the guys had a pile. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Petey Kern and the boys jumped on the Bluewave to find a slow bite where we had been catching. After about 30 on ice we relocated areas to find an everycast bite on Shrimp Creole Matrix under a cork. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com

The Bluewave was slimy after Richard West and his buddies put a beat down on the trout. Green Hornet Matrix was all they needed. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Did a show with Kevin Ford and Louisiana Outdoors Adventures TV. We slimed the Blue Wave finding an every cast bite on a Shrimp Creole Matrix Shad. Stuck the Powerpole down and used the MotorGuide anchor lock to keep us parallel to the bank. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Chase Neilsen came in from Texas and the guys put a beat down on the trout and then snuck some sheepshead onto the Bluewave before calling it a day. Matrix Shad in Green Hornet was the ticket. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Day 2 with Ronnie Woodliefâs crew was lights out. We thought the rain would get us but barely a sprinkle. Matrix Shad did the damage. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Day one for Ronnie Woodliefâs crew was fantastic! We started with slinging a bunch of throwbacks into the Bluewave but a little move the trout grew and were smacking our Matrix Shad. We pitched in a few heads as lagniappe. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Jason Garrett?s crew came down and slimed up the Blue Wave real good between the trout and the heads. A mix of Shrimp Creole and Green Hornet Matrix Shad made the trout jump into the K2. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Day 2 with Bobby Dixonâs crew was better than day 1. Doubled the trout and then had big reds and drum with every drop. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Day 1 for Bobby Dixon and his girls was pretty nasty. Winds were up and little to no sun until we got to the dock. We started chunking Matrix Shad for trout for a little while and switched to plan B which is what the girls came for, the big fish. Non stop action with the big girls. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Greg Barnes and his family jumped on the Bluewave for a great day of catching. We started the day off with shrimp jumping for their lives all around the boat and finished the day with the drag pullers. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Jason Farrell and his boy were down for a great trip. We made 2 stops on trout using Matrix Shad under a cork and then turned our attention to the drag pullers using cracked crab. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Mark and Hope were on the Blue Wave Boats and although the weather man missed the forecast they put a good lick on the fish. Started with Matrix Shad under a cork then switched over to some crabs on the bottom for some big fish. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
Craine Electricâs crew were back and ready to fish. We put a good lick on the trout and added a few lagniappe using Shrimp Creole Matrix Shad under a cork. Thanks Capts. Kevin, Shawn, Lonnie, and Hook for helping me out with the big group. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
It was Day 2 for Michael Anthonyâs crew and the guys walked across the street from the Reel Inn and jumped in the Blue Wave Boats. The young bucks jumped on with me. We found a consistent bite throughout the morning with a random bull red mixed it. Finished them off wearing them out on the big girls. Thanks Capts Shawn and Austin helping me out. Capt. Travis Miller Miller-timefishingcharters.com
You can still catch them in lakes especially the further north you go like Decade but they are also in the winter pattern in the marsh further south you go.
About a week and a half ago. I suck at putting up reports up between FB and Sportsman. I do a better job on my FB page tho.
Thanks. The boys had a good time.
Yep
This is Dularge. Iâm guessing you can search grand isle reports.
Instead of just âsayingâ guides catch all the fish and are ruining our resource and they are to blame for the drops here is some data from WLF. Recreational fishermen account for 84% while guides account for 16%.
I typically fish wind conditions more than tides. Basically meaning Iâm fishing leeward sides of lakes and bays unless there is no wind or very little. As long as the tide is moving Iâm usually happy. With that said if there is no wind or very little wind and I can fish anywhere, I usually focus more on prominent points rather than cuts, reefs that are located more away from cuts or in the middle of lakes and bays, and if I do fish cuts Iâll fish them on south side of lakes and bays where the water is flowing into a lake or bay. What I find mostly this time of year the trout will feed more heavily on falling tides so regardless of what youâre doing on an incoming tide the bite might not be as good. I typically find trout stack up on falling tides in or very close to cuts that have water coming out of the marsh and feed heavy on shrimp, as the tide slows, those fish spread out. So if you have a reef 100 yards away from a cut I typically will find a better bite on incoming tides in those areas. If all else fails donât over analyze it, keep moving trying different methods and when you find one that works try to mimic what you did.
Posted it yesterday (Saturday) saying it was trip from yesterday (Friday).
March is a transition month for trout so try to think of the highways they travel into the marsh because they are working their way out into the lakes and toward the Gulf to spawn. Crazy thing is right now trout are being caught in the marsh, in the lakes, and offshore but you have to be willing to move around and find them. Weather typically dictates where you can fish in March. Hard south winds you fish south ends of all the lakes, north winds you fish the north sides and so on. Hope that helps.
Sheepshead definitely get a bad name. Most clients either tell me they havenât had them before or like them but donât like cleaning them. But when you have me cleaning them I always say load the box ð
Thanks
I typically fish about 2ft under a cork for trout.

Redfishing was really easy up to about 2 weeks and then it got inconsistent. As it gets warmer I typically do both, hit points and cuts and deeper water ways. I will usually make a circle and depending on where Iâm at is what I will throw. One thing I do find is as it gets warmer the larger reds will go deeper while the 16-20inch reds will offer stay in the shallows.
Iâm not sure if this makes me somebody but Iâm glad Iâm not one of the nobodyâs. Lol I took Sunday off but Saturday I had Brian Puls crew and this is what they caught. I did here good catches on Sunday from 3 of my guide buddies.
It was hot ð
No clue since I rarely ever buy it unless I plan to head toward Cocodrie. Typically double rigged Matrix work.
They have a house boat just passed mud lake pass on the left selling some.
The water is publicly owned so the difference between other animals is that the fish wouldnât be able to go onto/over a personâs land if the land owner cared for his/her property and didnât allow something publicly owned to go onto its property. A deer travels on land so it can move. Hope that makes sense. Lol They did add amendments to the bill to protect duck hunters.
1. No access during duck season
2. Gates that were properly permitted prior to March 2, 2018 are allowed to stay.
3. No destruction to surface vegetation
