Last 12 days with strong winds and cold weather found plenty of trout during my last 10 trips. The reds are a little slow for the season and trout running big. Caught many 18.5 to 21 inch trout

Will Depass New Orleans, Louisiana Reported: 4 weeks ago

Dust off your 10wt - the big girls are in the marsh, the water has dropped out, and the forage is plentiful. Shots on big fish with explosive shallow water eats are a daily occurrence this time of year. The schools of bull reds have broken up and they’ve become more solitary as they prowl the shallow interior marshes hoovering up shrimp, crabs, and every living creature unfortunate enough to cross their path. The water has dropped out for winter, concentrating the fish and making them easy to spot. The wind can be a little unpredictable, but in between fronts, the fishing doesn’t get any better than this.

What's Biting in Louisiana

Tommy is the man! We fished the tail end of a storm today in not ideal conditions and he put me on em! We stacked up a limit of drum, tons of sheepshead, and two big bull reds in a half day trip (on what he described as an “off day” for Calcasieu. I can only imagine what an “on day” looks like…)

Trip: Louisiana Inshore Classic

Jacob is the man. We showed up and he was ready to rock. Boat was super clean, seats already set up, etc. We got to the blind and started shooting quickly and shot most of our three limits in ones and twos in the next two hours. We got skunked the day before in the same area without Jacob so we could appreciate each and every one of those birds. Would highly recommend.

William was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. He worked hard to get me onto fish and was as excited as I was when I hooked one. Thanks William, superb trip. Kyle Amundson

Trip: Sight Fishing For Redfish - Fly Or Spin
★★★★★
We had a good day on the water with Mike! A weather front was moving through the area on our day to fish, so consequently the bite was inconsistent. We were able catch several fish, bringing in 8 fish to clean. The fish we caught were spotted trout and white trout. I was hoping to catch a sheep head and some red fish, but they were not biting that day. The highlight of the day was catching a small stingray. I’ve never seen one in the wild before so that was pretty neat. Of course we had to release him. I have been with many guides and Mike was very professional.

Capt rich was very communicative with pick up and knew exactly where the fish were! Only took us about 3-4 hours to get a 6 man red limit. Great company too to have on board as a capt. Will be back for sure!
