The water is warming up and bait is filling up the lakes and ponds. Redfish and Sheepshead have been pretty hott and the speckled trout are showing face now. The weather looks like it’s clearing up and we will be full force on the speckled trout this week.

Fishing down in Shell Beach, Louisiana has been pretty good this winter. The weather was stable and didn’t freeze out on us like it has the last few years. There is still plenty of bait in the interior marshes along with plenty of fish. Redfish and Sheepshead have been phenomenal. The speckled trout have been in and out with the cold fronts. This spring is gonna be great if this weather holds out like it is. The amount of bait we are seeing on the inside is a good sign that the spring/summer Speckled trout run will be off the charts. There are a few smaller rivers that are swollen up with the rain and melted snow from up north, but the Ole mighty Mississippi River is still down. That is a key factor on our trout run in our area. To much fresh water will kill off our oysters and altimatly push our bait out to the outside. Making us travel further for those Highly prized speckled trout. But all things considered, things are looking good for the Shell Beach and Hopedale area this year!!

The fishing has been pretty good down in Shell Beach. The weather has been up and down and so have the fish, but nonetheless, they have been biting. Redfish and Sheepshead have been really good the last few weeks. Trout have been off and on. In between fronts, the trout have been hitting pretty good. Live bait is non existent since the freeze, so we've been bringing Campos dead bait along with some of our favorite artificial baits to get that mixed box.

Fishing down in Shell Beach, Louisiana has been pretty good considering the unstable weather we’ve had. When it got cold for a few weeks the fish started moving close and stacking up, making it easy once you found the fish. Once it warmed up, they spread back out, and we had to go into our early fall patterns to find fish with any consistency. We still have live bait at the docks, so we still use it but it’s not necessarily needed. Throwing DOA shrimp under a cork or on the bottom has been great for us. Fish are scattered out some but once the temps drop back down this week, they will gather back up for an exciting and action-packed trip you won’t soon forget.
