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.

Fishing down in Shell Beach Louisiana this fall/winter has been absolutely phenomenal! The redfish and speckled trout have hit their winter patterns right on time this year. We’ve been throwing a lot of artificial baits and some live shrimp under a cork. Finding the perfect tidelines with bait in them have been fairly easy the last few weeks. I have been stepping away from the crowds of community holes and venturing out to find different fish that haven’t been so pressured. We have been working some really stout speckled trout deep in the ponds, and redfish have been tucked up tight on the banks. This cool weather has them eating up and looks to continue on this pattern for a good while.

Fishing down in Shell Beach Louisiana has been nothing short of amazing this fall. The cooler temps are really putting these speckled trout and redfish in their fall patterns. We've had a huge push of sheepshead the last week or 2 along with the already plentiful speckled trout. Running grass lines and oyster reefs for trout , throwing live shrimp or artificial baits under a cork and carolina rigging live shrimp and DOA shrimp have been a killer the last few weeks. The fishing is looking to continue like this for a good while.

With good tidal movements all summer along with plenty of bait, the fish are here, and hungry! We've seen an uptick in tripletail this year as well. The Red Snapper have been great also. We don't have much longer for the season to be open. But the this weekend for labor day, we have a 4 day weekend to target Red Snapper among many other species out there in the deep waters.
The fall should be phenomenal down here this year with plenty of Speckled trout, redfish and sheepshead.

The weather is hot in Nola but so is the morning fishing! With water temps reaching the upper 80s mid day the best time to target our slot fish this time of year is during the morning hours while the water temps are cooler and fish are up on the flats. During this time they are still hungry and eager as ever to take a fly

The speckled trout are devouring the white shrimp rite now. We are also throwing allot of artificial baits as well to target trout and redfish. The sheepshead will start to make their way inshore to start spawning once the Temps start to drop in a few weeks. But the big ticket is the big refish run thats going to start sometime next week and run through late October into November.
