Fishing down in Shell Beach Louisiana has been pretty steady considering the heat and rain we've been having. Speckled trout and redfish have been plentiful this summer!
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

Fishing down here has been pretty good considering how hott it's been the last few weeks. We've had some good tides and good bait moving in. 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.

The trout fishing around Grand Isle has entered our typical summer time pattern. Large trout can usually be found near our beaches when Mother Nature cooperates while larger numbers of smaller trout can be found on many of our inland reefs. Like everywhere else in the SE, it's getting hot as the sun rises so it's best to try to get it done early then seek out the A/C and a cold pop.

The fishing has been good, it’s hot of course, but the bite has been great early in the morning and later in the evening. Speckled trout have been doing really good under the birds, and the reds are pushing to deeper water to cool down, but the bit is still hot!

What a great day. Me and my 2 sons fished with Captain Jacob and had an amazing day. Had 3 limits of red by 7:00 a.m. and continued to catch reds non stop for about another almost 2 hours. Even managed to pick up a handful of specks on the way in. Will definitely book another trip with him.
