The fishing has been pretty good considering the late cold fronts that have passed by. Speckled Trout are showing up in good numbers and the Redfish have been incredible. We have been getting consistent live bait which means it’s trout season. We are here for it!

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.

    Mackie put us right on the fish from moment we anchored and guy was on his job as a guide. Then after we put the specks up moved us to a spot where we landed a 40inch red. Definitely booking with him again made memories of a lifetime today!

    My wife and I fished with Captain Frenchy. It was a great time and he worked hard to continually put us on fish. Cpt Frenchy is a pleasure to spend time with and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to catch fish and have a great time on the water.

    Trip: Trout And Redfish Full Bite

  • ★★★★★
    Best charter experience! The captain was very easy to communicate with prior to the day and was obviously looking to provide a great experience. It was easy to see he was also excited when we caught a record breaking red drum and alligator gar plus a numerous variety of other fish. We will definitely be back!

    When I tell you a time was had!!! We had a group of 6 so we teamed up with Capt Shawn and Capt. Chad. The laughs started within 10 minutes of arriving to the dock! Both captains were very experienced, knowledgeable, hospitable and definitely made sure they put us in the best spots to catch fish!! We hooked multiple bull reds, speckle trout, sheepsheads and drum!! Definitely will be booking again very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Trip: Inshore Fishing In Louisiana

  • ★★★★★
    I recently went duck hunting with Captain Jacob and had an excellent experience. He was professional, courteous, and easy to work with. When the weather forced us to reschedule at the last minute, he handled it without any issues, which made the whole process stress-free. The duck blind was clean and comfortable, and there were plenty of ducks flying overhead throughout the hunt. At the end of the day, Captain Jacob even cleaned and butchered the birds for us, which was a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well-run guided hunt. I’m already planning to book with him again.
