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....

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.

Launched out of Golden Meadow, Louisiana to target redfish. We fished the marsh hitting points. Didn't have much luck. So I changed tactics to look for deeper moving water with structure. We free lined live minnows into the structure and pulled out 25 redfish. All redfish caught 16" to 27"....

Day 2 of the trip we decided to go after some bull reds. So we cast netted live mullet then traveled to the mouth of a deep cut that empties into Lake Raccourcie. Used cut mullet on bottom and caught 5 bull reds and a few bull sharks. After half of the day spent on fighting bulls we decided to head back to the spot we caught and released all the slot redfish the day before. We showed up and found the slot reds right where we left them.
