Abita Springs, Louisiana
Reported: 3 years ago

Bulls are abundant. Speckled trout fishing is picking up, starting to see the first few flocks of Bluewing Teal migrating south this means the fall is getting ready to kick in and the fishing will be off the charts. Remember one trip with us and you're hooked!!!!

Ryan Williams Yscloskey, Louisiana Reported: 3 years ago

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.

Thank goodness the fishing is starting to get good. The past 2 weeks have been tough. But the Bulls are showing up after this full moon and they are hungry.

The fishing has been good. Constantly changing. We have been having to move around a lot to find the fish, but that's fishing.

Ryan was very welcoming with us and accommodating to us. He kept us fishing in some windy waters and was patient with the mistakes made due to the wind. We caught some redfish and some drum to fillet out. Will definitely book another trip with Ryan.

Trip: Extended Half Day Fishing Trip
★★★★★
Captain Ron was an amazing guide. He was funny and joked with us the whole time and he made it seem like he was a friend taking us to fish rather than a random guy who has a boat. We had two boats for the trip and there is not one negative thing to say about either guide. I’d tell anyone to book with Ron if they were fishing in Louisiana 10/10 times.

Jason worked hard for us in difficult circumstances…very windy and choppy. Regardless, we had a great time and he was able to find a spot that got us into some fish. Highly recommend him and his bait to anyone.
