January Inshore Fishing Report — Delacroix, Louisiana

January is a great month to be on the water in Delacroix as winter patterns settle in across the marsh. Cooler temperatures often bring more stable fishing, and this time of year consistently offers solid inshore action for anglers targeting redfish, speckled trout, and other marsh species.

Overall January Conditions

With winter in full swing, fish tend to gather in areas that offer steady water movement and comfortable temperatures. This makes January a productive month for exploring deeper bayous, protected marsh ponds, and areas with good tidal flow. Clearer winter water can also...

January Inshore Fishing Report — Delacroix, Louisiana

January is a great month to be on the water in Delacroix as winter patterns settle in across the marsh. Cooler temperatures often bring more stable fishing, and this time of year consistently offers solid inshore action for anglers targeting redfish, speckled trout, and other marsh species.

Overall January Conditions

With winter in full swing, fish tend to gather in areas that offer steady water movement and comfortable temperatures. This makes January a productive month for exploring deeper bayous, protected marsh ponds, and areas with good tidal flow. Clearer winter water can also
lead to increased visibility, giving anglers more opportunities to locate feeding fish.

Redfish Action

Redfish remain a reliable target throughout January. They can be found cruising shorelines, holding near structure, or settling into calmer pockets of the marsh. This is a great month for steady redfish action, whether you're looking for slot fish or hoping to tangle with larger fish that roam the system this time of year.

Speckled Trout

Speckled trout fishing can be productive during winter as they group together in areas with consistent conditions. Whether fishing deeper water or working areas with active tide movement, trout continue to be a popular target for inshore anglers during January.

Other Inshore Species

Black drum, sheepshead, and other winter-friendly species are also common across the marsh this month. These fish offer great action and are perfect for anglers looking to keep rods bending.

    Our day in Venice with Captain Rich was simply unbeatable. He tailored our time to catching the fish we hoped to catch and had prepared the gear and bait the way we prefer. He took us to some lesser-known, uncrowded locations where we caught our limit of redfish, several bulls and we could have done so all over again. A quick pass by another location yielded a trophy-sized triple tail also. My 11 year-old son was thrilled and had the best fishing day of his life so far! The guy is great, the boat is great and the experience will be long remembered. I strongly suggest you book with Rich when in Venice. "Fish on!"

    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.
