December still going strong

HAMMERED’ EM
Yesterday with the weather warming up the trout and redfish went wild. I had Pete his wife Deb, and Arron and Sarah who were in from NY City for the holiday’s doing some family fishing or should I sat catching. It was on from the start and the bite got better as the fog lifted. All under a cork with shrimp or plastic no difference. Awesome day to say the least and nice and warm for a few days before Christmas.

NOVEMBER FISHING REPORT HOPEDALE LA

Great Fall Fishing this past week in Hopedale LA. The speckled trout have been on fire every time I have been out. Plastics and live bait under corks. Where ever the tide is moving and pulling the bait shrimp with it. The birds have been active the last few day’s also if you see them they will put you in the area where the trout are. Anyway Great trips this past week LIMITE D OUT ON SPECKLED TROUT EVERY TIME. Redfish have been scattered along the shore lines and in the ponds.

TRICK OR TEAT TROUT!

TRICK OR TREAT!
Day before Halloween Trip turned out to be a treat Things started out a little slow but by mid morning we were 0on the trout over an oyster reef near lake Clabasse steady action until the limit was full of nice speckle trout. At first they would hit nothing but live shrimp but about half way thru started to take plastic along with the shrimp. We made a short run to a protected cove and finished off the box with some nice redfish and a huge flounder. Great day for Trick or Treating on Halloween eve.
Just a few short of the limit!

Got' em Again

Had Ray Loupe, Collin Murphy and Ray Laviolette on board yesterday and had a great day fishing. We got a little bit of a late start around 8:00 am but the first stop had trout coming in the boat. The bite did not last long as soon as the tide quit it was over. Ran little ways to find the tide starting to fall and got on a few more trout and a nest of redfish and the box was looking good. We found some birds working and wee catching trout every cast with only a few throwbacks but most going in the cooler, Left them biting and hit the dock at 2 :00 pm with a nice load of fish

OCTOBER FISHING FEST!

DOUBLE SMACK DOWN’S
Back to back last two days were pretty much the same story SPECKLED TROUT and REDFISH in the interior marshes in Hopedale. Both days got right on the trout early with live campo shrimp and plastic’s under corks. Fishing the moving tide at the mouth’s of lakes and points with moving water. After the limits were full on trout we moved a little closer to the shoreline and the redfish were there ready to take our shrimp and do battle. AWESOME two days and great fall weather. The Fall Fishing is ON some give me a call and come catch you some!

Hopedale Speck's and Red's

Had Mark. Mike , and Shawn on board yesterday great group and lot’s of fun. Started out in what looked like to be calm conditions but somebody kicked on the fan and the east wind was pumping like it has been the last few days. We headed to the edges of the outer bays and used the land to our advantage breaking the wind. Got right on some nice trout at our second stop throwing plastics a dozen in the box and we had to move on. That was the pattern for the day keep moving and building a box and throw live shrimp and plastic under corks. The trout were mixed in size but mostly keeper fish. With a box looking good we turned to MR REDFISH for some line stretching action. First pond and Mike was hooked up and the drag screaming. We worked this pond with Mark, Mike ,and Shawn each getting a bull red and several reds just undersize. Perfect way to end the day.

Great Fishing in Hopedale LA

Britt, Josh, Jeremy , and Mike made the trip to Hopedale ready for some spreckled trout and redfish action. These guy’s have been with me a lot over the years and they alway’s have a good catch and good time this day was no different. The windy conditions had things starting out slow but when we got on the speckled trout they were coming the boat steady with both plastic,s and live shrimp. Well the wind finally got to strong and shut down the trout. We hit some points and ponds and put some redfish in the box to top off the pile of trout. Great day with some really good guy’s. They can’t wait to come back in the fall and do it again.
