Today I fished with Michael Taylor, son Ben, Katie and friend Steve.
We launched from Lafitte Harbor Marina at 6:45 am and headed out to the Bay Round area. Winds were out of the north at 25-35 mph, which presented a challenge. Although the winds were high and the water was low and dirty, we still managed a good day with our day’s catch of 18 Reds, 4 Speckled Trout, 2 Black Drum and a Flounder.
I want thank Michael and his family for booking their trip with us and look forward to fishing with you again in the future.

I received a call from Ramone Mcdonald Jr. asking me to take him, his mom and dad out on a fishing trip for his dad’s birthday. He wanted his dad to enjoy his birthday catching Speckled Trout and having a good time on the water. We left the Lafitte Harbor Marina around 6:15am and headed south for Barataria Bay. The weather was almost picture perfect for trout fishing, the wind was calm, the tide had a good range and there was no rain in the forcast. When we arrived in Barataria Bay near Goverment reef we found many groups of Seagulls working the surface. They were chasing the shrimp that the trout chase to the surface. We caught 57 keeper trout and threw back many undersize trout, before heading south to try and catch some larger Speckled Trout. After making a few stops in the south end of the bay, we found a few more nice trout on a reef near Four Bayou Pass. We caught 20 more keeper trout and and six really nice Redfish that were chasing the shad along the shoreline.
Ramone had fished with me a few days prior to this trip and we limited out by 9:00am with 50 Speckled Trout. He and I both had a bull red on the line that morning, but his bull managed to break off and I landed my fish. He made the comment if he caugth a bull red, he was going to have it mounted, because he has never caught a Redfish that big before. This was the day to try and catch a bull with the wind calm and the gulf being slick as glass. I decided to run out into the Gulf of Mexico about a half a mile and see what we find. This is a good time of the year for catching bull reds if they are schooling on the surface. Well we found them doing just that, there were hundreds of Redfish in the 25 to 40lb class busting the surface chasing baitfish. I ran up to the school and Ramone, Julie and Ramone Sr. quickly had a bull red on the line. They were all excited to see so many fish in a school and to have one on each of their line. Ramone caught a 41 inch Redfish he kept to be mounted, Julie and Ramone Sr. Caught two really nice bulls that were over 25lbs. Julie’s first bull was 44 inches long and was close to 35lbs. They caught and released 10 bulls before we decided to go back to the marsh to catch some keeper size Redfish. I went to a shoreline where I have been catching some really nice reds, and the action was on, we caught 18 Redfish before heading back to the dock.
As the pictures will show, this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!
I want to thank Ramone, Julie and Ramone Sr. for a great day on the water and look forward to fishing with them again soon.

I fished with two guys Sid and Ramone from the New Orleans area. We left the dock at Lafitte Harbor Marina around 6:00am and headed south to Barataria Bay to try to catch Speckled Trout. The southeast wind was blowing at 10 to 12 mph and they had a pretty good chop on the water, so I decided to try the Port Sulfur area to start. We stopped at an island I like to fish on the east side of Barataria Bay, that has just about disappeared from the storms over the last few years. We caught 10 or so trout and moved on to try a few other spots near that area. We had 15 or so trout in the box, when the wind started to lay down and the water was getting pretty smooth. We went south to Coupe Belle Pass and found the Seagulls working on the shrimp popping out the water. This means there are Speckled Trout chasing the shrimp to the surface and the trout are hngry. We caught 52 keeper trout before the rain ran us out the bay. The guys asked about trying to catch some Redfish in the marsh before going back to the dock. I have been doing good catching Redfish in the Little Lake/ Turtle Bay area for the last few months. So we went to the south end of Little Lake and worked the banks picking up 5 nice Redfish and hooked 2 that broke our lines fishing with the Gulp Shrimp on a 1/4oz jighead. We were not fishing long before the rain caught up to us, and sent us back to the dock for the day. All in all we had a great day, and as always this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!
I want to thank Sid and Ramone for a great day and look forward to fishing with the again in the future.

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Sidney from Riley,NC. We left the dock at Lafitte Harbor Marina and headed south to Turtle Bay/ Little Lake area to try and catch some Redfish. Sidney said he wanted to try his luck on catching a nice red. They had a few thunderstorms hanging around just south of us this morning, that kept us from going much futher than Hackberry Bay. So our first stop was in Turtle Bay on the south shoreline. The wind was fairly light from the northwest and the water was semi-clear, but we did not have much tide movement at first light. After fishing a few hundred feet and not many bites, I decided to go into the shallow duck ponds just south of Little Lake. We saw many Redfish waking down the banks, but did not get many of the Redfish we saw to bite. We caught 3 reds on our first stop. We moved on to another group of ponds I like to fish, and this was the place we caught most of our fish. The first Redfish Sidney caught this morning was a real nice 28″ red that gave him a good fight. He caught many more this morning that were in the 25″ to 28″ inch size range. Both Sidney and I caught a few nice fish we released after we had our limit for the day. Sidney had a really nice Redfish that was about 30″ long run into the trolling motor and break his powerpro line, before I could get the net, or lift the trolling motor. We hooked 25 or so Redfish this morning before the thunderstorms ran us back to the dock around 11:30am. Sidney said he had a great time catching Redfish in the shallow duck pond, where you can see the fish waking down the banks before you cast to them. This was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!
Capt. Todd Dufour fished with Sidney’s business partner Ronnie this morning, and they too went to the Little Lake area hunting Redfish. They had a great day of catching Redfish also. They caught their Limit of reds, and caught and released a few more before they were forced back to the dock from the weather. Ronnie Caught a real nice 28″ Redfish with Capt. Todd also. Great Job Guys!
I have posted the pictures for the day and the pictures will tell the truth.
All the Redfish we caught today were caught casting Black/Chatruese Tail H&H Cocahoes with a 1/4oz jighead on 30# PowerPro line.
I want to thank Sidney and Ronnie for fishing with Capt. Todd Dufour and Myself Capt. Scott Poche`this morning. It was a great day on the water guys and we look forward to seeing you again in Oct.
