Tuesday Aug.11th
Today I fished with John Wisniewski from New Orleans area and his brother-in-law Reggie Sinclair from Mount Hutton, Australia. We left the dock at Lafitte Harbor Marina around 6:30am this morning, wanting to go out to Barataria Bay to try and catch a few Speckled Trout. But that was not in the cards this morning. There was a huge thunderstorm sitting right over the bay, it was raining and the lightening was pretty bad. So we decided to go to Little Lake area and try to catch a few reds till the rain moved off. But it did not clear out all morning. We stayed in Little Lake all morning catching Redfish. The fishing was a little slow for the early part of the morning, with the wind near calm and the tide at slack, the Redfish did not bite very well. We watched many fish swim right by our baits, without as much as look at our lures. We did manage to put a few in the fish box before the tide started falling. After the tide started moving we caught some really nice Redfish. Reggie caught his first Louisiana Redfish this morning that was 28″ long and said he enjoyed the way they fight on light tackle. John, Reggie and myself Capt. Scott caught our daily limit of 15 Redfish. John caught a few nice reds as well. We managed to hide from the thunderstorms and stay dry all day, which was a plus for the way the weather started out this morning.
All the Redfish we caught today were caught on Black/ Chartruese tail Bayou Chub Minnows on a 1/4oz jighead fishing tight line.
I want to thank John and Reggie for booking their trip with myself Capt. Scott Poche and Crescent City Fishing Charters Inc. I enjoyed fishing with you and look forward to doing it again in the future.

I had the pleasure of fishing with a great guy Catfish Brousard from Toledo Bend area. We left the dock at Lafitte Harbor Marina at 6:00am and headed south to try and catch a few nice Redfish, and that we did! we ran and fished an area near Hackberry Bay that I have caught Redfish in the past. This is a shallow water marsh area where when the water is decent you can see the Redfish tailing in the grass. For the first hour or so we did not do very well, we watched the Redfish swim by our baits and not many bites. I caught 4 redfish on a Black/ Charturese Tail Bayou Chub Minnow, while Catfish threw a spinner bait with a Electric Chicken cockahoe. The spinner bait was not doing well, so head changed to what I was throwing and we started catching fish. It was slow with not much of a tide range. You need a moving tide to catch Redfish in the marsh. They will not bite very well if the wind is calm and the tide is slack. But we did manage to catch our limit of 10 Redfish and threw a few back before heading in for about 10:00am. There were a few nasty looking thunderstorms all around the area, and we did have to seek shelter from a friends camp for a few minutes. When the rain passed we went back out and finished our limit. Catfish was ready to go in when we had our limit, but the rain was stopping us from making it back to the marina. So we fished for a about an hour till the rain moved off and it was safe to head to the dock. We had a good day catching Redfish, and I enjoyed fishing with Catfish Brousard. He is a great guy to fish with and I look forward to doing it again in the future. And as always this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Best!

I had the pleasure of fishing with Brad from the northshore area and his friend Sarah from Pensacola area. We left Lafitte Harbor Marina at about 6:30am and Brad told me he was registered in the New Orleans Oilman Classic fishing rodeo. He wanted to try and catch a Redfish to enter in the under 27″ catagorie, so we headed south to an area I have been catching some really nice Redfish for the past few weeks, this is no secret area called Turtle Bay/ Little Lake area. We did not do very well for the first hour or so, so I decided to go try some shallow marsh I have been fishing from time to time, and it was the right place to try today, we caught our limit of 15 nice Redfish and released another 5 Redfish, none of which we could use for the rodeo. We did have a Redish that was 26″ long, but he was only around 6 to 7 pounds and would not do very well on the board. So I decided to try fishing the outside edges of the bays, this is where the better size Redfish have been hanging out. There is alot of bait along the shorelines in the bays right now and the larger size Redfish have been working the shores eating Mullets and crabs. We did catch a few really nice Redfish on the shorelines, but nothing we could enter in the rodeo. We caught 4 Redfish that were all oversize. one 27 1/4″, one 27 1/2″, one 28″ and one 29″ redfish. All of which would be too small for the 27″ and over. All in all we had a great day, Sarah caught a nice Redfish tailing in the grass, while we were site fishing for Refish, as you will see in the pictures it was a nice Redfish about 25″ long. She was very excited because she place the bait right in front of the fish, and saw him run out and attack her Black/Chartruese Tail Bayou Chub Minnow. Almost all the Redfish we caught on this trip were caught on Black and Chartruese tail Bayou Chub Minnows with a 1/4oz jighead and PowerPro line casting tightline to the banks. We did catch 3 or 4 Redfish on the Gulp Shrimp under a cork in the Natural color. This was later in the day when the bite seemed to slow down. And as always this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!
I want to thank Brad and Sarah for booking their trip with myself Capt. Scott Poche` and Crescent City Fishing Charters Inc. I had a great time and I look forward to fishing with you again in the future.

One of our team Captains Mike McGovern took some very nice people from AL. David, Jeanie and Chris out fishing on Saturday morning. They left Lafitte Harbor Marina at 6:00am with the same thing I did in mind, heading out to Barataia Bay to catch a few Speckled Trout, but the thunderstorms in the bay kept them from going south as well. They also took a turn for the west and went to Little Lake area to try and catch some Redfish instead, while waiting for a chance to get out in the bay to catch some trout. But the thunderstorms did not make that possible for them either. They fished the shallow ponds near Redeye Bay instead and caught some really nice Redfish. They ended the day catching 17 Redfish and 1 Black Drum, fishing with Black/chartruese tail Bayou Chub minnows and Gold Spoons.
David said he and his wife Jeanie, and son Chris had a great day fishing with the Capt. Mike and wanted to thank Capt. Mike for a great day on the water with his family. this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!

Monday Aug. 3rd.
Today was one of those days a fishing guide loves to see, calm winds and clear skies, and a very nice couple from AR. area Kleeman and Mary Olera. We left Lafitte Harbor Marina at 6:00am and headed south to Barataria Bay, looking to put a few Speckled Trout in the fish box. I had a very good feeling about this day. This is the first time the Olera’s fish with me, and I wanted them to have a great day and catch a bunch of fish. When we arrived at our first spot near Coupe` Belle Pass, the water was nice and the wind was calm, with a good incoming tide, all the ingredients for a TROUT FEST! And thats what it was. We caught atleast 100 to 120 Speckled Trout to keep our limit of 75 good keepers. There was not a shortage of trout here, we just had to weed through the undersize fish to keep our 75 limit. Everytime we would start catching really nice keepers, the porpuises would come in and scare them away, leaving us with the undersize fish for a while. If we moved a few hundred yards, we would start catching good keepers again. All in all we had a great time. We caught our limit before 10:30am and decided to go try our luck on Redfish.
So I made a 20 minute run over to Little Lake area, where we have been catching Redfish for the last few weeks. I think it is no secret there are a few reds hanging out in this area. And we gave it a try. We caught 5 Redfish and 1 Black Drum under a cork with Gulp shrimp, untill the heat started to get to us and we decided to bring it in a little early.
We ended the day with 75 Speckled Trout, 5 Redfish and 1 Black Drum. A great day of fishing if I may say so, and as always, this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Best!
I want to thank Kleeman and Mary Olera for booking their trip with myself Capt. Scott Poche` and Crescent City Fishing Charters Inc. It was a pleasure fishing with you, and I look forward to fishing with you in the future.

Saturday Aug 1st.
Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Stewart Rush, Trey Armato, Jordan Montgomery and Greg Hepburn.
We left the dock at Lafitte Harbor Marina around 6:30am and headed out for Barataria Bay, to go try our luck for Speckled Trout, only to be detoured because of a line of thunderstorms crossing the bay. It turned out to be a day of Redfishing for our crew, when the rain would not let us go south to Barataria Bay. So instead we went into the shallow marsh near Hackberry Bay and started hunting Redfish. The wind was calm even though we had a few nasty thunderstorms hanging around from the south.
On our first stop we caught one keeper red and I missed one. I decided to move and try an area we caught some Redfish a few days before, near Turtle Bay/ Little Lake area. This was the HOT SPOT for us today, we caught our boat limit of 25 Redfish, 1 Black Drum and 2 Sheepshead that ate a Black/Chartruese tail Bayou Chub minnow. The thunderstorms passed to the south of us and it turned out to be a great day of fishing after all. Everyone in the boat that day caught fish and we all had a great time. And as always, this was New Orleans Fishing At Its Finest!
I want to thank Stewart, Trey, Jordan and Greg for booking their trip with myself Capt. Scott Poche` and Crescent City Fishing Charters Inc. I had a great time fishing with all of you guys, and I look forward to doing it again in the future.
