I agree with Pagemaster, fish the birds you don't need livebait. My buddies have been catching them 2 at a time that way double rig sparke beetles...you'll throw your fair share back, but you'll eventually limit out.

Fished with Captain Frank Moore the last 2 days with some guests from Atlanta and Houston - we had a truly fantastic trip.  The fishing was great - we really hit the big trout (2-4#) with fast action on day 2 - as good as I have ever seen, with a couple of big reds mixed in.

Capt Frank did a great job handling our 5 fisherman group(tangled lines and all), he really works hard, and has great facilities - much appreciated Capt Frank.

Cutoff, LA USA

After arriving at my brothers place in Cutoff from Mesa Az on Wednesday afternoon we dined on some fresh Red Snapper cooked up by Jeffs wife Darlene and promptly loaded up his Astro Bayboat for a trip yesterday morning to Timbalier Bay by way of Fourchon in search of Specks. After attempting to leave the channel we decided that it was a bit rough for the 19' boat and returned to the public launch and headed over to Griffiths. After a quich launch my son and headed out and after a short ride we began tossing our lines and my son immediately hooked into a spec about 12" only to loose it at the boat. Next cast I boated one about 16 " and the rest of the day was a lot of the same with every other fish a throwback with a mixture of hardheads. My son caught his first time of catching an Oyster fish and a Jack Crevale that was about the size of his hand.
The weather kept us on the move but we had a great day and I learned a couple of new spots. We used a variety of Gulp Shrimp in New Penny, live minnows and a  market shrimp. My brother spent the day at work and will so today but my nephew Jeff Jr is our guide today for our trip into Golden Meadow. With a little luck my brother will join us tomorrow.

In response to joe ewing

I heard proposed sentence/fines were going to total around $125,000.00.  The boat was supposed to be fined $80,000.00 and the captain's license suspended for something like 7 to 9 months.   The 18 customers were going to be each fined about $2500.   The WLF sold the fish for I think 5K.

I don't know if the sentence came down as was discussed above.  I heard the above numbers on a radio fishing show.  

I wonder how many trips like this occurred in the past that were never discovered.  There wasn't an innocent person on that boat.  The intent was clear.   The fine could have been stronger in my opinion.  I was taught, and still know right from wrong, and don't break fish and game laws.  I have no sympathy for those that do.

reply to Jason; trout are under the birds all over Bay Eloi and Lake Anastacia and nicer size trout are along the long rocks. I went to Delacroix Saturday and their are nice trout between stone and the wreck  by the wellheads and smaller specks under the birds in the same area.

ANGLING ADVENTURES OF LOUISIANA

BILOXI MARSH REPORT

I had the good fortune to fish with world famous fisherman Dan Couvillion, his brother Dennis and son Danny.  We made our way over to the Biloxi Marsh, where we fished Spinners & Spoons and some Topwater early to catch a limit of REDFISH. This group were a blast to fish with and they are already looking at their calender to book another trip. With the water high and in the grass we had to fish our baits very close to the grass to get the strikes. This group had a fun time with the hard fighting REDFISH in the skinny waters of the marsh.

Call to book your ANGLING ADVENTURE 985-781-7811 or 877-4-AAofLA. I have several boats to handle your corporate or family outing all with a NO-FISH-NO-PAY-GUARANTEE-!!!!!! On site on the water accommodations sleeps 10 just steps from the dock with all the comforts of home.

pearl river, LA USA

Fished lower pearl saturday, pretty slow until lunchtime and the fish seemed to turn on. Fininshed the day with 60 specs, 6 flounder, and 1 red. Out of the 60 specs we had 38 keepers. I wouold say that at least 90 percent of the trout we kept were still full of eggs. All fish were caught in 2 feet or less of water and on artificials.

Shell Beach, LA USA

Fun Sunday on the Beach. John Defrances, his wife Jennifer, and friends Mike and Ron were onboard. The crew said they wanted to go for the big Trout, so armed with Campo’s croakers and live shrimp we headed into the Sound. It did not take long for Jennifer to get things started with a big Red. After that some big fat Trout to came to the boat. Our Trout action was cut short by the Running of the Bulls. The big Reds showed up big time and just would not leave us alone no matter how many stops we made. Good thing was that the Trout we could get in between the Bulls were in the 3-4 pound class. My crew fished hard put together a nice box of Trout and released a lot of big Reds. Total take home the day was 50 Trout, 4 Reds, and 1 Drum.

The Trout are on and the fishing in Shell Beach is outstanding. Campo’s is open with fuel, live bait, ice, and the newly improved back down ramps are open. Nice and easy launching with helpful advice from the Campo’s is waiting for you. For your next fishing adventure call United Charters, dates are filling fast. Very nice over night accommodations are avalible. 504-439-1680.

Hello Again Cyber Anglers,

Been on the water most of the first three weeks of July and with the exception of Thunder Showers, the fishing has been great out of Boudreaux’s in Leeville. It also has been a special time as I have been fishing and breaking in my dreamboat, the 2400 Tournament Edition Pathfinder, powered with a Yamaha 250 four stroke, all from Boat Stuf.

We have moved off of the Four Piles area lately and have been working Casse-tete. Even in the slack, low tide days of the second week of July, we found current between the two Islands of Casse-tete. On an incoming tide, the nice Gulf green water has been rolling around the sand bars south of Casse-tete. On an outgoing tide, the water picks up speed as it passes through the islands, and splits as it approaches the visible sand bars in Little Pass. This cooler, moving water is where we have been hanging and catching nice Specks and White Trout. Most of the bigger fish have been caught on Carolina Rigged, low-vis, green, Xline with a 20 lb., low-vis green triple Fish shock leader. No snooze line here as Bull Reds and Sand Sharks occasionally make an appearance. At leaders end you find Large Live Cockahoes from Bada Bing bait shop in Leeville, ridding a 2/0 kahle hook. If you are having trouble finding bait, call T-Tim at 985-396-4286 and order ahead of time. T-Tim was telling me that the ratio of Croaker and Live Shrimp purchases have outweighed Cockahoes by 4 to 1, but I love the big cockahoes as they resemble finger Mullet, a Big Specks favorite meal in my opinion.

This area that we have been fishing is almost 15 miles southwest of Leeville, 10 miles on the same course from the Red Camp on Deep Bayou. This route is also safer depth wise as you usually have 5-7 feet in Bay Racourcci and the north side of Timiblair Bay. If you are fishing out of Fourchon Marina, just pick up the Havoline canal out of Bayou Lafourche. Run the pilings and markers on the right side as you hit the open water as sandbars are on the right and shallow water on your left. Once the markers end you are safe until you hit Calumet Cut, the body of water between Casse-tete Island on your right, and the smaller Calumet Island on your left. Be sure you run the side of the channel closest to Calument Island to avoid sandbars. From the end of the markers on a westerly course is about 5 miles making the trip from Fourchon closer but trickier. All of these sandbars both in Little Pass and the North Side of East Timbilair, have come from the erosion of East Timbilair through the years.

Off course cameraman Albert has been onboard shooting shows and off course eating both sandwiches and mongo croissants from TYD’S. He also has been pigging out on anglers cooking out at night under Boudreaux’s Motel. I must say that I am not responsible for anyone that asks Albert if he wants to eat. The folks from Boute that were boiling Crabs, the gang from Baton Rouge that had the fried Fish, Shrimp, Corn, and hush puppies, and also the folks from Hammond that had the big boil and Barbecue, all were amazed at his consumption rate. Either cook plenty or invite him to the table at your own risk! I sometimes wish he would wipe the lens as often as he wipes his mouth.

I must add that the new Pathfinder is awesome. I especially like the 24-foot length as now, combined with the four Stroke Yamaha, I am saving fuel, and are doing all of our shows out of this boat. Inside and coastal and even offshore on calm days are comfortable since I have trim tabs and plenty of bait wells and fish storage, not to mention the first boat I have run with really dry storage compartments. I even take it Freshwater fishing. Sure I turn some heads on the Tournament Bass scene, but again I have found one boat that does all. If you have been watching Between the Banks, I have been showing the boat and its features like the Lowrance 522-C color GPS and sonar unit that is antenna –less. It really blends in to the low profile, ergonomic console of the 2400.

On LCN and RodnReelTV.com, Between the Banks is airing Specks, Reds, and Flounder in the cut through canal in Leeville, and the piling canal in Fourchon with my victims from Gulf Coast Trim and Upholstery, and Riverside Wireless of Port Allen. This was that stretch of windy weather we had a few weeks ago, so tune in and learn a couple of my safe havens for rough weather, and how to fish them in tough conditions. Heading to Boudreaux’s of Cocodrie tomorrow once the weather settles down so if you are fishing out of Capt. Andre’s place, look us up if you need help. In the meantime….good luck fishing…BOB

Shell Beach, LA USA

FUN FUN FUN AT THE BEACH!! Day 2 for Russell, Tony, Jim, Bart and Richard. Some of the guys from Atlanta jim from Houston. It looked iffy at best this morning. Running up the ship channel in the dark we had a chop but when we got to Eloie it was a foot and a half in the bay. We put 35 trout in the boat and they quit. The guys wanted to catch some redfish so I decided to take a long shot at a place I haven't fished in a while. Got on an outstanding big trout bite catching another 60 in the 2-4 pd range. We also caught 2 reds, one 30 pds we turned loose and one 29 inches that we kept. All the fish were caught on campos croakers and shrimp. The guys had 2 fantastic days of fishing catching over 200 trout in 2 days. They caould not say enough about how much fun they had a how great the fishing was. Yesterday Capt Mark and Capt Ronnie had 110 trout between the 2 boats.

Give us a call if you want to catch the yellow mouth fever. We are on a good trout bite daily and we show it with our pictures. Some people tell you about all the fish they catch, we show them to you.

Before booking your next trip, check out the pictures we post every day!!!!!!!!

WHY WOULD YOU DO ANYTHING BUT FISH WITH THE KING!!!!!!! . ONE CALL THAT’S ALL SHOW UP WITH A SMLE AND WE WILL DO THE REST

The Trout are eating up @ Shell Beach. Campo’s is open with fuel; live bait, ice, and the newly improved back down ramps. Nice easy and quick launching with helpful advice from the Campo’s is waiting for you.

Saturday report from the Beach. I had part of a two boat group Saturday, with Beaver Edwards, Robert Redden, Mike Picou, and John Martin on my boat. First a stop by Campo’s for bait, then we hit Bay Eloi. We finally found a wellhead that did not have a boat on it and got on a steady bite with live shrimp under a cork. Eventually the bite slowed down so we made a move to a less crowded area and got the Trout going pretty good near a shoreline. The guys put trout after Trout in the boat till all the bait was gone, and we had 111 Trout on ice. It was a fun day with lots of action with a great group of guys.

WE HAVE 4 BOATS WAITING TO TAKE YOU ON YOUR NEXT FISHING ADVENTURE. OUR LODGE SLEEPS 19 ANGLERS, just steps from the boats. Check out the photos of the quality fish we have been on. Give us a call at 504 887 4960 or 504 881 9966 (cell). You'll be glad that you did!!

Before the storm this week the clean water was pretty far out. We will not know where it is until Thursday or Friday now. The water clarity didn't matter with the fish bite because we were catching fish in the dirty water. Just find 60 feet of water and start fishing. Good Luck!

                          LITTLE FISH ARE FOR THE BIRDS    
A few months back I got a call from Gary Mounce and we booked a trip but never had a decent day when his number came up.
Month after month we tried but the same results ...nasty weather, Rain ,high winds no tide ,you get the picture.
The one thing Gary asked for was no quick limits of school trout under the birds just to make numbers and get back quick.
He would rather quality over quantity any day.
Well if there is one thing I am allergic to it’s fishing under the birds so he sounded like my kind of fisherman.
This weekend we headed out to Breton sound on a sheet of glass with Gary and his buddy Ted and settled on one of the rigs near the channel and before you could get comfortable Ted’s Challenger rod was hooked up on a nice trout but it wasn’t as big as the day before but a respectable two pound male.
Gary didn’t take long before he followed suit and before long they were doubling up on fat trout with most of them averaging 22  two to three pounders which are no mules but nice slabs just the same.
Ted set the hook on a monster mullet on steroids that gave that Marsh Master 7'Challenger rod all it could handle  till he got the brute  in the net and quickly released unharmed after he carefully revived her back to health.....check out the size of this monster in the picture     (NOT ONCE BUT TWICE)
Gary and Ted were going back and forth like Dale Jr and Kyle Bush trying to get ahead of each other till the bite slowed up quite a bit but still enough to keep them on their toes.
They had their limits by 9:00 am with 50 in the box so we stayed around a little longer to see if the bite would kick in again but the north west wind slowed things down quite a bit and was giving me fits trying to get the boat anchored where I wanted them.
We managed anther ten or so trout while discussing what’s up in NASCAR lately and being under the watchful eye of a couple of the local guides in the area that never came in on us like so many others would normally do which I appreciated and will always do the same for them.
The N/W wind and the incoming tide made things difficult and if were not for the fishing ability of my crew things would have been a little more difficult.
Gary not only got his quality but his quantity as well which he said the only birds these fish would be under would be Terodactyles   
I had a great time with the guys and am glad they finally got a decent shot at the weather.
Hell, Nascar , Fishing and good company what more could you ask for?

Till next time ....Take a trip and rip some lips

Fishing Magician Charters

Today was the last day for Jimmy Woods and the Georgia group. Capt. Jason and Capt. Lester had the pleasure of running the trips today. The guys put 70 speckled trout into the boat. The guys didn't want to give up a chance of getting onto a good bull red bite. So, they headed out into the Sound early before the water got too rough.

A good red fish bite is what they found!!! They caught about 35 reds. The guys really enjoyed catching the reds. They would have sat there going around and around the boat for the rest of the day, catching and releasing if they could have. They are like the bull reds, they hate to give up.

Unfortunately, they had to call it a day a little earlier, to head back to Georgia.

Jimmy already has 4 boats booked for next month. He can't wait to return. He enjoys the challenge that bull reds give him. So,if you want a chance to experience a good fight, give us a call. We will do our best to satisfy you. Remember, our captains are born and raised on the bayou. They know how to fish and they are experienced and licensed boatmen.

Delacroix Island La, LA USA

                                     Straight from Hollywood...   
My guests this weekend were Mr John Drydon of Hollywood Door co .in Metaire along with Gaylon, Kent, and Johnathan from Texas.
We met at the dock early and made our way out to Black Bay with some smooth seas which was a big difference from the last trip when we got our buts whipped so it was a pleasure to see a slick calm bay for a change.
Settled in on our little honey hole in the dark and the guys had their lines in the water in no time and it didn’t take long and one of the rods folded over then another then another with every body hooked up at once.......well the only problem was they were all hooked up with each other    
Kent actually had the trout that had John that had Johnathan which after it was all over the trout didn’t have a chance on getting away because it was tied in a knot the great Houdini couldn’t get out of.  
With little lite we got busy with the scissors and retied and had them all back at it in no time.
As the sun rose I could see the water color had changed from the day before and the bait was no where in the area so we made a move and met up with Capt Gerry and his crew that was running second boat at a well a few yards from us and got on another bite with some pretty trout that were hitting the croakers and plastics for a short while till that ended as well.
Johnathan hooked up on a monster red that was peeling drag and had his rod folded over and ran him around the boat a few times till the red cut the 30lb shock leader on his gill and was off to the deep saying SEEYA  
The disappointment on Johnathans face was evident but now he has a story of the one that got away to tell his friends.
After that we headed to the pig pen and after anchoring up Gaylon asked why we call it the pig pen and two minutes later it was evident with a 23  trout on the end of his line pulling drag and before you knew it they were all hooking up with the Bay pigs of Black Bay .
With big trout coming in from all sides of the boat the box was filling fast.
I decided to try the plastic to see and threw out a dudley blue moon and hooked up an a monster trout that tangled in Mr Drydon’s line on the way in and we got a good look at her at the back of the boat which was in the 27  -7 to 8 lb range but she was not ready to meet the igloo as she shook her head one last time before the net could get to her and that was one lip I wish would have never ripped......so goes another story of the one that got away  
The guys continued to bring the pigs to the net up to 4 ½ pounds on a stedy pace with Kent and Gaylon getting the hot hand for a while as Mr John and Johnathan were right behind them.
After we loaded the box it was time to head in and cool off and clean up.
The guys had to bow to MR Drydon with the biggest trout of the day with one right at five pounds but with all the four pounders they were all happy.
My camera although taking the pictures did not place them on the memory card some how so I’m hoping the gus have a pic or two from their phone cameras they can send me to post for them...sorry guys.
We ended a slow  morning with a great  finish which had the guys happy with some real nice trout.
Thanks guys for the trip and hope to do it again soon.

Till next time...Take a trip and rip some lips

Day out with the ladies of the family!  Had my two daughters come up with the idea that dad needed to take them and my loving wife fishing.  I asked them what type of fish they wanted and the daughters said Trout.  With the approaching winds from Dolly, I was worried about my location South of Pass Christian but woke up this morning with little to no wind.  Launched out of the harbor and tried to get a hold of a couple trawlers for crokers but no luck.  Off we went arriving at Cabbage Reef with only plastics.  Oldest daughter lands a nice trout and then a couple more but that was it.  Made some moves until a storm came out of the South and caught us in a shallow bay pushing us deeper into it.  Started up the big Suzuki and had to back out due to the wind and shallow water.  Ran out into the bay and waited for the storm to pass.  Made several moves and found them under the birds.  Had to keep my trolling motor running in high gear to keep up with the trout.  I just put my pole down and became a deck hand unhooking trout as fast as the girls could swing the trout over the side.  All in all, had a great trip and so did they.

Thanks Susan, Jennifer and Megan for letting me be your husband and dad!
