Trophy gar shot by a first timer

Covered a lot of water today from Lafitte all the way to Bay Jimmy and the Grand Isle area. Fished marsh drains, points, bays, and channels with both live and artificial presentations. Water quality ranged from stained to fair, but we never found a consistent bite. Saw very little bait activity and no concentrations of feeding fish. Ended the day without a quality redfish, trout, or black drum. Hopefully the pattern improves once the winds settle and the fish reposition.

The nighttime bowfishing bite has been heating up around the Lafitte marsh. We’ve been seeing good action on redfish, black drum, gar, and flounder in clean moving water. Warm temperatures and falling tides have fish active around shorelines and marsh drains. Family-friendly trips available along with action-packed nighttime charters for experienced shooters looking for larger fish. Summer weekend dates are beginning to fill fast. Book with Marsh Monster Charters for an authentic Louisiana marsh bowfishing experience.
