Ryan Williams

Member since July 2016 St. Bernard, United States
Background
I’ve been an avid inshore fisherman for years, i love it and have a strong passion for it. I live for sunrises and sunsets on the bayou and putting people on fish as much as I can. The enjoyment I see from the people on my boat makes the work I do all worth the while.
Techniques
I like to run around and throw baits under a cork unless i see the need for a Carolina rig.. Live bait under a cork is a great tactic in our area.. We do throw top water and subsurface baits as well!

YOLO ON THE SOLO RUN
YOLO ON THE SOLO RUN
Oct 23, 2024 St. Bernard
I had a last-minute cancelation, and i was already loaded and ready to go. The customers never showed up. Im assuming New Orleans got the best of them!! (Not the first time we've seen this when our customers stay in NOLA)Anyhoot, a couple of my other guides were still fishing so i went om a scouting mission to try some other grounds that we normally hit in the fall time. I left the dock late due to wasting time waiting on them, i started off in a normally shallow pond, but the tide was way above normal and i knew this pond hokd fish on a high tide like that. I had a catch 2000 twich bait tide on and droped the trolling motor to start working around this pond. I worked a few tidelines and hit a few good fish. Nothing to promising though. I moved to a different location and found some thick tidelines, with swift moving water. I noticed some shrimp popping out the water. Dropped the trolling motor and started to work. The fisb were hitting, but not like i thought they should be right here. I switched tackle and slowed my presentation down quite a bit.. THAT'S IT!! That was the rite move. I caught speckled trout pretty quick. Some solid trout at that. I hit a few different areas to catch and release since i had plenty of fish for myself and the family that night. The redfish in those spots were kinda speratic, but i really wasnt fucusing on them either. The ones on the table are just passerbys that hit while i was catching trout. Talk about a fun time. Its been a while since i fished alone. Check out my calendar on here and see if some if them open days work for you. If you love to fish and have a phenomenal time, then I'd start planning some time to get down here soon.
