Catching the New Year Red Fish
Catching the New Year Red Fish "2018"
January 1, 2018
Catching the New Year red fish with New Orleans Style Fishing Charters. We have started the New Year with some cold temperatures and low tides . This has the red fish out of the marshes and piled up in the deeper water. We’ve had to do some fishing around to find the reds . Once we find them, they’re usually piled up and hungry. This is a typical winter time pattern (that is when we have a winter down south) . Fishing with shrimp under a popping cork or tight line with shrimp on a jig head has been the ticket to getting them to bite. I haven’t fished speckle trout lately since the conditions have’t been favorable for them . Once the water warms up a lil and the wind stabilizes the silver wonders should be eager to bite . I look forward to filling up the coolers with our share of those tasty fish! 2017 was a great year for us!! With lots of happy customers going home with memories of their New Orleans experience on the bayou. It was great to see so many familiar faces of returning customer. It was really nice to catch up with everyone . This year was also filled with many new customers like every year I look forward to meeting new friends . Everyone is a stranger at first ,but by the days end I like to think we’re all friends . I want to thank everyone for choosing New Orleans Style Fishing Charters to fish with while in New Orleans this past year! Your continued business is greatly appreciated . I’d also like to thank the captains who help me make memories for all who fish with us. 2018 is here and I look forward to making great memories and more friends…. “COME FISH A NAWLINS GOOD TIME ” I’m booking trips daily so feel free to give me a call with any questions or to schedule your charter today. New Orleans Style Fishing Charters we don’t just go fishing we make memories! Captains are US Coast Guard Licensed. Fully Insured LA Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries Licensed

If it is spring, bring a hoodie or jacket, it gets rather cool going across the water. Sun glasses are also a must.

Expect lots of little saltwater catfish to steal your bait. We moved a bit then got our max of redfish within an hour - all 8-15 lbs with frozen shrimp bait.

Definitely use a guide service. Captain Dave read the water and weather conditions and kept me in the fish.

Expect to mainly catch redfish. The other species are possible to catch, but not as likely.

Bring a good attitude and have fun! The Captains do their best and of course want you to catch fish but they can't force the fish to bite. So be a good sport. Catching does make your day more exciting though. Also, wish I would have applied more sunscreen. Ha

Easy access from the city and three state region. Dress in layers for the rides if it isn't sunny. We traveled 10 minutes in the boat to our spot and immediately were landing reds. The charter captain makes access and trip an enjoyable experience.

You will see a lot of wildlife. The natural gas mini rigs out on the water take a little getting used to. The houses on stilts were a trip. Treat yourself to lunch at Restaurant des Familles...the BBQ shrimp was out of this world. There's a dollar store across from the Piggly Wiggly if you need any last minute supplies.

Dress warmly in December. Wear face sunblock cream even if completely overcast and foggy as you will get windburn even if you don’t get sunburned.
