Trout throw down

September 13, 2023

Fall fishing is almost here. With winds laid down the trout bite is here! Had white trout and speckled trout and two reds in this box. Also went and caught a few sharks just for fun. Most of the fish were caught on 4horseman popping corks and deadly Dudley rat tails shrimp color and some were caught on 4horseman popping corks and live shrimp. Fishing is going to be great this fall dont miss out!

Chasing 3tails and sheeps

Set out on catching tripletails but all we found were juveniles on a calm day on the gulf. Near shore fishing we caught redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, and tripletails. Some were caught on artificial and others live shrimp

4 boats on a windy day

Took some clients out for Andrew on a windy day didnt end up too bad.

Strong windy days

June 18, 2023

Its been very windy lately with some days pushing 20-30 mph winds. Some days are better than others. As soon as the winds lay back down fishing will pick back up. Southwest winds makes it difficult to get out of the wind and makes fishing tough.

Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Fish are always biting so you'll want to be on the water for quite some time.

Bring plenty of water and go with an accomplished Captain like Captain Bradley with Cat 5 Fishing Charters LLC. He walks you through everything you will need and this was our first time as well.

Be sure to apply lots of sunscreen, wear a large brimmed hat, and long sleeve fishing shirt to protect from the sun. If you have issues tolerating extreme heat, bring shammies.

if its windy and cold and the lake is dirty dont go. if its just cold and water is clear go get on some speckled trout, its a blast. flownder are running in november and the redfishing is usually always good. its a big lake and alot of water to cover so i would get a map of the area or fish with someone that knows the area well.

Bring clothes you can layer if it gets colder or hotter and bring a big cooler if you plan to take home your catch. Lake Charles was great and everyone was so nice and congenial.
