July

July is one of the best months to go to Tennessee and hunt your biggest Catfish yet. Smallmouth Bass usually congregate in spots where food is abundant, and Pike are still avoiding the heat.

What anglers said about fishing in Mississippi River

The lake is huge. We spent many hours and many days fishing with limited success. Booking a knowledgeable guide is a must if you want success.

Go offshore for Tuna if possible. Cocodrie on average is only 6’ deep inshore. We had more luck using lures inshore than fishing with live shrimp.

July is kind of the dog days of fishing (reportedly better in beginning of June and mid August through September) but we caught our limit! Early morning departure is the way to go. Less boat traffic and less tourist traffic. It was easy to get to the marina. The trip was much less stressful than I expected. I was nervous about going out on Lake Superior, but I felt safe and secure before we even got completely out of the harbor.

We went when the temperature was very high. Bring plenty of water and light weight clothing. Cooling neck cloth would be good.

Make sure you have a charter with sufficient and / or a variety of bait and one that knows in shore/near shore areas well in case of changing weather. Smaller boats catch fish too!
