Daniel’s crew joined us for a day on the water, and we started off on a solid sheepshead bite. Not long into the trip, we had a little “casualty of the sea,” so we switched gears and took a short ride to let things settle out. After that reset, we got back to fishing—making a few moves and dialing in on some trout that were ready to cooperate. The crew stayed positive, and we were able to turn it into a productive and memorable trip. That’s springtime fishing in South Louisiana—sometimes it takes a small adjustment, but the fish are there if you stay with it. We’re seeing good opportunities right now with both sheepshead and speckled trout, and it’s only getting better as we head toward summer. ?

Benton and Tim joined me for a trip recently, and we were met with some challenging conditions to start the day. Strong winds and a lower tide had us covering water and staying patient early on. As the morning progressed and the tide began to rise, more areas opened up. We were able to locate a productive stretch that was holding keeper-slot redfish, and the action picked up nicely from there. The guys had a great time putting together a solid catch and enjoying steady bites once we got dialed in. Spring tides are here, and the redfish bite is shaping up to be strong in the coming weeks. If you’re looking to get on the water and target quality redfish, now is a great time to book your trip.

Steve and his dad Robert made the trip down from Indiana to experience South Louisiana inshore fishing before Robert’s 90th birthday. Their trip started with a visit to the National WWII Museum before heading west in search of a charter. A stop at Ivy’s Tackle Box pointed them my way, and we ended up fishing together four times over the last two months. The first two trips we targeted sheepshead (sweet meat) and put together some solid boxes of fish. As the weather warmed up, we shifted gears on the next two trips and focused on redfish, which provided steady action. It was an absolute pleasure having these guys on the boat. Mr. Robert still has the same excitement for fishing as someone half his age. Trips like this are what make guiding so rewarding. If you’re planning a trip to South Louisiana and want to experience inshore fishing near Houma and Dularge, we’d love to have you aboard. Capt. Jared Broussard Du’ South Fishing Charters
