South Louisiana Redfish and Trout Bite

Paul Caston and his crew were back down for another annual trip, and it’s always a pleasure having them aboard. Over the past few years, the group has enjoyed focusing on redfish, so we stayed with the plan and targeted reds once again. The morning started a little slow while we waited for the tide to begin moving, but once the water picked up, the fishing followed. Everyone had a great time reeling in fish and enjoying another day in the Louisiana marsh. Paul, thank you for another successful trip and for the many years of continued business. Repeat guests and long-term relationships are what make this job so rewarding. Looking forward to the next one!

Some trips are all about covering miles. This wasn’t one of them. While helping Capt. Travis Miller with another great crew, we found what we were looking for at our very first stop. The trout weren’t biting every cast, but they kept coming steadily enough that there was never a reason to leave. About two hours later, the crew had 45 speckled trout in the box, all from the same location. Days like this are a good reminder that patience can be just as important as finding the fish. We had a great crew, a steady bite, and another successful morning in the Louisiana marsh.

Day 2 was all about earning every fish. We focused exclusively on redfish, but they weren’t giving themselves up easily. It was one of those days where every move mattered. We covered water, made adjustments, stayed patient, and never gave up. That persistence paid off. By the final stretch of the trip, Steve and Nick had put together a full limit of redfish. Honestly, those are some of my favorite days as a guide. When you have a crew that’s willing to stay positive and keep fishing, it’s incredibly rewarding to see everything come together in the end. Steve and Nick, thanks again for another great couple of days. I appreciate your continued trust and can’t wait to do it again.
