Trip Summary

Here in Shell Beach Louisiana, we like to see east winds in April and May. This is when the big females are in and ready to spawn them beautiful babies! We dont usually keep the big ones unless the customers ask to. We have an abundance of smaller trout we can keeo so releasing the big female's dont hurt our feelings none. This trip was extremely windy so it kind of limited our fishing but we still put together a killer box and released over 20 specks over 20inches. We fished various methods from topwater baits early then switching to live bait later in the morning. Its on down here rite now. Dont miss the boat!!

The winds laid down some, and i switched gears. I grabbed dead bait just in case, but i went a different direction with speckled trout on my mind. These are longtime customers of mine, and i know they are down to work for the fish. We tied on artificial baits under a cork, and away we went. We found good moving water with a little bit of bait, and that was a wrap.

With the winds still blowing down here and no live bait to be found, we stuck to what we have been doing, hitting small ponds that we can barely fit it. Its been working to say the least. We hit it hard this fay with these phenomenal ladies, and they gave it their all and it paid off for them.

This guy calls me up while he's in town and wants to fish regardless of the weather. The winds are howling 20mph plus, but the tides are rising, and i know a few places to duck out the wind. We found a few ponds that had just enough water to get into and went to work. Throwing dead shrimp under a cork was the go-to for sure. We got his limit and a handful of catch and release fish for a fun day fighting the winds. Dont miss out. Call soon to reserve your dates as the weather is shaping up and looking good down here in Shell Beach Louisiana!!
