Hello fellow anglers what a great  fishing trip out at the beach. It looks like the spring fishing pattern is starting to kick off We made a trip into the close marsh yesterday with the group in from all over the south that worked for or were customers of the Victory pharmacy group and were these guys a pleasure to fish and visit with.

After loading up with Campos market shrimp we headed to the lake and one stop was all it took to fill the fish box to its maximum capacity. The tide was on a good rise and the fish were stacked to the maximum in a little rig feeding and staging to spawn. All fish were caught mostly on market shrimp but we also tried various plastics in most any color as long as it had chartreuse in it. These guys could really fish and had made many fishing trips together so it was pleasure to guide this group and mad my job a breeze. The  main main  had a great trip on Capt. Gene Dugas boat and he said he cant wait for the summer to make his next trip with us to smoke some of those sow trout that Breton Sound is so famous for.

                     These guy’s could really fish and had a great time catching fish and laughing and joking with each other and me and giving each other a hard time either about missing a fish or who had the largest fish of the day. The final fish count for the day was 15 puppy drums 14 reds up to 15 pounds and 19 bay snappers. These guys fish on a  regular basis and cant wait until next time we go out.

The fishing is as good as it gets for the early spring in the sound and in the interior marshes the fishing is heating up right now so if you would like to go stretch your line give me a call or drop me an email I’d love to go fishing with you. And remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR  SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Capt Ron

Hello fellow anglers we got real lucky on the storm Ida. This time with the approaching north front and the cool gulf water it calmed the storm down enough that it turned to the east and spared us the brunt of the storm affects. Although we did  get some of the high waters it wasn’t enough to do any real damage to anything but a little debris on the roads and on the lots. Maybe that one will be the last storm we will have to dodge until next storm season. Now all we have to do is  move our trailer and junk back down to the camp site and we will be back up and running without a whole lot of delay. So if your ready to go fishing lets get it on.

Thanks Capt Ron

Hello fellow anglers a little weather update from shell beach Louisiana. Made a few trips down in the last couple of days to get the boat and trailer out of harms way and to batten down the hatches in front of the storm. Yesterday the water was about 5ft above normal and was over the road at many of the low spots along the Hopedale highway and the winds were gusting to about 50 mph. Hopefully the storm will continue to the east and spare our area the full brunt of the storm although we will still get some of the storm surge affect that will be a whole lot easier to deal with than a direct hit by the storm. So lets all hold our breath and cross our fingers and keep up hope.

Thanks Capt. Ron

Hello fellow anglers this Capt. Ron. the fishing continues to be stellar in shell beach. I had 3 charters this weekend and we kept a total of 425 trout 31 (some bulls over 20 pounds) reds 16 black drums and 3 flounder. The fish were caught on all types of baits including some fish on top water top dogs early in the morning in the chartreuse and bone colors and the baby mullet colors. We also caught a lot of fish on plastics in the tuxedo colors and any plastic with chartreuse in it.
Most of the fish fell victim to the always deadly live shrimp bought from my friends at Campos fine marina, and as long as they are available I will continue to us them in our efforts to fill our limits and our hearts (and our plates) with fun and fish.
The fish have moved into their winter time patterns and those spots very close to the docks like Lake Ameda and Hopedale Lagoon so the fishing now does’nt take nearly as much time or gas to get to where the fishing is good.
So until I see you on the water or in the woods keep your rods bent and your drags a screamin and your barrels hot. And remember RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!

Hello fellow anglers.

This is Capt. Ron on my new website for the first of many fishing and hunting reports and any other information that might make everyone’s adventures in our great outdoors a richer and deeper event.
A little history about myself now I’m a 50 year Louisiana native that have been hunting and fishing this state all of my life and have become very knowledgeable about the waters and the woods that are available for the La. sportsmen and women to enjoy. After many years of fishing and hunting a taking many friends and family fishing and hunting and 5 years of an outdoors TV show I decided to make my passion my job and become a professional fish and hunting guide and boy was it it ever the right decision. The only thing I would have done different was to have gotten my captains license a whole lot earlier in my outdoor career.
This blog site will be used to make my comments and answer any question or comments my fellow outdoorsmen might have. I will be posting recent fishing and hunting reports and pictures of the trips on this site for my clients and their many friends and the general public to enjoy. I have fished most all of the waters in Louisiana and feel that i am very knowlagble of this area and if anyone has any questions about our great state all they have to do is post their question and if i cant answer that question, I have a lot of different contact people in my industry that can give me an complete and acurate answer in a timely fashion.
I welcome all comments and questions from anyone who is seeking to better themselves in an effort to get the maximum enjoyment out of the short times we are able to enjoy what god has so greatly blessed us with in this great state of Louisiana and the surrounding states.
I am looking forward to many years on this site with my friends and in closing always remember my motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Capt.Ron
