                  Hello fellow anglers. Just wanted to make a quick post of the (9pound 6 oz.) speckled trout that I caught on an late evening scouting trip in Shell Beach. my brother and myself went out on a scouting adventure on the edge of bay

9 pound 6 ounce sow trout

Eloy for some up coming charters that requested some of those sow trout that run this time of the year and low and behold this big girl fell for a croak er free lined over an oyster reef. When she hit I thought I had a bull red fish because she almost spooled me on the initial run but she tired quickly and after we got a glimpse of the giant my brother almost broke a leg getting the net and soon it was in the books as the largest of the year so far. My only regret was that one my customers didn’t catch her but their are plenty more where she came from.

                         you would like to take a trip please give me a call or drop me an email and we can arrange the trip of your lifetime. And as our motto says, “RAIN OR SHINE, SLEET OR SNOW, IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!

 Thanks Capt Ron

I had the good fortune to guide a friend of mine and his nephew on a trip that turned out to be one that will be remembered for a long time. We caught some large trout and larger redfish with a box full of good sized trout and redfish that we had to almost stomp down the fish box lid.  We enjoyed great weather and good tides and only had to battle the sand flies for a short period. All in all a great trip and a great day. Below is some of the pictures that these two fishermen will dream about for some time to come.

The Zachary crew

Dock shot

                                              Zachary Construction Trout Slam                          Hello fellow anglers. The great fishing continues  in Hopedale. We picked up our bait at Campos marina and headed over to beautiful Fort Beauregard to pick up our group for the day on the water. When we arrived at Mr. Johns place the crew was moving kinda slow I guess the evenings entertainment from the night before didn’t end until late and had them dargging. Eventually they all made it up and loaded up ready for some great fish action and the fish didn’t let them down.

                    we made the nice boat ride out into the sound and at the first stop it was fast and furious with plenty of quality trout coming over the gunwale and an occasional red and flounder mixed in. The bite lasted about 2 hours and just shut off like turning off a light switch but the guys asked if I k new were some red fish were hanging out and we were off to one of my favorite red spots and it was a wrap with 20 nice red fish in an hour with some of them up to 20 pounds. We made a couple of moves to some of the small rigs around Bay Eloi and hit pay dirt again to finish off their limits of trout and that was that. The guys were glad to get in out of the heat and get ready to get back to the work grind. Most of the fish today were caught on live Campos shrimp 3 feet under a rattling cork but we did catch several on a Carolina rig and a few on opening night plastics with a chartreuse tail bounced off the bottom. The final fish count for the day was 100 trout 20 reds 5 drums and 4 flounders.

                          The crew from Zachary are regulars and fish hard and have a great tim e every time we go out. the fishing is as good as it gets right now.In the last week I have fished all over Black Bay and all over Breton Sound and havent seen not even on hint of oil or not one dead or dying fish so if you  would like to make a trip give me a call or drop me an email I would love to take you fishing.

Thanks Capt Ron

The J & J crew

                  Hello fellow anglers. What a great day on the water with a great and very funny group of guys from J & J electrical.  The guys drove in from Lees ville and Laplace Louisiana this morning to get their share of the speckled trout smack down going on right now in Shell Beach La. and today was like all of the other trips that we have had since the season has reopened. It was one stop shopping today we hit a dead end canal that has been stacked to the gills with a veritable menagerie of fish and they were there again today and hungry, almost from  the first cast until we were out of bait it was BIG trout (some over 7 pounds) red fish,  flounder, croakers and puppy drums one after the other. It looked like it was going to be a quick trip but Mr. Jay who set the trip up said you know they have bait just across the lake a few minutes away and he said he would love it if we could fish just a while longer and since I was in for the weekend I was happy to accommodate them so off to Breton Sound marina we went for more shrimp for round two. 

                        With more bait we went right back to the hot spot to finish of their limits of trout then we started hitting points and cuts looking for red fish and in short order it was over with the box fish stuffed we started to leave but Capt. Tony of Backwater guide service had a small problem, it seems he had ran out of the stuff that makes your boat float (HAHAHAHAHA) so we lent him a hand getting off the mud flat a very funny way to end a fishing trip.

                    Today I had the pleasure of guiding Mr. jay and his coworker Greg from j and j electrical that have been fishing with us many times before and said that he couldn’t wait for the morning for their second day of fishing with us. All the fish we caught today were on live shrimp 3 feet under a rattling cork. The fish total for today was 92 trout 19 red fish with some of them up to 20 pounds 6 puppy drums and 4 flounder.

                     These guys were such a hoot to fish with laughing and joking around with each other between all the good fish catching that even before this trip was over they were planing their next trip back with us. The fishing is on fire right now in Shell Beach so if you would like to join us on a fishing trip of a life time give me a call or drop me an email I would love to take you fishing.

             As always remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

                                                   Thanks Capt Ron

What Motley Crew there

2 GOOOOD Guide There

                      Hello fellow anglers. What a great day on the water with good friends. We met Mr. Claude at the dock at the crack of 5:30 to get an early start on the trout bite and to hang around close to the dock to meet capt. Gene Dugas at the dock after he got off work from the fire house. We  loaded the live wells with campos live and kicking shrimp and we were off to spot number one and that was all it took because we slammed the trout to the tune of 70 fat trout and 4 reds by 8:30 before we got the call from capt. gene and he said that he was at the dock waiting for us and as much as we hated to leave the trout hitting every cast we had to run pick him up.

                      After we hooked up with Gene we went into the interior marsh looking for trout and reds and made a big round all over the west side but couldn’t really get the fish to cooperate so it was back to where we started to Finnish off our limits and we wrapped it up with 100 trout 10 reds and 4 drums not a bad day for a scout trip. Today most all of the fish were caught on live shrimp Carolina rigged on the bottom but we caught a few trout on the rattling corks and a few on plastics and a few on live croakers   Carolina rigged but they mostly wanted live shrimp. All in all it was a great time and a long time the coming to finally get in the boat with capt. Gene.

                   The fishing is on fire right now in Shell Beach so if you would like to get into some of the spring time trout slam give me a call or drop me an email before they close us down for fishing and if they do who knows how long we will be down so lets go bend the rod. Remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILL GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Capt. Ron

One of todays finest

Janices big boy

                      Hello fellow anglers its sssssooooooo good to be back on the water and enjoying our great coastal resource and being able to bring our fellow outdoor lovers to enjoy it along with me.I met my clients at 5:30 in the morning to get an early start on the trout slam that’s been going on since the fishing season has been reopened. We hit Campos fine marina for some live and kick-in shrimp and we were off. Today I had on the boat with me Mr. Rocky and his lovely wife Janice ant their daughter Lindsey in  from  Prairieville to have some fishing fun and we had a boat load of that.

                         Today it was one stop shopping at the first stop the trout were there and smoking the live shrimp as fast as the bait hit the water it was fish on fish on. This crew kept me hopping between baiting and taking fish off and retying break offs which we had plenty of with lots of bull reds in the area that were making passes through the trout feeding frenzy from time to time but I did my best to keep them in the water and having fun. The trout we caught today were some of ths biggest trout of the year by some up to 6.5 pounds and the red fish were up to 15 pounds. Most all of the fish were caught on live shrimp but when the shrimp ran out they caught several trout on plastics in various colors and even a few fish on top dogs in the bone with a chartruce belly. The final fish count for today was 100 fine speckled trout 20 reds 2 puppy drums and 4 flounder.

                         This crew today had a blast catching fish and laughing and joking with each other, they have been on the boat with me many times before and wish they had several more days that they could have stayed and fished but like most every one they had to get back to work but they will be back as soon as possible.

                           The fishing is as good as it gets right now so if you would like to get into some of this great action before they shut the season down for who know log cive me a call or drop me an email I would love to take you fishing. Remember our motto RAIN OR SHINS SLEET OR SNOW IF YOU  COME WE WILL GO FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ready for some crab meat stuffing

                      Hello fellow anglers. We had one grand time on the water with a life long friend that came from Baton Rouge to get into some the great speckled trout action that we have been on as of late in Hopedale and they didn’t let us down today. We loaded the live wells with shrimp and we were of to our hole in the cahnnel and one stop was all it took to fill the box with fat trout up to 5 pounds and some red fish and flounders and puppy drums mixed in just for some rod bending drag screaming action mixed in just for fun.

                         Today the trout wanted the shrimo Carolina rigged with a light sinker attached so that they would fall at a slower pace today. The final fish count  for the day was 67 log trout 15 reds up to 15 pounds and 10 drums and 2 baking flounders. A great time was had by all and we made it back to the dock just in time before the bottom dropped out.

                       The fishing is smoking in hopedale right now so if you would like to go fishing give me a call or drop me an email I would like to take take you fishing. Remember our motto RAIN OR SHINE SLEET  OR SNOW IF YOU COME WE WILLGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    Hello fellow anglers and concerned Louisiana sportsmen. I made an information trip with some media from the associated press yesterday to get some photos and check out the impending oil progression.I met the reporters at Capt. Franks camp and after getting his satellite link up equipment calibrated we headed down to the boat. I knew it was going to be bad when I was driving down from Baton Rouge this morning and around Hammond I started to smell the distinct stench of oil heavy on the south breeze. We left the dock and headed south to check it out in the Breton Sound area and we were greeted by the wildlife and fisheries flotilla they checked us out and asked where we were going and after they found we were the media they stressed their saftey concerns and sent us on our way.

                          We started our fact finding mission at the mouth of bayou Loutra on the eastern most part of Breton Sound and we were greeted by the flotilla of boats and wildlife agent putting out the oil booms in preparation of the oil making land fall which no one had seen any signs of oil or oily residue in that area at all thank god. So we made our way west towards the ship channel checking out the outer islands for any signs of wildlife in peril or any signs of dead seafood but the only sign of any distressed wild life was a few dead cat fish floating on the surface of the water around the ship channel with some seagulls feeding on them but we couldn’t tell if the fish were a directly affected by oil contamination or died from some other causes but the press took plenty of pictures that were posted on the world wide Webb via satellite phone link up from the middle of Black Bay. We did see plenty of shrimp skipping on the surface of the water being scooped up by hungry speckled trout that it was all I could stand not being able to cast a bait at but the shrimp were every where. My main concern was that with the tides about 2 to 3 feet above normal and the costal waters washing over a lott of the islands  grass lands and if the oil reaches the islands and contaminates the the grass I think the impact to our coastal wetlands will be devastating. Bou for the time being from the mouth of bayou loutra to the west all the way into Black Bay there was’nt even an odor of oil or any sign of oil or oily residue. Some the worst news we heard was that while we were out the press talked with their bosses and they had pictures of oil that had reached the Chandler Islands and was progressing inland from there. All in all the all clear signs were out for our coastal ares for the moment. I was glad to see the impending front with some north winds in them to help keep the oil away from our fishing area for the time being any way.I hope every one would keep our indusrty and its hard working people in their everyday thoughts and prayers.

                          Thanks Capt. Ron
