Fall Fishing

As a guide and professional angler, many people ask me what time of the year I like to fish for fun.  Well, November is THE month. Why? The fish are everywhere and so close to our dock.  This month will be some of the highest number of fish caught for the year.  Speckled trout, Redfish, and Black Drum are flooding the interior marshes, and our charter guests are the ones benefiting.  This is the first week of November and our customers have already caught over 1200 redfish and 760 speckled trout.  These numbers will only be limited by the amount of creel limits the state allows.  As a customer of Bayou Charters you know that we all work really hard to make sure that everything from catching the fish to explaining how to present your baits is an experience you will never forget!  If you are one that loves cooler weather, shorter boat rides, and some of the fastest action of the year you need to call or email Nicole now so you can get on a boat! 

Remember, if you haven’t seen my new television show yet, just go to our website www.CoastalFishingConcepts.com and start watching.  The show has been a huge success and can’t wait for next season!  

See y’all on the water……..

June Report

Anglers! It’s June! Summer has arrived. It’s time to begin the migration towards the outer bays and lakes. Like the predator fish, we will be following our prey to their Summer habitats.  As you know, speckled trout move out to the deeper water bays, lakes, and sounds in huge numbers to spawn and feed.  Along the northern gulf, many of these areas are littered with shallow water gas rigs, reefs, and islands.  We fish these areas because we know the fish we are chasing love to hold onto structure for protection and ambush points.  Many times when we are having windy springs the fish tend to hold onto the islands and reefs because they can be somewhat protected. Plus, they can have good salinity for spawning.  It’s like the old saying “right place, right time!” You have probably heard 90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fisherman.  The reason why this holds true is that the anglers who catch the most fish know where the fish will be located under ...

October

Heck yeah! Here we go October is here and the fall transition is right on track.  As an angler you know that October is the month that the fall fishing begins and even though you can still catch fish on the rigs and outer islands due to the water temperatures the fish are on the move.  As the days begin to get shorter and the Fall Equinox as hit, the larger tides start the big migration of bait fish and predators into the interior marshes where us anglers are quick to pick them off.  Those anglers that fish artificial lures definitely love this time of year because we can coax fish into biting almost anything.  As shrimp, ponies and mullet migrate in for the winter months this signals to the predator fish to be right on their heels to begin the feeding frenzy before the winter sets in and times get hard. As the tides begin to push and pull large schools of bait speckled trout, redfish, drum and other predators will locate themselves at choke points and gorge ...

May Report & News

FISHING REPORT Hello, Bayou Charters Fans!!!  What a year so far! Because most of you follow us on Facebook , you have seen the outrageous fishing trips that we have been having since the beginning of the year.  Limits of redfish have been flying in on all boats super early everyday! Catching and releasing has been the name of the game, with 100’s of fish being caught everyday!  I have been in business 25 years, and I have never seen the redfishing anything like it is right now! For the speckled trout fishing, shrimp were late this year and just starting to hit the exterior bays and lakes, so we are beginning to catch trout pretty good.  With the Mississippi River at the highest recorded level, we are fighting the freshwater near the river. The great thing is that we can head east towards the Biloxi Marsh and Breton Sound, (which we normally fish later in the year), but the trout are waiting on the reefs and rigs! ULTIMATE FATHER’S DAY GIVEAWAY Everyo...
