Well the fishing has been off the charts for sure due to the warmer weather.  With water temps over 65 deg the trout are going to be scattered but the reds should be in pods around 20 fish.  I fished up in Lake Lery for some fun yesterday and there are a lot of redfish for sure along the southern banks where the marsh is broken up good.  Left there and headed over to Grand Lake and it was the same as Lery but the fish were up between the opening of Sun Lagoon and the small bayou that pours out to the west.  The entire bank had fish but it also had a lot of boats.

Quick tip, this time of year make sure to allow your motor to warm up before heading out. I always allow my Honda 225 hp to warm up about 15 minutes before I head down the bayou!!  Also, cooler weather we have to make sure that we use  Ethanol Free gas, this time of year we use our motors less so our boats stay idle allowing condensation to occur with the fluctuation of temperatures.  It is so easy to combat this by using a fuel treatment additive like STA-BIL which will keep the condensation down between trips.

Keep fishing remember start stocking up on gulps they are going to be one of the best baits when the water really gets cold!!

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...
