SPRING HAS SPRUNG and just like it should be this time of the year, the fishing has fallen into place! The redfish are flooding the interior marshes and becoming quite easy to find and catch. Live shrimp are already available at the bait house and which is the earliest we’ve been able to purchase live bait ever!!  What does this mean to you, the angler and customer?  We will be heading into the sound to fish rigs and islands catching trout earlier on the outside. It makes more productive days on catching redfish and drum in the interior marshes.

See ya soon!

July Fishing

Well , anglers, the heat is on but don't let that discourage you from getting out and taking advantage of the awesome fishing right now!  With the increase of water temps, the fish begin to feed early and late in the day. Speckled trout tend to follow this pattern more than other species that we target during the summer months.  As water temps increase during the day, fish tend to slow down some unless you follow this one rule of thumb. When temps increase, you increase the depth that you fish!!! That’s right the warmer the water the deeper you need to present your bait.  I love to fish shallow early with artificial baits like MirrOlure She Dogs and She Pups in the bone and silver patterns, but if you are a live bait angler then you need to fish around islands and reefs early with VersaMaxx Bolt Corks. Try popping the corks every 3-5 seconds but try not moving the cork, leave a little slack in the line and pop.  The reason for this is you want to call the ...

TRANSITION PERIOD The year is flying by faster and faster each year!  We are now moving into our late Summer transition period where our fish are going to start schooling up in certain areas and the fishing is going to begin to get even crazier than it has been.   As many of you know the Fall and Winter fishing in our area, east of the Mississippi, is the most productive in the world.   This is the time of year when duck hunting trips begin with Blast and Cast Packages , shorter boat rides to the fishing grounds, and ice chests of fish that are flowing over you should make sure to come and see us.   The transition period is one that the fish move daily due to the huge amounts of bait moving from the outer waters to the interior bays.  This movement to the interior bays allows us anglers to catch many species together at one fishing spot!  Yep, speckled trout, redfish, drum, flounder and largemouth bass can be caught on the same VersaMaxx cork prese...
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 ...
