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!

Hey Anglers!!!!! Well, the winter is coming to a close and spring has sprung. As normal we are coming into another awesome year and projections are that we are going to have an above normal year on Speckled Trout, Redfish and Drum due to the bumper crop of offspring of these species had last year. We are in the final planning stages of building new lodging onsite behind our existing lodges to accommodate more anglers and to offer options to our clients. Due to the overwhelming demand and need for onsite meals, we partnered with one of the local restaurants to offer, if needed, Breakfast Sandwiches, Lunch, and Dinner. Meals such as Shrimp Creole, Crawfish or Shrimp Étouffée, Boiled Crawfish or Shrimp or Gumbo just to list a few. Nicole can help you with the orders to make your experience one to remember. Bookings have been early this year! It seems that you are getting into the groove with Nicole on getting your trips booked ...

Hey everyone! I hope your New Year is going great! As you know, February is now upon us and our fishing hasn't slowed down. Redfish and Drum are filling the ice chests every trip. As a matter of fact, we have limited or filled the chest till we couldn't close the lid in every January trip. With the mild winter, the fish never really moved into the winter patterns. If you like fishing during the Fall run, it has never stopped!!! It has been so warm that Campo ’ s Marina still have live shrimp as of January 31st!! We have been fishing under a cork with live shrimp in shallow ponds. The fish are schooled in tight groups, so once we get on them, it is triples and quadruples till the limits are done. Reds and Drum are filling the chests but the speckled trout are around too. They have been coming off current passes and small lakes either using corks with shrimp or soft plastics retrieved slow and steady. I am in the proc...
