August Report

DON'T FISH BAYOU SELF...FISH WITH BAYOU CHARTERS!!

BIGGER FISH

Well, it has been a hot and wet year so far and this month’s projection is that we are going to have a dry and warm end to the year.  August and September are our months for larger fish like, Monster Redfish, Huge Black Drum, Specks on croakers, Sharks and Jack Crevalle.  Now our normal redfish in the marshes and specks along the shallow gas rigs will be there for fish to bring home but boy do our clients love catching all of the big fish this time of year.  So, if you are an angler that loves catching the biggest fish of your life, book your trip now through the end of September for the “Big Fish Experience.”

LODGE & DOCK IMPROVEMENTS

We have a lot going on here at Bayou Charters.  First, many of our clients over the past few years have told us that it would be nice if we had an elevator to get up and down from the lodge.  Well, we are in the final stages of having a true ADA approved passenger elevator! You can ride up to the lodges or just use it to bring supplies up and down for ease and convince.  As always we want to make sure that our clients have the best and make their trip not only a memorable one but the most relaxing and easy.  So get ready for an easy and stress free stay at our lodge with no carrying heavy ice chests, food or luggage up to the lodge anymore!!!

Second, we are adding to our dock to offer our guides easier parking, more area to store their fishing supplies, and to have a larger ice machine.  I am also in the in process of adding an area or shop that you can purchase Bayou Charters items such as, tee shirts, hats, visors, rain coats, fishing shirts and much more after your trip.  This has been something that our clients are always asking for but we really didn’t have the space to house the items but now we will!  

Third and the last thing we have improved on is our first level “Captain’s Quarters” gathering area under the lodge!  This area has become the talk of our clients and some additional items are coming soon.  We are going to install a sound system for those who would like to listen to music while they are sitting and relaxing on the deck along with a new platform where the new elevator can stop at this level for easy offloading of supplies and ice chests. 


TRIP GIVEAWAY

Don’t forget we are running our “Bayou Charters Experience Giveaway” until the end of September.  If you book a trip to fish within July 1st and September 30th, 2017, you will be entered for a chance to win this awesome 8-person trip all inclusive including fishing, lodging, dinner the night before and Bayou Charters t-shirts for 2018.
I want to personally thank all of our clients for your continued loyalty and feedback so we can make your trips not only a fun time but also a memorable experience.  REMEMBER!!!! Fall is an extremely busy time of year for our fishing charters and lodging. We are already booking up, and I want to accommodate all of you. If you have never fished during the Fall and Winter runs, you need to! Our fishing is awesome!  Short runs and cooler temperatures bring Speckled Trout, Redfish, Black Drum, and Flounder are all caught out of the same fishing spots.  Call Nicole as soon as possible and get on the books before all the dates are gone!

Don’t forget to give us Google, Facebook and TripAdvisor ratings or reviews!!!

Thanks, 
Capt Charlie Thomason

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...
