Little fella got on the boat and asked, "Capt. Ryan, can we please just catch redfish?" Off to the marsh we went loaded with campos live shrimp and popping corks. We found a pattern that the fish were on. They wanted to be off the banks and in the small grass beds. Once we got them in a good rhythm with popping the corks and drawing attention to the fish, it was on. The live shrimp danced around and the redfish were hungry and very aggressive. They fought hard from hookset to the net. Great fay amd the smiles on this kids face was priceless.

It was a super windy day for Brandus, but we had a blast. She traveled from Georgia just to experience what Shell Beach, Louisiana had to offer and she got everything she could of asked for from her first redfish, her biggest (which we lost the picture of it somehow) and the most fish on one trip shes ever caught. Even though it was windy from this small cool front that passed by, the north winds didn't blow amy of the water out like it usually does. So we started with a decent tide, and it was on the rise all day. We hit the marsh loaded with live shrimp from campos Marina. Once i got her in the groove of popping the cork hard enough to grab the attention of any fish in the area, it was on. The water was dirty and rough, so it took a lot of casting and trying to figure out what the fish wanted and where they wanted to be. We got a pattern fairly quick and went to work on the redfish. Shs lost 2 monster flounder rite at the boat. Just the way it goes, rite.

I had the Marsh and Bayou magazine reach out to me wanting to do an article on Red Snapper since the season had opened early this year. Ray and I took off early out of my dock at 445am and straight offshore we went. We hit the first rig and yielded a few small ones, so we hit another rig close by and literally limited out with 8 beautiful snapper in less then 25 mins. With the rollers getting higher and closer together we decided to leave and head home. On the way in, it started getting calmer, so i decided, i had shrimp left over from yesterday's trip. We hit one spot on the rocks for speckled trout and low and behold, they were there and hungry. We flipped speckled trout over the gunnles of my Bluewave pretty quick. We got our limit and rolled out. The fishing down in Shell Beach Louisiana is as hott as it can get rite now. Dont miss out, come down and check us out.
