Redfishing Biloxi Marsh running me ragged
Well another beautiful day in the Biloxi Marsh launch at 0500 am this morning out of BSM, wanted to beat the crowds of BP workers that have to report to work early in the morning down the road...!! that's road is real busy after 0500 am so get to BSM early!!!!

I talk to the engineers that bridge is only temporary until they get a new bridge built where the old one is, for those who have been wondering!

I sure wish people would post some reports, not that i don't like catching limits everyday 15 minutes from the launch and releasing until my hands turn blue, with the peace and serentity of NO one around me in well known areas,, but I saw atleast 40 trailors in the lot at 1100am and .....

Got the Reds
Took the in-laws to Coco for Labor Day weekend.
Johnny (father-in-law)and I left Red Oak Camp Saturday morning in route to Last Island. Upon arrival we found birds picking on north side. He had a blast catching 2 at a time. Most were too small, but did manage 20 keepers. Went around to gulf side and found better trout. 24 nice ones.
He also caught his first bull red (16#). Broke off 2 more. Wind got high, slow boat ride back in.
Said it was one of the best fishing trips he had been on. That made my day. He did great for 71 yrs. old. Sunday big winds. Took Carolyn (ma-in-law) on boat ride to see porpoise in nav. canal.
Wonderful time at Red Oak. Be back Oct. 2 for Cabela's Trout Tourney.

dalcambre canal catfish
WENT TO THE DALCAMBRE CANAL AND CAUGHT THESE CATFISH ON SHRIMP.

from ms. to la.
want to learn my way from west coast of ms. toward lake bornge area. can you run it in a small 16'bass boat saftly? are there any markers to follow? what about half moon island? we go to empire/venice each year but driving 3.5 hrs versus 7 hrs. sure sounds good.thanks for any help.

Galveston Bay
Anyone know what the fishing is like in the Galveston Bay area? What is the population of specs/reds like compared to an area like cocodrie or Big Lake? Will be spending some time in Houston and I am trying to figure out if it is worth towing the boat or not.

Inshore Bite Has Been On Fire For Week Now! Let's Fish!
Sorry for not posting lately, but for TEAM BRODIE CHARTERS it has been a real busy couple of weeks, and I had trouble logging back in.

Anyway, the inshore fishing has been incredible, and the white trout, ground mullet, and black drum have been on fire.

Catches between 100 to 200 white trout have been the norm, and some really nice black drum have been adding to the rod bending action on each trip.

Haven't been to the isles because the inshore bite has been hard to get away from for most anglers. However, the pompano are out there just need some anglers to help me fish for them Any takers?

Hey, September and October are two of the best fishing months of the year, and big ..... Read More

Dularge Redfish/Trout Action
A great day to be on the water yesterday 'DOWN IN DULARGE'! I fished with Willie Champagne & Gene Ordoyne who were hoping to find some fish for their tail-gateing Saints party tonight. We started off looking for trout in a couple areas and found nothing at all. We hit paydirt at our 3rd location and filled the box to the top. We caught well over 100 fish and the guys kept their 50 fish limit. LSU chubs did all the damage. We caught 10 reds on the way back to the dock on the chubs making for a very good day of 'catching'! I'm finding the trout are starting their northward migration as the fish are stacking up on the reefs and feeding heavy on shrimp. October should be a great month for ..... Read More

I plan to do some trout fishing this weekend
I plan on taking my son out this weekend to catch some specks or what ever we can catch. Any good reports around Hwy 11 bridge or the Slidel twin spans. Any good tips on baits you used would greatly be appreciated also. Thanks a million.

Fall Fishing in Charleston
According to Captain John Fuss of Charleston, “The fishing for September seems to be a great start to the fall season.”

“Catches of large red drum both in the breakers and at the Charleston Jettys have been steady.” says Capt. John. “Try fishing on the bottom using fish finder or Carolina rigs with 3oz. weights and # 7/0 circle hooks, tipped with cut menhaden or mullet.”

Capt. John says that the creeks should also be seeing shrimp start to filter in from the ocean, triggering the trout, smaller reds, and flounder. “Concentration on working the whitewash shell points with popping corks for these fish.”

The artificial bite will also start to strengthen for those that like fishing ..... Read More

Venice Update
Good morning guys. It has been sometime since I have made a post simply due to the fact of nothing to report other than the obvious. Enough of that. It seems our summer has come and gone and fall will be soon upon us. I ran north from Port Eads yesterday morning at daylight heading north and flocks of pintails were flying high above the river. The amount of teal in the area right now is strong. Pass a Loutre has alot of birds right now as well as Baptist. The work done by airboats has been suspended for a month so if you decide to come down this weekend you won't be bothered by them. The forecast for the rest of the week looks great for anyone looking to get out. The redfishing right now is ..... Read More

teaching young
My friend Archie and I found a few hours before the LSU game to bring the boys Trawling. we only pulled for about 1 1/2 hours before the trawl broke. the boys had a blast picking out the shrimp and the crabs for us to boil later that night. it was fun teaching them how to drive the boat with a trawl in the water, and to read the GPS. hopefully he will be strong enough to pull the ropes and boards in soon.

Four Days of Awesome Fishing at Gosier Island!
Fished Friday through Labor Day at Gosier Island, limited out with 50 Friday, 50 Saturday, came up short Sunday 3 people 68 Trout, and Monday (Labor Day) 47 Trout. Except for around 2 dozen Trout picked up at Breton Island on Friday, all Trout were 2 to 4 lbs. It was rough going out Saturday and Sunday morning, we had very few fish before noon. However both days around 2 p.m. the wind died down to nothing and the fish turned on heavy, both days producing doubles of 2 to 4's as quickly as you could boat them. Again rough today on Labor Day without the gift of it calming down this afternoon. The island was protected with the southeast wind and Trout turned on late morning after the tide ..... Read More

Reds in the ponds
Good day at Pointe a la hache. Slow start in the morning but picked up as the day went along. Fish caught on LSU Chubs and shrimp under cork on the windward shore line. Third day in a row with good catches each day.

Dull
I'm tired of the wife complaning of dull knives. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a good knife sharpener? Not looking for cheap but don't want to break the bank. Would like an automatic type so the wife can sharpen when ever she needs. Please be specific if you have had good results with a particular model. Thanks for anyone's suggestions/recommendations.

Another Redfish SLAM 9-7-10
Awesome day on the water today with my six year old son and best friend since high school. We fished from 10-1pm catching our limit of reds. A little bit slower today as they would bite in spurts. It was great to watch my son reel in all these fish as he had a total blast!!! He needed some assistance with some of the bigger fish, but did a great job by himself. Incredible time for sure, thanks Brandon for joining us.

If you havent checked out this weeks Sportsman's Paradise show yet, you need to watch it. They recorded some incredible footage of the RED TIDE.

Labor Day trip
Short report from a Labor day trip out of the BSM. Ralph and Richard met me at the house around 6 am and we headed to BSM I had the ice and charged batteries this time. We headed across the MRGO to the north side of the marsh ended up out around Bob's Lake. We fished the edges cut's and openings trying to stay out of the waves and wind hardly a bite with the exception of the occasional Catfish. We stayed at it looking for Red Fish Bayou I had missed it the first try but ended up in a cove where we actually caught a few trout. Very few but more than what we caught Saturday which was none. That played out we kept moving around the area hoping to get back on a bite but never happened. Went ..... Read More

Three Claw Crab
My son caught this crab in the lagoon at Grand Isle State Park on Saturday. We were shocked at the deformed claw. First thing we all joked about was 'Thanks BP'. This one is in our freezer until we can figure how to preserve it. We want to hang it on the wall.

Winning fish
Here is the Ultimate winning TAGGED redfish.

Grand Isle Trip
Hit up Grand Isle Saturday. I didn't realize the Redfish Rodeo was going on, but no big deal. Everyone seemed to be off the trout and sinking cut bait for reds in the pass.

Trout bite was virtually non-existent for us in the morning as the tide was coming to a halt. Water clarity on the beach was 6 out of 10. Tide finally dropped hard around 830am and the trout started feeding. The ONLY thing we could get them to hit consistently was live finger mullet. They didn't want plastics, pogies, or topwaters. I normally don't care for fishing live bait too much, but if its all they're hitting, I give 'em what they want. No limits, but had some solid fish in the two-three pound range. ..... Read More

Bull Reds off Pier in Grand Isle State Park
Saturday and Sunday nights the Bull Reds were running off of the fishing pier in Grand Isle State Park. Average weight 20 - 25 lbs. Heres a picture of the 25 pounder my son caught. Saturday night a total of 7 were caught by all the people on the pier. Sunday night 4 were taken until we left the pier. They put up such a great fight and were fun to reel in. Make sure you have a gaf on a rope or a fish net to pull up these monsters. The pier is pretty high and you can't pull them up with your line. Use cut up Mullet for bait they seem to like that or whole crab. They don't start running until about 9 - 10 pm. We were out until 3 am on Saturday night. Have fun!

Record Blue Marlin
Fishing off of Charleston for Dolphin in May and landed an 850lb blue marlin. We were told that it would have been a state record if we had killed it. We released it so that another could enjoy landing a marlin.

LA MARSH REPORT

TEACHER & STUDENT ! ! !

I had the good fortune to fish with Lloyd Brandt and his good friend Randy. Randy came in from the Atlanta area. Lloyd taught Randy in college over 10 years ago. They are good friends and love to fish. When they told me of some of the great guides they have fished with in the past, I knew I couldn't come back in without a limit. Charlie Thomason, Frank Moore to name a few. With the water high in the grass the Redfish were hard to reach But this team stuck with it to put a limit in the box. They were ready to call it a day one short of the limit But I talked them into fishing 15 more minutes and Lloyd caught ..... Read More
