Dear Capt. Paul:
I am from the New Orleans area and am looking to go to the sulfur mines. Been there before but do not remember how to get there. Can you give me some directions and maybe the address? Thank you so much for helping. I am looking forward to catching some specks and reds. I have not been fishing in years and wanted to try to get back in it.[…]
I have watched with sadness the rapidity of change along the Louisiana coastline. Delacroix is a shell of what it was when I first ventured out of End of the World Marina almost two decades ago with then-editor Todd Masson.[…]
Capt. Marty LaCoste with Absolute Fishing Charters exited the mouth of Bayou DuLarge at Pelican Pass. Only this time, rather than pointing his bay boat toward more-familiar destinations like Coon Point and the Mardi Gras rig, he turned sharply toward the west and ran the coastline toward the often-overlooked Oyster Bayou.
LaCoste spotted some action on the surface as he neared his destination and soon realized he was looking at speckled trout jumping out of the water to eat shrimp that were doing the same.[…]
Season dates for 2012 early migratory hunting were set and dates for the regular 2012-13 waterfowl season were proposed today during the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission meeting.[…]
Fans of professional bass fishing are used to hearing “VanDam” at the top of Bassmaster Elite Series results, so the winner of this weekend’s stop at Lake Michigan probably wasn’t a big surprise at a casual glance.[…]

When largemouth bass play hard to get, it’s time to pull out the clichéd yet profoundly applicable allusion of the tortoise and the hare.[…]
Now, with all this talk of subtle presentations with baits that are mostly made for such approaches, let’s not overlook the fact that bass lures built for speed don’t necessarily have to move at a peppy pace all the time.[…]
Side-viewing sonar has proven invaluable for many aspects of the bass fishing game, but Johnston said it’s particularly strategic during the hot months because it helps locate bait schools. Find the food and you’ll find the bass.[…]
Pelayo eased back on the throttle, and we idled toward shore at (what’s left) of Grand Gosier Island. We gaped at water that looked more like Destin’s Crab Island or the Florida Keys than anything usually within reach of a Louisiana marina.[…]
It’s a scenario every angler is familiar with. You heard the fish were biting in the outside waters at the islands and rigs just off the coast. According to all the reports, the action has been spectacular.[…]
Whatever area you prefer to fish, a good Plan B is vital.[…]
The broad-chested guy sitting in the driver’s seat of the big Ford pick-up cleared his throat, as if preparing to speak. I glanced over at him. In the dark, the glow from the truck’s dash lights made his chiseled features appear even sharper.[…]
As a bunch, speckled trout fishermen are obsessed with water clarity and color. Everyone seems to look for “trout green” water that is clear enough to see bait an arm’s length down.[…]
July is when trout seem to be everywherere along the coast, while bass anglers can find hot-weather success by modifying their tactics.[…]
