I watched what seemed to be an unending parade of barges filled with mountains of crushed concrete arrive and dump their contents onto the lake floor to create a five-acre artificial reef, all from the back porch of my home on Lake Pontchartrain’s Northshore.[…]
The river has been low and the water around the mouth is a luscious, trout green. All you need to complete this picture is a good location for a boat and a shrimp under a cork.[…]
I planned on a quick freshwater crabbing in June, combining some fishing for catfish while waiting for my nets to fill with blue paws.[…]
The spring inshore shrimp season closes at 6 p.m Thursday (July 12) from the eastern shore of the Calcasieu Ship Channel to to the Texas state line, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announced today.[…]

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.[…]
