Bottleneck Buzz

July 30, 2007 Chris Ginn

One of the old adages in fishing is that it really doesn’t matter if you tell other anglers where you were fishing or what you caught them on because, more than likely, they aren’t going to be able to go back and duplicate the same pattern. […]

Golden Meadow reds bite despite wind

May 29, 2007 Chris Ginn

As much as Capt. Chad Dufrene (985-637-6357) would like to get to the trout along the coast below Golden Meadow, the wind just isn’t letting him do it right now. That’s all right with him, though, because the redfish in the ponds are keeping him busy while he waits for the winds to lie.[…]

Lafitte anglers side-stepping fronts

April 17, 2007 Chris Ginn

The last cold front that blew through Southeast Louisiana scattered muddy water from Lafitte to Grand Isle, and it scattered the speckled trout just as far. Capt. Mike Daigle with Cast-It Charters (504-915-9480 or 985-331-8548) is still catching a few fish, but he said he’s having to fish 20 places just to catch 20 trout.[…]

Capt. Cade Thomas and I began our day catching bass on worms and jigs flipped to the edges of the cane in Delta Duck. We finished up about 7 hours later by releasing a big bull red that had inhaled Thomas’ Bayou Chub.[…]
