Saltwater and Freshwater species can live in the same place!? This is my first time ever fishing in Louisiana, and I managed to catch fresh and salt water species in the same spot, using the same bait! Bayou la Loutre, Hopedale HWY
Louisiana is called Sportsman Paradise for a reason. You had a shot at catching freshwater catfish, red and black drum, croakers, speckle trout, and bass. And many more species are in the marsh, brackish water! Dead shrimp on the bottom, tip that jig with dead shrimp, or add a cork! Good luck in Louisiana!!
That was a Hybrid Striped bass. Yeah man cool video. You can do that same trip in a million places on side the road in the sportsman paradise. You would freak out on a real Speckled Trout bite
As of November 20th , 2023 trout regulations are as follows trout now has to be 13inch to 20 inch, and 2 of them can be over 20 inch and a limit of 15 now. Tight Lines.
Dude… so well done! Loved the video and loved seeing someone with your passion and joy for fishing experiencing and catching in Louisiana for the first time!! You picked a GREAT spot. I have been to that exact area in my kayak. Glad the folks were kind to you… something you will find throughout Louisiana and definitely in the coastal fishing communities. Some excellent catches. Was cool to see you discover those ‘teeth’ on the trout!! Haha. They will tear your fingers UP!! Supposed to have 2 teeth, but often they have one missing. And yes… serious slime (it protects their bodies and is key to handle carefully like you did so that they survive). Hope you enjoyed all of Louisiana and continue to have great travels and good fishing. Subbed! My channel will give you more of the Louisiana fishing experience… especially catching those big redfish you were looking for! Cheers! ThePentUpAngler - Mark
I appreciate the kind words! Had a blast fishing down here! Excited to check your channel out! Couldn’t get on any Reds this time, but I’ll definitely be back!!
Where was that spot at. I'm going down to south Louisiana in a week to do some fishing and crabbing and have never been down there and done any of it. Alittle help will help. Thanks
I am a subscriber, I’d recommend 3 places near my area, Thornapple River Downtown GR sixth street bridge Muskegon River is very popular as well Definitely let us as fans know when you head to Michigan
As an Iowa boy that now lives in southeast Texas fishing the coastal waters is hard you never know what you are about catch lol its weird sensation unless your flounder gign
That is Louisiana hwy 624 along Bayou La Loutre. The bridge crosses the bayou in Yscloskey Louisiana. On winter mornings when the temperature goes down to freezing redfish between 5 to 30 pounds are stacked up right there and 50 or so people will be fishing there catching limits.
IBEW sweatshirt, only reason I correct you is because that thing is like 5 layers and a replacement for a winter coat! Love it for ice fishing! However it’s not mine, but I’m always game to team up on a day of fishing! I’ll be back in Iowa during March!
