Delacroix Report:

Tough day today in Delacroix. We pulled up into our first spot overjoyed to see bait spraying everywhere. We proceded to cast into the activity and only caught a handfull of fish. The water was extremely dirty and getting worse by the minute. That was the story of the day. We hit a dozen more places to only catch a couple at each. Dissapointing because it was beautiful in the marsh today. Breezy, cool and low humidity. I was hoping to get a good catch in before we potentually get oiling from this oil spill. Be safe out there.

Delacroix Report:

The Delacroix marsh yielded fish yesterday. The morning started out with little wind and we ventured into an interior lake that was hot on Tuesday. The spot did not dissapoint as my guests caught fish on two out of the first three casts. It was looking good as trout, redfish and flounder started getting cold in the fish box. Then they started flying around, landing on us and then sucking blood - gnats! Man those things are the scourge of the earth. The gnat bite was too much to bear and we had to leave the fish bite to get 50 mph relief. After a short run, we settled into a bend of an interior bayou to find that the wind had picked up slightly and sent the gnats packing back to the marsh grass. Welcome relief! The tide was diminishing quick and we only picked up one trout before the slack. We then headed out to try and catch the rising tide. We hit a flat adjacent to a deep river. The tide was just starting to spill onto the flat from the river. The spot did not have much time to make up and we only caught a few trout and reds. We hit a few move points on the way out to the exterior bays. The wind really picked up out of the South and started the dirty the waters. We would pick up a few at each stop, but never could get a sustained bite going. This ended up being the theme for the day as we caught enough fish to make a respectible box, but never really got them going good. The fish were of exceptional quality though. The trout were in the 17-19" class with very few throwbacks. The reds were perfect slot size and the flounder approached doormat status. The artificial was the best again today. The hot bait was a cocahoe in smoke color on a 3/8 ounce jighead. The water temperature was 78 degrees when we left our last spot. Things are looking better and the area is poised to break loose at any time. The trout had eggs that appear to be a couple of weeks from ripening. This weekend does not look good with strong storms on Saturday and strong winds on Sunday. Good luck and be safe out there!

Delacroix Report:

Great fishing yesterday in the Delacroix Marsh. Brisk NE winds greeted us which did not matter since we were fishing inside the protection of the marsh. It actually kept it cool and the voracious gnats at bay! We caught fish at every spot we tried except for one. Ironically, the only place we did not catch fish is typically one of my best producing inside spots. On the flip side, I learned two new spots and will be back to work them over in the very near future. We caught trout, redfish, flounder and black drum along with a few gafftopsail catfish and hardhead catfish. The artificial lure was king today. The hot bait was a cocahoe in smoke color on a 3/8 ounce jighead. We did catch a few fish on live cocahoes carolina rigged. The trout were up to 17" with very few undersized fish. The reds were perfect grillers 18-22" with a few bulls up to 34" mixed in. We also battled two giant black drum in the 30 lb class. We fished the interior marsh working choke points and passes. The fishing is getting ready to bust wide open so get out there and get into the action!

Delacroix Report:

No tidal movement today out of Delacroix. The tidal range was .7 feet and was supposed to rise until early afternoon, but we could not find it. I guess the water has been so high, that there is a head for the fall and it was at a standstill. We tried a few rising tide spots early with only a few trout to show for the effort. Fished both inside and outside and could not find moving water. Decided to find some artificial movement by playing the wind driven water. Set up on a point way South and drifted live shrimp under corks. The trout finally started to feed and we got into a nice mess up to 20" with no undersized fish. We also picked up redfish, flounder and black drum in the mix. It turned out to be a nice box of fish. When you are given lemons, you have to make lemonade! The tidal range for Friday looks like .2 feet rising till noonish, but it is anybodys guess as to what will actually happen. Good luck out there this weekend!

Delacroix Report:

Several thundershowers around Delacroix this morning. Reminded my guests not to forget the rain gear and we headed out. Stopped short to avoid running into one of the rain cells and fished a deep canal adjacent to an interior lake. The trout were eating up live shrimp carolina rigged. Trout 12-17" with many throwbacks mixed in. With a storm rapidly approaching, we had the choice to run around or donn rain gear and tough it out. We stuck it out and fished in the rain for about 15 minutes. We kept catching fish too! Once the rains cleared, nothing threatened again until we were done and cleaning up at the dock. It looks like the transition from outside to inside has begun. It is nice to be able to get on numbers of fish and only burn 6 gallons of gas! It should only get better from this point. Good luck out there this week!

Delacroix report:

Good trout bite this morning in Breton Sound. Little bumpy on the way out with the SE wind. Set the pole up current of a reef and started hauling big trout in the boat. The fish were 14-21". We measured and threw back 2 trout today. The fish wanted live shrimp carolina rigged. The artificials held their own, but could not keep up with the shrimp today. We burned through 200 live shrimp and were still catching on the artificials. A big rain cell formed SW of us and headed our way. We pulled and ran east to another reef, but it was occupied. We hopped around a couple of wells, but did not produce. Saw a window in the rain to get back to the marsh and decided to take it. Hit a couple of inside spots while waiting out a big cell over Delacroix. There were big cells behind us too. A very close lightning strike was the last straw and we headed for the barn. The outside bite is still strong. The weather for the weekend looks good. Get out there and catch some.

Delacroix Report:

Had to run through a light rain this morning as we headed outside early. I hate getting wet on the ride out fishing. It was a good trout catch this AM though. Wer hit a close in Black Bay reef very early this morning. I set up half the group on live shrimp carolina rigged and the other half on artificial cocahoes. After the sun came up and you could see, I switched the shrimp group under short corks and then back to the carolina. The trout were hitting the shallow bait, but the hookup ratio was poor - should have switched to treble hooks. Both groups rod were bending with trout in the 14-22" class. The school had alot of 15" males to go with the 3 lb sows. It was fast and furious for a while and then it would slow, but pick up again. I guess the school was swimming circles around the reef. The live bait group was a little hampered from their festivities the night before and fished admirablty, but the artificial group was the clear winner. Alot of rain cells around us, but we did not get wet again. Hit a couple of redfish holes on the ride back to the slip. Picked up a rat red, but were really bidding our time as a big rain cell was soaking Delacroix. The cell moved off and we hit the dock to clean up. It looks like we may see some effects of a tropical system over the next few days. I stowed everything pretty tight at the slip just in case things turn sour with the weather. There may be a window in the morning, but significant chances of big bands of rain hitting the area are forecast. Good luck out there.

Delacroix Report:

The excellent fishing contiunues out of Delacroix. We hit a reef in the bay early and were catching trout before the sun came up. The trout were hungry for live shrimp carolina rigged and fished 2' under corks. The live bait outfished the artificial cocahoes today. We were fishing in 10 feet of water and catching trout up to 22" on top and bottom at the same time. The reef was just swarming with trout. We finished with the trout and headed back to the marsh to chase reds. We hit the windward side of an island and got into redfish, black drum, sheepshead and flounder. A real mixed bag. The thunder bumpers started to build up so we headed back to the dock and barely made it in before the skies opened up. A good day on the water! The tides look good for the rest of the weekend and the weather should allow for some fishing time in the AM before the chances of rain increase in the PM. Good luck out there!

Delacroix Report:

Good fishing yesterday both on the inside and the outside. Headed out toward Breton Sound yesteday AM and noticed shrimp jumping off a point in a lake. Stopped to check it out and my guests got into a good trout bite. We were throwing plastics and live shrimp to hungry trout. These fish were 13-15" with a few undersized throwbacks. The bite slowed and we headed out again toward the Sound. Easy boat ride with no wind to speak of. Hit the first rig to find big hungry sow trout up to 3.5 lbs. These fish wanted live shrimp carolina rigged and artificial cocahoes slow rolled. The fish were off the rig well over a cast legnth. Repositioned the boat slightly and got them coming to the net quick. A storm brewed up to the NW and the wind started blowing from the East and it got rough quick. Decided to leave the fish biting and head back to the boat slip with as good box of fish. The fishing action is outstanding whether you are looking for inside action or outside action. That is one of the things I love about fishing Delacroix! The weekend looks like significant chance of rain and diminishing tidal ranges. Not the best conditions for fishing. Good luck out there this weekend!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix report:

The fishing this week has been steady. We have picked up trout both inside and outside. Inside, the above average tide has moved some of the fish well up on the flats, but most have moved into the adjacent deeper water. These fish are 13-18" with few throwbacks. We are getting them to bite artificial cocahoes slow bumped off the bottom in the deep water and a moderate retreive over the flats. Best colors have been smoke and alvacado, but the LSU color has had a presence. Outside we have been working rigs, reefs and wells in Black Bay and Breton Sound. Most are not holding the motherload, so we are hopping from one to the next until the box fills. These trout have been better size 15-24". The artificial and live are in a close race. Live shrimp and croakers carolina rigged have lured some lunkers into the boat! We have caught the most fish rig hooking to the structure and casting away. There have been alot of Redfish Cup boats in the area scouting for next weeks showdown. Be safe out there this weekend!

Delacroix Report:

Weekend wrap up. Good fishing this weekend in spite of weather. Rain on us several times Friday and all around us Saturday AM. Consistent strong westerly winds Friday and the wind started westerly moved to Northerly and ended out of the East on Saturday. We opted to stay inside on Friday and worked points and cuts picking up nice sized speckled trout, white trout, black drum, redfish and sheepshead. Most fish caught on artificial cocahoes, but some fell to live shrimp under corks and carolina rigged. Saturday we ventured deep into Breton Sound rig, well and reef hopping until we hit the river water. We stayed outside for several hours braving rough water and watching big storms work North, West and South of us. We caught fish, but it was extremely slow. The fish wanted live shrimp carolina rigged. The storms broke up so we worked our way back toward the marsh catching a few more big trout along the way. Stopped at an island and instantly got into trout action. These fish wanted artificial cocahoes on a fast retieve and live shrimp shallow under corks. We stayed on this steady bite until it was time to head home. The weather looks better for the upcoming week and we well be out there chasing them. Good luck out there this week!

Delacroix Report:

Late cancellation last night so the wife and the kids got the nod this morning. Hit the water at 9 AM for a quick trip. First spot on the inside yielded both kids first fish. Son is 4 and daughter is 3 years old. Speckled trout 16 - 20". Easy fishing and lots of action with live shrimp 2' under corks. Those short kids snoopy poles work great! The wife was catching her share to keep the guide busy too. The action was solid, but the 3 year old got too hot so we enjoyed an artificial breeze at 40 mph for a while. Hit another spot and found hungry fish again. More solid trout 14-17". No throwbacks all morning. Well, the temperature rises as soon as you shut down the boat and the daughter and the wife were hot again. Took a pole of the boat, boys wanted to stay, girls wanted to go. Majority rules, so we were off the water before noon. We did not limit, but given a little more time, it would have happened and that was not the purpose of this trip. Great day on the water with my family! The fishing action is outstanding both inside and outside. Good luck out there this weekend!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

Big trout was the request by my guests this AM. Aiming to please we glided deep into Breton Sound to work submerged reefs in 10-15' of water. The first stop picked up a few trout on several different set ups. These fish were 15-18" and wanted artificial cocahoes slow twitched off the bottom. No sustained action so we were off even deeper into the Sound. Hit another reef and well head only to find Mississippi River water on the top. Moved back West to the clean water and settled against a small rig. It took a while to find where the fish were and what they wanted, but when we did it was continuous action with many double and a few triples in the net at once. Talk about exciting, big trout up to 4 lbs flopping on the floor. These fish preferred the artificial cocahoe slow bounced on bottom. It got hot and we needed some air movement so we worked our way back inside stopping at a few wells and islands. We found more specks up to 3 lbs. Good action all day! The fish are everywhere, inside and outside. Get out and catch some!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

After a cancellation on Tuesday due to the incliment weather, we hit the water early this AM hoping for better conditions. Well it was better, but far from ideal. First stop in an interior pass yielded trout after trout on artificial cocahoes and live shrimp carolina rigged. Only problem was most of the trout were undersized. My guests waded through the small ones and every third trout would make the box. The keepers were 12-16". The wind really picked up out of the West and changed the way the current line layed which shut us down. Made a short move to a point adjacent to a deep river and put the wind into our backs. We were working the current line coming around the point and the trout were hungry. We picked up nice trout 18-20" on live shrimp under corks and on artificial slow rolled off the bottom. The box was looking much better when a sqall line approached from the South. The wind shifted out of the South West and blew out our current line again. The fish shut down and we were off toward the east and the big water. Made a stop at an island and caught a trout on the first cast. Things were looking up! Then the cajun anchor released from the mud due to the building seas. I was trying to reposition the boat when it started drizzling and I turned toward the South and just new that we were fixing to get it good. Rain jackets on, backs to the rain, the boat got a good 10 minute washing. It was refreshing at first, but soon after the pounding starts to drain your body of energy. The weather passed and blue skies popped out, but the water around the island was trashed due to the crashing seas. Made a run to an interior deep bayou and got on another good trout bite. These fish wanted live shrimp 2' under corks. We kept on these fish until the weather started to look ominous again to the North. The weather moved just far enough East to give us a window to get home dry. My guests decided to give it a shot and call it a day. We had to take a circuitous route home to avoid the weather, but made it in dry with a good box of fish. No limits for the boat today. The fish were there, we just could not get a break. That is fishing! The weather should improve for the rest of the week and into the weekend. The fish are ready so get out and catch some!

Delacroix Report:

The fishing has been very consistent this weekend out of Delacroix. The trout have been feeding and filling the ice chest. The action has slowed in the early AM the last few days, but came on strong as the morning progressed. The trout have been small, 12-18" but they are solid fish and good eaters. We have also been picking up a handful of redfish, black drum and flounder at the same spots. All fish have wanted artificial cocahoes on 3/8 ounce jigheads. We have had live shrimp under corks and carolina rigged, but it has been producing undersized trout. The artificial slow rolled and bumped off the bottom has been the ticket to limits of trout. The tidal range looks good this week and we will be back after them. Good luck this week!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

Non stop action on trout this AM. The fish were piled up on a flat and my guests got into them in the 13-17" class. The fish wanted live shrimp carolina rigged and hooked through the tail. The artificial cocahoe in the smoke color put a whooping on the live. When we were on them, all of my guests had switched over to the artificial even though we had plenty of live bait left. Strange tide this morning, none early, then a slight rise which soon slacked. The trout just moved from the flat to the deeper water. Finished up the trout and hit a few red holes and picked up some redfish, black drum and flounder at each spot to round out the ice chest. We hit points and windward coves on the edge of the bay. These fish wanted live/dead shrimp 2' under corks and again the artificial stole the show. Nice weather today, hot but plenty of cloud cover and a little wind to keep it cooler. Sunday is the tide turn around with minimal range, but it will pick up during the week. Good luck out there!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

The wind has finally given us a break the last couple of days. It has been slick calm in the early AM with the winds picking up mid morning. This is giving us a window to get where we need to be quick and get the fish in the ice box before it gets hot. Limits on trout both Thursday and today. The fish want live shrimp carolina rigged and artificial cocahoes slow rolled. The trout are in the 13-17" class and aggressive. After finishing trout we have had some time to chase redfish. The reds and black drum have been 18-28" and want live or dead shrimp 2' under corks. We have also picked up several flounder each day mixed in with the reds and drum. Great boxes of fish and in early to beat the heat, you can't beat that! The fishing is awesome right now. Get out and catch some!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

The brisk West wind continued today. The flags were popping so we hit the inside holes again. Armed with live shrimp and plastics we hit the first spot and caught limits of trout in the 12-18" class. The live shrimp started off strong carolina rigged, but in the end the artificial cocahoes prevailed. Steady action all morning kept us pinned to the spot. After the trout were on ice, we hit the hot redfish cove from yesterday and only managed black drum and rat reds. The tide was not moving right in the area although the water looked good. Each day is a new day and fish have tails so they can move around! With the chest filled with trout, we hit the slip to beat the heat. The weather this week looks hot with not much chance of rain. Hope fully this west wind will lay down in the mornings. Good luck out there this week.

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

A bit breezy this AM out of the West. I noted the flags strectched out on the way down and opted to stay inside. Hit the bait store before opening and baited up with live shrimp instead of croakers. My guests and I glided to a deep pass and worked the adjacent flat. The first carolina rigged shrimp hit the water further out than we could see and the rod quickly bent toward the darkness. Speckled trout in the box! The fish were 12-15" and the action continued nonstop till we ran through 200 shrimp. A quick switch to artificial and the bite slowed, while my guests figured out the right twitch. The fish wanted a slow, but steady retrieve with artificial cocahoes on 3/8 ounce jigheads. The best colors today were smoke and purple with a chartreuse tail. We were about finished with limits and I get a call on the cell about the water turning red with redfish out on the edge of the bay. Discussed with the guests and their eyes lit up so we decided to take the short run to the edge to get into some redfish action. Well, it was true! There were hundreds of redfish crushing everything in sight. An offering of the few dead shrimp left was rewarded with big red bruisers up to 30". These fish wanted the bait 1-2' under corks. The wind died down soon after arrival and it got hot real quick. We decided to call it a day early and hit the dock at 11 AM with a 128 quart ice chest full of fish. A great day on the water! Good tidal ranges for the rest of the weekend. Get out and catch some fish!

Delacroix report:

What a great weekend for fishing! Light winds and warm, but the low humidity made it pleasant. Saturday was a trout day for my guests so we headed into the sound. Armed with an array of artificails and live shrimp and croakers. We well and reef hopped picking up a few big trout at each spot, but could not get them going. These fish wanted the artificial cocachoes and the live shrimp carolina rigged. The tide slowed and we decided to head to the edges for redfish. Headed West, we approached another submerged reef and we had to give the trout one more chance! These trout were smaller, but they would not let us leave. These fish wanted the same baits and were very aggressive. Last spot saves the day! Sunday, my guests wanted redfish. Ran long to the South and worked broken marshes and windward coves and were rewarded with bronze brutes up to 28". These fish wanted live shrimp 2' under corks and artificial cocahoes with a moderate retrieve. We also picked up a mess of trout and several flounders. The wind had picked up out of the SE and the water color started to dirty up. My guests had to catch an early flight so we headed in early. A great weekend of fishing action out of Delacroix. This week has outstanding tidal ranges and the current forecast looks good. Good luck out there this week!

PS. What was up with the 4 door truck in Bayou Terre Aux Bouefs at the end of Serignes ramp?

Delacroix Report:

Rain and wind and more rain and wind was the word for the day. Really tough fishing conditions out of Delacroix. I tried to talk my guests out of going this AM several times while we were sitting in the boat under the boat slip waiting out a down pour. They were itching to go, so we donned rain jackets and headed South East. My first spot was taken, so we ventured a little further out and glided onto a small flat off a deep river. It is usually very shallow and sometimes not navigable, but not today. The water is 2-3 feet above normal as a result of the strong NE winds the last few days. The water was surprisingly clear as the tide rolled up on the flat from the river. We set up above the current line and cast downwind into the current. The trout were hungry and awaiting our offerings of artificial cocahoes in smoke colors on 3/8 ounce jigheads and live shrimp and craokers 3 feet under corks. These were solid fish 14-20" with no throwbacks. The artificial put a whipping on the live bait again today. These fish wanted a steady retrieve just over the oyster shells. Things were going good until the live bait dredged up the hardhead catfish and the trout bite died. Did I mention rain? We hit another flat adjacent to a deep cut and set up upstream to work the current again. The wind made it difficult to cast into the deep and pull up on the flat so we cast down current onto the flat. With rod tips up, we rolled the baits along the flat ticking the oyster shells. It is difficult to catch fish pulling the bait up from their tails, but we were able to get another good bite going. Did I mention that it rained? The water was stained and getting dirier by the minute and it eventually killed the bite. We hit a small pond adjacent to a deep canal and set up several spots before we found the right presentation and got into another trout bite, but the tide was sweeping through the pond so hard, it was difficult to fish. We called it a day early after being rained on repeatedly. That really saps your energy. The weekend looks like a wash unless you need a good bath so my guests wisely rescheduled. Good luck out there!

Captain Jeff J. Dauzat

Delacroix Report:

Tough fishing conditions today in Delacroix. Strong NE winds at 25-30 K and light rain to start the day. The rain stopped pretty quickly, but the wind never did. Not a day to be in unprotected waters. My guests and I hit some protected flats adjacent to deep water and caught limits of trout 14-18". Most fish fell for artificial cocahoes in smoke, but as the strong rising tide diminished, live shrimp and croaker carolina rigged came on strong. We started fishing casting upstream and letting the baits tumble toward the fish, but ended up catching most fish cross current. We hit a redfish hole on the way back to the slip and were lucky to hook into 2 reds 20-24". The water was so high in the marsh, that the reds are way up in the grass and we could not get in to get them. Friday may be OK, but the rest of the weekend looks grim for weather conditions - 70+% chance of rain and gusty winds. You have to go to know and like an old timer told me once, "the fish do not care if it rains because they are already wet"! Good luck out there!

Delacroix Report:

Wow, was it crowded today in Delacroix! The beautiful weather and the excellent fishing had everyone and his uncle on the water with a yard pass. With the line of boats at the marina I figured it would be a zoo outside, so we opted to stay inside and work on the trout bite that I have been on for the last few trips. The first spot along a deep canal with an adjacent flat showed a school of mullet busting up on the flat. One of my guests had a top water she dog already tied on and cast up on the flat. The bait exploded after a few twitches and a quality 2 lb trout hit the deck. Nice! The next few casts yielded similar results, but the top water action soon slowed. My other guests were busy working on smaller trout with artificial cocahoes. One guest hooked into a redfish and boated the fish. We noted that the red had 16 spots. My guests were fishing in the St. Mattews Rodeo and they have a category for reds with the most spots so into the box with the 17" red. The action slowed as the tide slowed so we ventured further out to catch the incoming tide. We hit a deep pass with an adjacent flat. The action was slow at first, but became steady as the tide increased. These trout were 13-18". We also picked up a few black drum and one nice flounder. We were getting bounced around from all of the boat traffic, but the fish did not seem to mind. There were boats everywhere, running here and there and following each other around. I don't know if they were looking for fish or fishermen catching fish. We still needed a few more trout so we opted for a more protected spot. We hit a cove with an adjacent deep canal. The trout were there and aggressive. The fish wanted the artificial lures cast into the deep of the canal and bumped back into the cove. We also caught a few fish on live croakers 2' under corks. We picked up another nice flounder just before heading back to the slip. My guests ended up taking first and second place on flounder and first place on the most spotted redfish. I do not know what the prizes were, but everyone had a good time. The fishing remains great both inside and outside. Now is the time to get down and get in on some of this outstanding action.

Delacroix Report:

Light winds this morning for a change. We got a late start due to some electrical complications with the live well aerator. Had to run new wiring and got it purring like a kitten. With a live well full of croakers, we headed out. By the time we got a quarter of the way to Black Bay the winds had picked up out of the SE. Made a quick detour to some deep winter time holes and found the trout ready to feed. The live bait did OK under corks up on flats adjacent to the holes, but the artificial lures were champ of the day again. The bite was odd and the fish were not aggresive at all. The line would just feel different or heavy and with quick reeling, a trout would be hooked. The trout wanted artificial cocahoes on 3/8 ounce jugheads. The hot colors were alvacao and smoke. We had alot of throwbacks today on the trout, but the fish that filled the box were no doubters 14-18". We also got into a few redfish, black drum and one flounder to round out the box. A beautiful day on the water and constant action! I know the big girls are on the outside, but it is hard to pass up the solid inside action on windy days. Good luck out there this weekend!

Delacroix Report:

Another windy day in Delacrox. I had planed to venture outside and check on some islands, reefs and rigs, but my guests and I decided to stay protected and work on the inside bite. A strong rising tide and brisk SE winds had the water moving well all day. We set up on choke points and casted cross current. The resulting trout were 12-20" with a few throwbacks. The fish were not on the bottom, but suspended along the shelf and onto the flats. We worked artificial lures, live croakers and a few live shrimp and pogies we cast netted up. The trout wanted the artificial cocahoes on a 1/4 ounce jighead in smoke and alvacado colors. The first few spots were productive, but we were not setting the world on fire. The last spot proved to be the charm with double and triple hookups frequent. A great trip and a short run from ther dock! Good luck out there this week!
