Fishing Report
This week on our fishing charters in New Orleans, we shifted focus to targeting speckled trout in the southern reefs and island systems—an exciting change from our usual inshore patterns.
On our first trip, we made a long run south toward the reefs with one goal: find a strong bite of speckled trout. Along the way, we picked up a mix of bull reds and white trout, but the real action started when we located an active school of feeding speckled trout. The crew landed several quality fish before we had to cut the trip short due to an approaching waterspout—always a reminder of how quickly conditions can change in Louisiana waters.
Our second trip followed a similar southern route, this time focusing on the islands. The action was steady throughout the day, with anglers hooking into bull redfish, big black drum, and aggressive jacks. Once again, we dialed in on a productive school of speckled trout, allowing the crew to fill the cooler while practicing selective harvest and releasing the rest.
If you’re looking for productive days like these, our fishing charters in New Orleans consistently put anglers on the right fish, in the right conditions, at the right time.
Safety Note
When booking fishing charters in New Orleans, always prioritize safety. Weather in coastal Louisiana can shift quickly—especially with waterspouts in the forecast—so staying alert and trusting your captain’s judgment is critical for a safe and successful trip.
