Hot fall Redfish Action!!!

This past week was an interesting one…..as far as fishing. Weather played a HUGE factor on fishing as we had a very strong front that came through last week and along with it, came extreme winds. Winds were sustained at over 20 knots with gusts to 30, which obviously led to not even close to perfect conditions. Wed thru Fri was as tough as it gets. Still managed to find Reds, although we certainly had to try several spots till we found the right “spot”.

Friday afternoon Michael my oldest son, in from college, located a concentration of Reds that afforded two boats of non stop action. John Stone and Joey Peterson of Buffalo Rock Pepsi had a group of their clients at the Redfish Lodge and they wore them out Friday afternoon. Fish from 7-25 pounds were caught.

Sat with a total of 5 boats fishing and the first day with at least semi good weather, each boat hit different areas but all came back with fish. John, Joey and David fished with me and the first spot we pulled up to, it was on. We could see plenty of Reds with their backs and tails out of the water…..pretty cool site!!! First cast produced a triple strike…….two fish landed, one fish lost…..The action continued for at least three to four hours with many fish caught…….some lost…..several GIANTS were released with at least three to four over forty pounds released and many in the 20-35 pound range released. Along with the giants several upper end slots were kept for the grill.

Now an interesting occurrence, last 10 minutes of the day were spent casting into a large school of Reds that had their backs and tails out of the water, but after a barrage of baits were thrown at them, we left with our ego’s deflated as they refused everything we threw at them. Really strange……Any way it was pretty cool.

Last couple of days provided again, very good catches of Reds, with many GIANTS. Along with the Reds yesterday was also a very good day for Trout, as a limit was put on the boat along with the Reds.

Will be at it thru Sat so I will let you know what happens for the rest of the week

If you are looking to book an exciting trip for this fall or winter, as our winters really are quite nice……Give us a call and come enjoy some great hospitality, food, fun and fishing that Louisiana has to offer at the Redfish Lodge of Louisiana
