Fishing Report 11/16/16

Pointe Aux Chenes Area:

This photo was taken after one of Ronnies recent charters.

“The current has been really strong lately. There has been a shorter trout bite in the morning that is usually over around 8:30 am and then picks up again in the late afternoon,” states Eddie Mullen of PAC Kayak Rentals (225-573-4085). 

Anglers are using a color by Matrix Shad called lemonhead. They are also using a Fin Collectors color called motor oil. 

According to Ronnie of Shoreline Charters (985-688-2772) the bull reds are still biting well on cracked crabs. He also told me to fishing the changing tides. 

Smaller reds are being caught in the grass using Aqua Dream spoons. The water is clear right now so it is easy to spot the red that you want to catch. 

I am going to expand the report from now on. I would like to begin talking about the Cypremort Point area as well. 

Cypremort Point Area:

According to charter boat Captain Steve Smith (337) 654-3880 the water is beginning to salt up in the bay and the trout bite is really turning on. “Trout up to 18 inches have been caught recently, with large catches of them between 13 and 18 inches," states Smith.

Hot spots include the hammet, the cove, Arcemont reef, shark cove and the trash pile. 

The water is relatively clear, therefore preferred colors include anything with a sparkle in it such as Salt Water Assassin's chicken on a chain. Go with contrast colors in the stained water such as lemonheads.

“It took long time for the bay to salt up this year, but it is salting up nicely and the fish are really moving in now,” states Smith.
