Marsh Fishing 101

Inshore fishing in Louisiana is all about versatility. You might start the day tossing soft plastics for trout, switch to live bait for flounder, then finish up sight-casting to redfish with gold spoons. Captain Ryan will have all the gear you need, from light spinning tackle to heavier baitcasting setups for those bull reds. Don't worry if you're new to this style of fishing – the Captain's got plenty of tips and tricks up his sleeve to get you on fish. And for you seasoned anglers, get ready to fine-tune your skills in one of the most productive inshore fisheries in the country.

Target Species Breakdown

Redfish: The crown jewel of Louisiana inshore fishing, redfish (also known as red drum) are hard-fighting, copper-colored beauties that can grow to over 40 pounds in these waters. They're known for their distinctive spot near the tail and their willingness to crush topwater lures in shallow water. Fall is prime time for reds, but you can catch them year-round in the marsh.

Speckled Trout: These spotted speedsters are a staple of Gulf Coast fishing. Specks, as the locals call them, are known for their aggressive strikes and delicious flavor. They typically range from 1-3 pounds, but gator trout pushing 5+ pounds aren't uncommon. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer can produce some epic topwater action at dawn and dusk.

Flounder: The ultimate ambush predator, flounder lie in wait on the bottom, ready to pounce on unsuspecting baitfish. While they might not put up the strongest fight, their unique flat shape and excellent table fare make them a prized catch. Look for them around drop-offs and sandy bottoms, especially during their fall migration to the Gulf.

Black Drum: Often overlooked by visiting anglers, black drum can provide some serious pull on light tackle. These cousins of the redfish can grow to massive sizes, with fish over 30 pounds not uncommon in the marsh. They love crustaceans, so crab-scented soft plastics or cut bait are your best bet. Target them year-round, but winter can be especially productive.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Louisiana's marshes that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Maybe it's the sight of tailing redfish in gin-clear water, or the explosion of a speckled trout crushing a topwater at dawn. Perhaps it's the labyrinth of waterways that seem to go on forever, each turn revealing new fishing opportunities. Or it could be the chance to hook into a true bull red – a fish that'll make your drag scream and your arms burn. Whatever it is, this trip with Captain Ryan is your ticket to experiencing it all firsthand.
