I will be heading down there Saturday night, and I was wondering what the water looks like and if there has been much rain down there. I am looking at fishing Boudreaux Lake and areas around there. Anyone willing to share any tips or pointers, they would be greatly appreciated.

Made a night fishing trip with my buddy on the south end of Big lake. We got a bunch of lights, 12 volt batteries, caught some bait and made it out to the spot right about dusk. Let me go back a step. We were cast netting for big mullet at the pogey plant when one of the captains hollered at…

Why is the fishing in Vermilion Bay so bad compared to the rest of the state? Yes, there is the wax Lake Outlet, but the Atchafalaya outlet is something like 39 miles from where I fish. The Mississippi River Delta area supposedly has great fishing, so why would the Atchafalaya River be any…

Question! Can anyone tell me about the platform located just to the west of Whiskey pass? Has anyone ever fished it? How deep is the water? Does it have lights on it for night fishing?

My favorite rig is not going to be as productive this year I don't think and I am looking to find backup…

Sportsman needs to eliminate the bots on this site. The bots keep responding to old reports and bringing them up to the top. Hard to navigate, or get reports when looking at reports from 10 years ago.

They are also clogging up the classifieds with drug ads.
Ha, good luck with that. The admin isn't interested in doing their job

I have been having a blast catching large black drum during their annual run lately. I noticed on the larger drum that it seems like their guts are coming out of them, is this normal? There is a lot of red tissue protruding from the anus. The limit only allows for one fish over 27 inches, so…

Day 1 with Ben and Ed found us covering lots of water. Stick and move kind of day as we found no big concentration of fish in one area. Shrimp Creole and ultraviolet Matrix Shad under Four Horsemen Tackle corks accounted for all fish. Thanks again Ben for the continued business.…
