   Fall Fishing Heats Up: Sac-à-Lait Secrets, Speckled Trout, and Redfish

   Welcome to this week’s Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, covering New Orleans, Venice, Hopedale/Delacroix, Grand Isle, Houma, and everywhere in between. Host Andre’ Savoie talks with Ray Miller, better known as Cajun Ray (https://www.facebook.com/ray.miller.581), about sac-a-lait (crappie) fishing on Louisiana’s Northshore rivers, including the Tchefuncte, Tickfaw, and Bayou Lacombe. Andre’ also catches up with Capt. Ben LaVergne of Bentup Fishing Charters (https://bentupfishing.com/) about improving speckled trout and redfish action around the Biloxi Marsh and Lake Borgne, the approaching cold fronts, and why November and December could offer some of the best fishing of the year. Cajun Ray explains how October’s changing water temperatures affect crappie fishing, with fish currently holding shallow around brush piles, fallen trees, and tributary mouths before moving into deeper water as winter approaches. He shares his approach to locating fish with electronics, using Spot-Lock to stay positioned over structure, and fishing Bobby Garland soft plastics that imitate small minnows. Ray also explains why slowing down presentations is important during the fall transition and how he targets crappie in 20 to 30 feet of water once colder weather settles in. Capt. Ben reports good numbers of speckled trout, redfish, and occasional flounder around the western Biloxi Marsh, with plenty of shrimp and baitfish keeping fish active. He expects the upcoming cold fronts to improve the bite and bring larger trout into shallower water as temperatures drop. Ben explains why late November and December are his favorite months for targeting bigger trout with jerkbaits and topwater lures, particularly on warmer afternoons when shallow flats begin heating up. He also discusses how the remaining tripletail season depends on water temperatures and why anglers willing to fish artificial lures through the winter can experience some outstanding action with fewer boats on the water.

   Trout Moving In, Redfish Feeding & Flounder Getting Big

   Welcome to this week’s Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, covering New Orleans, Venice, Hopedale/Delacroix, Grand Isle, Houma, and everywhere in between. Host Andre’ Savoie talks with Capt. Rory Rorison of United Charters (https://unitedcharters.com/) about the fall transition around Shell Beach, where shrimp are pouring out of the marsh and trout are beginning to move closer inside. Andre’ also catches up with Capt. Louis Rossignol of Venice Guide Service (https://veniceguideservice.com/) about redfish, big flounder, tripletail, and some unusual manta ray encounters around the Venice Delta. Rory explains that cooler mornings are getting fish into a stronger feeding pattern, with trout showing up around Breton Sound, Black Bay, the MRGO, and interior waters. Live shrimp remain productive, but artificial shrimp have also been catching fish, while bull reds and sheepshead add to the mixed bag. He expects the inside trout bite to improve even more once spawning winds down and stronger cold fronts arrive. In Venice, Capt. Louis says redfish are still being caught by finding clean, moving water near grass beds, while flounder have been especially impressive around river passes and current-swept areas. He also explains why September manta rays are worth watching closely, since big cobia can sometimes travel underneath them, and shares recent success with tripletail as fall fishing continues to develop across the Delta.

   35 Yellowfin, Giant Trout & Louisiana Fishing Lessons

   Welcome to this week’s Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, covering New Orleans, Venice, Hopedale/Delacroix, Grand Isle, Houma, and everywhere in between. Host Andre’ Savoie looks back at some of the best recent conversations from across Louisiana, including Capt. Josh Edwards of Calcutta Gold Fishing (https://calcuttagoldfishing.com/), Jerry Cottrell (https://www.facebook.com/jerry.cottrell.368763/) of JBF Kayak Charters (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553562901584), Capt. Danny Hunter of New Orleans Best Charters (https://neworleansbestcharters.com/), Capt. Shawn Mitchell of SaltyFrog Fishing Charters (https://saltyfrogcharter.com/), Capt. Aaron Benfield of AB Charters (https://www.bestcocodriefishing.com/), Capt. Joey Lemoine of Cast on the Other Side Charters (https://castontheothersidecharters.com/), Capt. Ryan Vincent of Reel Cajun Fishing (https://realcajunfishing.com/), and Capt. Frenchy (https://fishingbooker.com/charters/view/37182?booking_days=1&booking_persons=2). Highlights include Josh’s story of hooking more than 35 yellowfin in one day without landing one because of sharks, Jerry’s six-pound tournament trout getting attacked during the fight, and Danny explaining why keeper tripletail can turn into complete chaos around the boat. The episode also features some of the best fishing lessons from recent shows. Jerry talks about slowing down and working productive water longer, while Capt. Frenchy explains how bird behavior, muddy water around feeding catfish, clean-water edges, and even the sound of shrimp popping can help anglers locate trout and redfish. Other highlights include 20 bull reds in about an hour, strong cobia fishing around Grand Isle, big flounder, and a debate over whether white trout may be one of Louisiana’s best fish to fry. The show closes with Capt. Sean Mitchell sharing the personal story behind the Salty Frog name and the promise he made to his father to become a charter captain.
