Louisiana inshore

Post by wishin2bfishin »

Thinking about doing a LA inshore trip. Have any of you been? Is it worth the trip? Limits are phenomenal compared to ours.

I have been at least once the last few years. We go out of Delacroix in September and do a cast and blast during early teal season. Actually leaving next Wednesday for 3 days.

It is awesome redfishing over there and the later in the year you go the better the trout fishing is. I highly recommend it.

Doing a new trip in October and going out to the Chandeleur Islands for 3 days that I am very much looking forward to.

Have fished and written about all three of these operations. Excellent guides and great fishing.

Absolutely awesome fishing. Have posted reports from both our blast and cast in January and our yearly family trip in May. we fish with Captain Patrick Dickinson of Dixie Riverside Charters and hunt with Jacque Blaize of Blaize Charters. Cannot say enough good things about either one of them. 14 weeks and counting until our blast and cast...

I wonder why they can sustain a 25 fish limit per person and we can't sustain 5. Just wondering out loud.

Have you ever been there ? You'll see a hundred boat trailers at ramp and then maybe see one boat in the marsh all day...from my experiences... it's a very large habitat/nursery

yes sir, we go to Delacroix every year in April. we've never used a guide and have always had a blast. limiting out over there isn't an issue. it's all marsh land with clean mud bottom so no worries on smashing your boat with a wrong turn. the locals are very helpful and won't mind telling you which lakes are best during that time either. it's one of the best time's you'll have. we go with a group of about 8-9 guys. renting a house there for 5-6 days normally cost us 120 a person. it's really not that expensive. easy drive west on I-10. I don't think you can take a trip anywhere else for the amount of money and have the time you're going to have there!

As to the question of limits, someone told me it was also due to the fact that there is so much area that is almost completely unaccessable (if that's even a word) other than to airboats.

I second Delecroix. Capt. Jack and the whole crew at sweetwater will point you in the right direction and also have guides and housing available. I've been using his ramp since the day he opened and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else.

not only is it 25 per person but they also only have to be 12 inches. never fished for trout over there on purpose. if I'm going to travel 6-7 hours I want something to stretch my line! and yes so much water that the average fisherman can't get into.

This is exactly where we stay. I would recommend this to anyone, it is especially nice relative to Venice since it is on the east side saving over an hour of drive time each way.
