FISHING FORECAST
HOPEDALE/SHELL BEACH
I
n my opinion June is the best month
of the summer. Typically by this time
both the speck and red patterns are in full
swing. You can target either species about
anywhere along LA’s coastline.
Primarily speaking, Breton Sound,
Black Bay, Bay Eloi will be among the areas
to target. Live shrimp under a cork around
the outer islands, shallow water rigs and
reefs will be the most productive.
The deeper water areas like the Wreck,
Black Tanks, the Dope Boat, Central Rig
Facility, Five Wells, the Compressor and BLK
32 will be holding numbers of larger trout,
typically caught on the bottom on Carolina
rigs with live shrimp or live croakers.
Be sure to adjust your weights
accordingly. The general rule of thumb is
to use the lightest weight possible to get to
the bottom.

GRAND ISLE
une promises to be awesome. The wind
has settled down from a blustery May
and the trout are plentiful. Platforms in
Barateria Bay and oyster reefs are full of
school trout, while beaches from Four
Bayous to East Timbalier will be full of
larger spawning size trout. They can be
taken on croakers, live shrimp and a
host of artificial lures. Top water action
in early morning light is the top draw for
many anglers.
Redfish will begin to gang up along
the beaches and bull reds are fairly
numerous in the passes.
Offshore action out of Grand Isle
should be good this year with a focus on
mangrove snappers.
Come on down to the coast this June,
fishing is great!

he GREAT fishing we enjoyed in May
will continue in June with a slight twist.
I find that early in May we can catch good
numbers of Specks with plastics, but by the
end of May live bait works best for Specks.
June Speck fishing is most successful with
live bait. Shrimp, Croakers, Pogies or
Mullet. So far this season has been a little
different than years past. In years pass Lake
Pontchartrain has produced good numbers
of above average size Specks for the first
few weeks of June then the gas wells in
Lake Borgne produces better. I think the
bridges in Lake Pontchartrain will produce
most of June BUT if the bite dies off in Lake
Pontchartrain make the move to some of
the gas wells in Lake Borgne to finish of
a great day of catching South Louisiana
Specks. The deep passes in the area will
also hold good numbers of trout during
the slower portion of the tide. Unknown
Pass bridge, L&N bridge, Millers & Blind
Rigolets are all close to the marinas and
offer protection from strong winds. The
passes, bridges and gas wells are best fished
with live bait on the bottom. Speckled
Trout are not the only type of fish you will

catch. There are Black Drum, Sheepshead,
Flounder, Croakers, Redfish and they are
all GREAT on the table. I use a drop shot
rig but the Carolina rig is very successful
as well. Don't forget Dudley's reefs in Lake
Pontchartrain these reef are best fished
with a slip cork rig & live bait. When my
clients want Redfish I point the Blue Wave
to the Biloxi Marsh. My clients and I have
been catching Redfish with the Golden Eye
Spinner. I really like this short arm spinner
and I know the REDFISH in the Biloxi
Marsh like it also. We have also caught
Redfish on Jerk Baits, Spoons and Shrimp
under corks. Look for areas of skinny water
to catch Redfish. I have been concentrating
on areas with clear water, S,A,V and bait
fish. June fishing is HOT and so is the
weather. Drink plenty of water. Hope
all your ANGLING ADVENTURES are
successful ! ! !

VENICE
OFFSHORE
une is one of my favorite months to fish.
The rip lines are filling up with dolphin
and weehoo and the tuna are jumping.
Last year the fish stayed close and it was
rare that I had to go further than 20 miles
to catch tuna but some years the floaters is
where it's all happening. We will just have
to wait and see what this year brings but so
far short runs have produced. If you want to
really have some fun on the rip grab some
live bait and a spinning rod and cruise the
rip for bulls. A big bull dolphin can't turn
down a little live bait of any kind. I don't
like to kill a bunch of chickens so when I
fish for dolphin I like to set two large hard
tails behind the boat and have someone on
the bow with a small live bait on a spinning
rod. There are few things as fun as seeing a
30lb bull eat your live bait and start giving a
gymnastics demonstration. Be sure to have
a second rod ready though because the big
boys are rarely alone. Very often the big
hard tails get eaten first and then I pitch the
spinning rod bait to the bulls that follow
the first fish in. Also, I use 100lb seaguar
flouro and a 9/0 Mustad 39950 circle for

VENICE TO BURAS
une Is Busting Out All Over” will
hold true in Venice this year. The
high River of May will be on a steady fall,
the birds will be diving and the trout will
be biting. Downriver, the trout will be in
their summer pattern. They will be holding
in the outer bays hungry for shrimp. I’ll
be throwing a plastic shrimp or a live one
under a cork. I’ll be making plenty of noise.
This noise attracts the trout until he finds
your bait. Then I’ll move east out into
Breton Sound. The rigs and outer islands
will be my hunting grounds. Around the
rigs I like to swim one of the new swim baits
in a green or glow color. Then I’ll Carolina
rig a live shrimp under and around the legs
of the rig. If I can get live baby crockers, I’m
in heaven. On the islands its cork time for

The cork offering that worked east will work
west. The only thing that will beat a pink
plastic shrimp is the real thing. I’ll start out
the morning on the beaches, fishing the
first trough in the breakers. If it’s too rough,
I’ll move inside over the oysters. Trout will
always be over the oysters. While fishing
the oysters keep an eye out for the birds.
When they start diving, move upwind of
them and drift silently into them. The trout
will be there and will hit almost anything.

State of Louisiana Makes Great
Strides for Recreational Anglers
May 24, 2013 – Yesterday, NOAA officials
announced a change to Louisiana’s federal
red snapper recreational fishing season,
which was originally set to run a mere
nine days, will now begin on June 1 and
remain open through June 24, with a bag
and possession limit of 2 fish per person at
a 16-inch minimum total length. NOAA administrators came to the
decision to extend Louisiana’s federal
red snapper season based in large part
on research conducted by Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
biologists that proved Louisiana was
landing less fish than previously accounted
for by NOAA.
“The decision by our federal
counterparts to extend the Louisiana
federal red snapper season was no doubt
based on a combination of good, sound
science provided by our biologists and
the pressure we have continued to put
on them,” said LDWF Secretary Robert
Barham. “These actions only strengthen
our case for regional management. We will
continue to show accountability and that
we have the best intentions for the resource
and our recreational anglers.”
JUNE 2013
“I am extremely proud of the team of
biologists I work with. Because of their
dedication to the resource and our local
fishermen, NOAA is now working with
us, instead of against us,” said LDWF
Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. “We
still have significant steps to take toward
our proposed state-by-state management
method.”
Next week LDWF Secretary Robert
Barham will officially modify Louisiana’s
red snapper season to mirror the federal
season. There will also be discussion of the
state snapper season at the next Louisiana
Wildlife and Fisheries Commission
meeting set for Thursday, June 6.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife
and Fisheries is charged with managing
and protecting Louisiana’s abundant
resources. For more information, visit us
