MONDAY MORNING UPDATE

FROM THE SPECKLED TROUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

 

 

 

20 KNOT WIND CONTINUES TO BE OUR BIGEST PROBLEM CATCHING FISH

A full week of south/southeast wind continues to keep our cleaning tables looking pretty bare. Most all of the catches this past week has been marginal at best. The wind really effects almost everything when it comes to shallow water saltwater fishing. Muddy water, high tides and almost all other conditions will slow catching. There were a few good catches of trout and redfish brought back to the dock anyway. Captains Zach Mitchell and Brett Stansel reports lots of small (under 12 inches) trout are  plentiful under working birds in west cove. There have been some good redfish catches back behind the weirs for anglers trying to get out of the wind. Most all conditions require live bait under a popping cork but soft plastics will work also. There are a lot of fish in the estuary right now so all we need is some clear water and NO WIND. Call toll free at 888.762.3391 and check availability

EARLY TEAL SEASON IS SEPTEMBER 14TH TO SEPTEMBER 29TH 

Our new duck hunting marsh proved to be the very best in Southwest Louisiana last year and it’s looking even better this year. Early teal season should be fantastic so book you trip now. September is one of the best fishing months here on Lake Calcasieu so take time to book our famous BLAST & CAST and have twice the fun. What could be better than blasting away at fast flying teal in the morning and casting away at big lake trout and redfish in the afternoon.

Cover and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is opaque. Remove with slotted spatula to serving plate; cover and keep warm. increase heat; boil pan juices until liquid is reduced to about 3 tbsp. Remove from heat; swirl in butter, one piece at a time, until just melted. Pour sauce over fish. Garnish with lime wedges and remaining cilantro.
