あらすじ・解説
As of October 24, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly in South Louisiana, is heating up despite the cooler days. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, making it ideal for a day out. Sunrise is around 7:15 AM, and sunset is expected at about 6:30 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide in the late morning and a low tide in the late afternoon, which is perfect for targeting fish in the marshes and back bayous.
### Fish Activity
The fish are highly active, especially during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Bull reds and jacks are schooling in large numbers, making for exciting catches. Speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and flounder are also plentiful in the tidal marshes and backwater rivers.
### Catches
Yesterday saw a strong catch of bull reds, particularly around the jetties and in the marshes. Anglers reported catching numerous redfish, some in the slot size and others oversized, using live shrimp, Spanish sardines, and cut mullet. Speckled trout were also abundant, especially on the outside of the jetties with live shrimp and croaker. Black drum were caught on shell reefs using shrimp under a popping cork.
### Best Lures and Bait
For redfish, using live shrimp, cut mullet, or menhaden has been highly effective. Silver spoons are also producing good results at the jetties. For speckled trout, live shrimp, croaker, and piggy perch are the go-to baits. Black drum are biting well on live or dead shrimp and fish bites.
### Hot Spots
- **Yscloskey and the Louisiana Marsh**: These areas are teeming with life, including redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. The marshes provide ideal conditions for sight fishing, especially in shallow waters.
- **Buras and the Barrier Islands**: Captain Troy’s expertise in these waters ensures you’ll find the best spots for catching redfish, tripletail, and other game fish. The barrier islands are full of baitfish, attracting larger predators like bull reds and sharks.
### Tips
- Early morning hours are crucial for the best bites, so plan to leave the dock between 6 AM and 8 AM.
- Use stealth when sight fishing in shallow waters to avoid spooking the fish.
- Be prepared for larger fish by beefing up your tackle, as some of these catches can be quite substantial.
With the right gear, bait, and knowledge of the local waters, you’re set for an epic day of fishing in South Louisiana. Enjoy the beautiful scenery and the thrill of reeling in some of the Gulf’s finest game fish.
