Today was one of those days any angler would die for. Calm seas, warm temps, clear skies, and a nonstop bite from beautiful speckled trout and large powerful bull redfish. Needless to say, we easily caught our 3 man Louisiana limits of specks (75), all nice 15 to 19-inch fish, 4 small redfish 18 to 24-inches, and all the drag stripping 15 to 20-pound bull redfish we could stand.

Yes, it was a perfect outing, and the Louisiana marsh was simply full of hungry fish, well, at least where we were fishing. Found the fish in shallow grass beds and they were feeding on the masses of silversides that were spawning during the full moon period.

Caught them on popping corks with 2-feet of 25-pound-test Seaguar fluorocarbon leader material, 1/8 to 1/4-ounce jig heads, finished off with Cocahoe Minnows (chartreuse with red tail) , Salt Water Assassins (salt and pepper with green curly tail). Later in the day went to a Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow, and it was nailing some really big trout and reds too.

The next couple of days should deliver great fishing in this “honey hole”, and hope to entertain a few more lucky anglers this week in this beautiful Cajun marsh realm. I am fully licensed to fish in Louisiana waters, and my new 2170 Blazer Bay bay boat is one fast and laid out fishing machine. It’s merely a 11-mile run across the Mississippi Sound to the Louisiana marsh, a fast trip in the Blazer Bay. So come join me for some fun, sun, and fishing adventures aboard TEAM BRODIE CHARTERS. And for the laid back family outings, quick runs to the oyster and limestone reefs out of Biloxi, MS provide great angling for children. Hey, we’ve got it all in south Mississippi!

Remember…life is short…let’s fish!

At last the winds subsided allowing us to get to the oyster and limestone reefs in the Mississippi Sound. And the fish were waiting these in large numbers with big appetites.  Had a trip on both days this weekend and broke in the new 2170 Blazer Bay in style.

On Saturday, a late afternoon trip with my clients Greg Pittman and his son Marcus produced a fine catch of sand sea trout a.k.a. “white trout” and southern kingfish a.k.a. “ground mullet”.  In an hour spurt, this duo boxed nearly 90 of these tasty fish, and had a blast doing so.

On Sunday, my clients John Adametz and his son Spencer got in on the fish catching action too. What fun…steady fish catching action on light tackle! These guys boxed exactly 100 of these fine eating fish, and we cleaned them at my home in less than an hour.  Also, these anglers caught the first sharks of the season in the Mississippi Sound, a small bonnethead and a couple of small blacktips.

Yes, it was a great way to break in the new 2170 Blazer Bay, and all the clients seemed to really love the boat. Fast, stable, with great fishability! By the way, I NOW HAVE MY LOUISIANA GUIDE PERMIT, and will be running trips out of Pass Christian Small Craft Harbor in the 2170 Blazer Bay.

An inside report said that yesterday the bull redfish and speckled trout were on fire down there, so I be running those at anglers request. An all day LA marsh trip goes for $550, and makes for a great adventure.  What can I say, the weather is finally cooperating and the fish are biting.

So let’s go fishing!

As of late, fishing in south Mississippi has been great. Although the heavy winds and rain has slowed down things a bit, those of us that fish hard continue to bring in some nice fish.

In the Mississippi Sound, a continuous influx of southern kingfish a.k.a. “ground mullet” and sand sea trout a.k.a. “white trout” have been providing great light tackle fun. Although these fish aren’t large in size they provide excellent table fare. Some of the finest frying fish on the planet!

Made a trip to the Louisiana marsh yesterday, and landed 12 nice speckled trout, 5 bull reds, and a 10-pound black drum. A decent catch considering it was rough and the water was extremely turbid due to the easterly winds. By the way, the new Blazer Bay “Team Brodie Charters” rides beautifully, and handles the chop with ease. Within 25-minutes or so can be deep into the Louisiana marsh.

Soon I’ll be doing guided trips to the Louisiana marsh, so please contact me if you have an interest in such an adventure

Tripletail and cobia will be showing soon too!

Bottom line, it’s time to fish and enjoy the beauty of south Mississippi!

Remember…life is short…let’s fish!
