Shore Thing Fishing Report

Shore Thing Fishing Report, 11/15/2023

Fishing is great right now, but time will tell how this week's rain will change the fishing outlook.

It will be interesting to see what this much-needed rain does to the fishing. The past week was one of the better bites we have seen in months. The Louisiana marsh was holding pretty green water. The marsh was also holding pretty trout and reds, too. Some of our boats were able to stay with schools of specks and reds all morning long. We even had big sheepshead and bull reds join the party!

The majority of the fish were caught on live shrimp. The soft plastics under Boat Monkey popping corks worked, but it seemed the cleaner the water, the better the live shrimp worked.
 
The boats fishing in the Bay and on the near shore reefs are doing well. It’s a mix of puppy drum, flounder, sheepshead, trout and redfish. We even saw more pompano than we have seen all year!

A few of the nearshore reefs were also holding big numbers of white trout. We never got on a big run of those tasty little critters this summer, so maybe they are just late to the party.

We have seen some very nice flounder on our Mississippi nearshore trips. They should be lingering around until the next good cold front or two passes through. Please remember that flounder season is closed in Louisiana waters until December 1.

A final note: Louisiana’s new trout regulations will go into effect on November 20.


  • Size limit: 13-20 inches total length; only two fish included within the daily creel limit can be greater than 20 inches total length.
  • Daily creel: 15 fish daily limit per angler.
  • Charter boat guides and crew will not be able to retain a creel limit while on a charter trip but may engage in fishing.
