The fish are out there for the anglers who ignore the calendar and take advantage of the frequent fair weather days.

The Plauche crew from New Orleans with a triple on nice sheepshead they caught out of Pass Christian.
Stephanie, Lindsay, and Maegan from Lafayette with a huge black drum they caught and released near Bayou Caddy.
We have been fishing the reefs, bridges, and any structure for sheepshead. The big ones have moved in, and it looks like they should be here for the next several weeks. Luckily, the bait shops still have live shrimp, and that has been the best thing going. We are burning through a lot of tackle fishing heavy structure, but that is part of the game. Just remember to bring plenty of hooks and weights. A good pair of pliers doesn't hurt either. 
Abe Kinney from Baton Rouge and Pass Christian with a huge bull redfish he tagged and released in the Louisiana marsh.
On pretty days, we head into the marsh to chase redfish. The deeper holes have been holding fish consistently. The real fun has been chasing fish on shallow flats and sight casting to them using live bait, tight-lined soft plastics, or spinner baits. 
Peter Ritten from Atlanta, Georgia, and Diamondhead with a redfish he "fought and beat” in the Louisiana marsh.
This is an amazing time of year to be on the water. When you get a nice weather day, it’s just magical. There is little to no boat traffic, the bugs leave you alone, and the scenery is spectacular. Please be safe, have fun and have a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy this feature?
