Shore Thing Fishing Report

Shore Thing Fishing Report, 3/27/2024

3/27/2024

 
March 27, 2024
As the seasons change, so do fishing conditions. It may take a little searching, but finding clean, salty water generally leads to a good catch.

Georgia, Ava, and Vallaria, all the way from Kansas on Spring Break, with a nice redfish caught near Bay St. Louis.
Between the Biblical weather, we have had boats out almost daily with spring breakers enjoying the wonderful Mississippi Gulf Coast. These big downpours are not doing us any favors with the salinity, but we are still catching fish in every direction. The boats fishing in close are working the reefs and the shorelines in Bay St. Louis and Bayou Caddy.

The clean and dirty water has been changing daily, so you have to be ready to move at a moment’s notice to find the best water. What we really need is a couple of days of heavy southeast winds to combat the rain coming out of the rivers.

A great catch of redfish and trout for these happy spring breakers, fishing with Capt. Bryan Raymond out of Bayou Caddy.
​ 
Our boats that are running farther to the south are finding the big sheepsheads that are on their way back offshore. If you find the structure they are on, it is really something to see. They will practically hit bare hooks when they are ganged up like that.
 
The speckled trout seem to be moving around with the good water. You will catch them on one point or one reef one day, and 24 hours later you come back and dirty water is there with no trout. Nothing to be alarmed about; it’s very typical of March fishing. Just keep moving until you find cleaner water.

The most consistent fishing has been on the sheepshead, black drum, and redfish. We are seeing a decent number of flounder as well, but the majority of them are on the smaller side. We are still relying heavily on the Boat Monkey, popping corks, two feet of leader, and a 1/0 hook with a live shrimp for the shallow water stuff. When fishing the nearshore reefs or deeper water, we are using Carolina rigs and dropper loops with 1/0 hooks rigged with live or dead shrimp. Just be ready for a fight. Everywhere we are fishing, it is not unusual to see bull reds or gigantic black drum.
