Winds have made boating a little tricky, but if we can get to areas that are shielded from the wind, the action is hot! - by Sonny Schindler, Shore Thing Fishing Charters  Claire, Margot, and Adalynn spent one of their spring break days in Bay St. Louis enjoying some great redfish action.
 These spring breakers from Wisconsin had a great day on redfish near Bay St. Louis. I’m happy to report the nearshore fishing has been extremely productive and fun, as long as you can get out of the wind and the waves. We are enjoying great bites on redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and one of the better runs we have had on puppy drum in years. I can’t stress enough how fun these juvenile black drum are to catch, and how delicious they are to eat. The big ones, those in the 30- to 40-pound range, are a blast to fight on light tackle.  Alicia from Indiana caught several of these puppy drum near the Wolf River. Live bait has been a challenge to get, but live shrimp certainly makes a difference when we can find it, especially on the speckled trout. However, fresh dead shrimp should get you all the action you need on the redfish and puppy drum.  Speckled trout have begun moving in, and it should only get better in the coming days and weeks. The high tides in the morning have most certainly made a difference in a good way. We can fish in more areas and that is huge, considering the winds already limit where we can run to find protected water. Enjoy this feature? Comments are closed.
