Shore Thing Fishing Report, 11/13/2024

November 13, 2024

If you can get out between the rain storms, the fishing is really good right now, with white trout leading the charge into the cooler season.

A very nice bull red for this lucky guy, caught with Capt. Bryan Raymond south of Bayou Caddy.

The high winds and rain have definitely limited how much we have been out the last few days. It is typical weather for this time of year. For now, the fish can get some much-needed rest after the last several months of torment from the many anglers here on the Gulf Coast.

A tasty pompano for Mr. David Allen from Ocean Springs, fishing in the Louisiana Marsh south of Waveland.

 
Prior to the increased winds and rain, the fishing was very good. Everything was pretty much keeping with the fall pattern, meaning the redfish appear to be ganging up inside the marsh. The speckled trout are beginning to push deeper into the marsh as well.
 

Mr. Gene Taylor and his grandson, Lars Fanberg from Bay St. Louis, with a double on redfish fishing south of Pass Christian.

 
The biggest surprise of the last few weeks has been the gargantuan white trout. These tasty critters are not just in one spot, either. We have seen these brutes in the Bay, around the Barrier Islands, and all throughout the Louisiana marsh. The biggest one we have seen yet was 17 inches, caught over an oyster reef in four feet of water. Several of our boats have caught many big white trout between 14 and 16 inches long!
 

Huge white trout have moved in for the fall!

 
For now, we will just get out during breaks in the bad weather, but we know it will be worth the wait!
