Saltwater Spinning
Tips for Louisiana Saltwater Fishing
If you are in Louisiana and searching for the best saltwater fishing spot you will be happy to know you have several places to choose from. It is always a good idea to plan your fishing trips in advance so you can be sure everything runs smoothly. This way you can make sure you have a hotel near the lake you want to fish along with restaurants of your choice. Three of the best lakes in Louisiana to go saltwater fishing are Lake Lafitte, Lake Charles and Lake Calcasieu.
One great way to enjoy Louisiana saltwater fishing is by booking a charter service to carry you out to the best fishing spots on the lakes. Of course, you always have the option of going out on Your Own but if you are unfamiliar with the area you may have better luck with a guide that leads you to all the hotspots.
Two of the main fish species anglers go after when saltwater fishing in Louisiana is the redfish and the speckled trout. These species are now a lot more plentiful than they use to be. They have had time to grow and multiply since the gill nets were banned and the limit laws where put into effect several years back. This also means that you will have the opportunity to catch some really big fish that you can be proud of.
Where to Find Redfish and How to Catch Them
The redfish is one of the most popular fish that anglers search for when Louisiana saltwater fishing. If you are interested in fishing from the banks you will find that the Cameron Beaches provide some of the best spots around. These beaches stretch for approximately sixty miles and you will have a chance to catch some enormous redfish anywhere up and down this area.
You can also find redfish in the marshes of Barataria, Lafourche and Terrebonne estuaries or similar areas because they love this type of habitat as well. You will find that the redfish like to eat shrimp, liver, finger mullets, mullet chunks, squid and live croakers just to name a few. Basically, if it leaves a scent in the water they will chase it.
The best techniques for catching redfish are to use a light to Medium Spinning or casting tackle and fish in areas where they tend to gather such as junctions where Bait Fish can be found. You can also have good luck when fishing deep holes and bends, waterways and at the openings at bayous. Most anglers use fifteen to twenty pound test line and a standard bottom fishing rig with a swivel, leader, hook and sinker attached. However, keep in mind that redfish can be very moody and will only bite when they feel like it no matter what you do.
Where to Find Speckled Trout and Techniques for Catching Them
If the famous speckled trout is what you seek, then you have several choices depending on whether or not you are searching for trophy fish or fishing for fun. Some of the largest speckled trout are found in the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, Sabine and the Calcasieu Lake. It is possible to catch large speckled trout near the end of March or through late fall but the best time to trophy fish is from the middle of May to the middle of June.
