Thank you so much! I don't know why more people don't sign up. I'm just sharing everything I know so folks can have fun catching fish!

it’s not just inshore fishing in Louisiana that this info is good for, it’s worked for me in Texas as well!

@@LAFishBlog I hope that the channel itself becomes a solid revenue stream for you as well, because as another user pointed out, it's absolutely top tier.

If I wanted to do that I'd tell ghost stories. lol

Thanks for watching!

If you manage to stay on the fish (and ahead of the crowd) you most likely will. :)

Thank you, Chris!

Thanks, will do!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you, this made my day!

Everyone misses. Everyone gets backlash. Everyone has bad days. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Dude yeah. This is right now the best produced channel I watch. Devin really raised the bar on that.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! Will do!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you like them!

Amen! And thanks for watching!

No it does not! lol

FaceCrap can’t keep a good man down

thats the far away thing for me, im in Slidell so the trestles are close although i like lake Catharine most of the year

Glad you enjoyed it, Wesley!

Thank you so much! This really made my day!

Thanks 👍

Thanks for watching, Mark!

I try. Thanks for watching!

I 100% agree lol

Hey Bart, thanks for commenting. Delacroix has had a freshwater influence since the 90s, when they built the diversion at Caernarvon at the request of the oyster industry. The fishing is good, but it has definitely changed. I have not been making as many KZfaq videos as before because I am working on overhauling Inshore Fishing 101, my flagship course. It sounds like your brother in law could learn a thing or two in it, but if his mind is closed then he'll never learn anything useful anyway. I thank you for your viewership and am happy to tell you that I recorded a new video yesterday and will get to processing the raw video today. Tight lines!

@@LAFishBlog I will be seeing it soon.

That is awesome!

What do you mean by "such a draw"?

Thank you for the kind words!

The Trestles is an older structure that's been replaced at least once. There's a lot more cover in the water.

@@LAFishBlog What entices , attracts or “draws” the speckled trout to the trestles more so than the other bridges?

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for coming

@@LAFishBlog ur welcome

💪

Never hear that saltwater fishing before. It’s an old adage fly fishing but is just as true with a bait caster or any reel. It’s the only think actually free fishing and we all tend to under use it. Hook sets are truly free. Cheers Devin

Just giving credit where it's due. Keep up the good work.

💪

Hey Tim!

I hope so, that would be awesome!

I try. Thanks for watching!

Great minds think alike

It's pretty cool.

Hey Ryan, thank you for the kind words. You'll find the answer to your question (in detail) in this guide I wrote on my website: www.lafishblog.com/best-tackle-for-jigging-speckled-trout/ Tight lines!

@@LAFishBlog thank you for the reply! I actually started digging and stumbled across that article a little bit ago. Lesson learned search more lol. Once again amazing videos and maybe I’ll see ya on the water soon.

Drop shot rigged with Gulp works well. Or even live shrimp.

Yes, sometimes fish are there.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Yes, indeed. You'll know the jig hits the bottom when you see the slack give out. This guide explains in detail: www.lafishblog.com/lake-pontchartrain-bridges/ Thank you for watching!

Thanks Devin! I’m learning!! Videos are awesome too!

Good luck!

@@LAFishBlog thanks, caught one good sized flounder about the size the one you got but nothing else to keep , on the bottom with shrimp just junk catfish and nothing else on the jig, although i forgot my trolling motor remote and had to go back for it so i was very late on the water

I am of the opinion that they Trestles action is largely over and, any trout action that does heat up will be quickly pressured. The key to getting the Trestles when it's good is fishing it before people are talking about it. That's why I HATE when people ask on Facebook if "they should fish spot x" because they were "just wondering". It's a good way to miss a lot of good fishing. My advice: just go, keep reports, learn from them, adjust for the next fishing trip. I'm sure there are still some fish to be caught on the tracks, but if I were you, I'd be looking for where they're moving next. I've already done that, limited out yesterday and today on speckled trout, and nowhere near the Trestles (but fishing the same area). Check LAFB Inshore for the full report.

As for the cameras and editing...I am so glad you understand that. It is a lot of work and I'm happy to do it when people show they love it.

It's bad for audio. Not everything is fishing related when it comes to making these videos.

Because I want to know how many specks I catch. When I have to find fish and record the whole dang thing having that clicker helps a lot.

@@LAFishBlog ok I never thought about it that way. Keep making awesome videos!!

closest launch is the pointe marina, used to be called the dock

What Tyson said is spot on. As for weather, I like it when it's calm and overcast.

I covered this in the video. You are stuck fishing what tide you get. What's key is fishing what you're given. Where was I during an incoming tide? A falling tide? As for wind speed, it depends on the wind direction. If it's blowing 20mph from the north then guess which side of the lake won't be rough?

Are you just making stuff up based upon how you feel or do you have some kind of hard science you can link up? I get comments like yours every once in awhile and all I can say is that if you're that concerned about the fish, and really feel that releasing back into the water is somehow on par or worse than into the cooler, then my suggestion is that you just avoid fishing altogether. Or, you can learn the real science behind catch and release. Yes, jacking them in the face with a sharp steel hook and having them out of the water isn't exactly conducive to their health, but these fish are much hardier than you realize. If you haven't listened to Chris Bush's (Speckled Truth) podcast with Dr. Greg Stunz then you need to. Otherwise there's just no point to having a conversation here. Find it on Spotify. Let me be clear: I am not releasing fish to virtue signal my righteousness, I am releasing fish because this is something I do for a living and I firmly believe catch and release will make a better fishery here in Louisiana. There is always (and always will be) the "next step" in conservation, and what I mean by this is that there is always some detail you can add to make the catching process that much easier to the fish. Instead of boat flipping them you can gingerly pick them up. Then you can wear gloves. Then you can wear a face mask to avoid breathing on the damn thing. Then you can handle it in the shade so the sun doesn't get on it. Then you can give it tickets to a Dave Chappelle show before sending it off on its way after having harassed it with a fake meal. Actually, why not don scuba gear and jump in the water with the fish so it never has to leave the water in the first place?! Or, better yet, I will put out flyers underwater asking fish to volunteer for my next KZfaq video, so that way no fish are being hooked against their will. I think you get it. So where do you plan on drawing the line? This brings me back to my first sentence "then my suggestion is that you just avoid fishing altogether". My brand name is very clearly "Louisiana Fishing Blog". Not Texas Fishing Blog. Not "wherever the hell you're from fishing blog". And here in Louisiana the very first step in conservation is getting people to stop eating everything that swims. Geez, people here will kill a fish just because. Just getting these fish back in the water in the first place is a HUGE WIN. Hopefully you understand that. Thanks.

It depends on what I'm fishing for. Sometimes, yes.

In this case, jigging, yes. I use FC as a mainline. That or monofilament.

The Pointe Marine in Slidell is a good start.

@@LAFishBlog thanks!

Yes, it absolutely is.

@@LAFishBlog magic clicker.

None of that is true. This has been debunked multiple times. Look up the podcast episode Speckled Truth did with Texas marine biologists.

What kind of camera do you shoot?

@@LAFishBlog- I am a master with the IPhone camera and take directions well. I make amazing boomerang videos. I have access to a new Samsung phone with 100x zoom to make them undersized trout look like keepers.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha excellent answer

@@LAFishBlog I don't do a whole lot of talking but I just like to stay fishing all my life and I think Captain Devin is the best fishing man on KZfaq you don't f*** around ambrosia very honest man 65 years old like honest person my hat goes off to you keep up the good work be careful out there have a good life thanks again

@@dougpeterson6128 Thank you for the honest review, Doug!

But great video. Love the content and keep up the great work

Yes, sometimes.

Only a couple, actually.

Have you ever thought about fishing the area where the old 1-10 bridge used to be , pretty sure there plenty of the old bridge still laying down there ?

Well, if you think you can catch more fish you’re welcome to prove it with reports inside LAFB Inshore

Well, good thing it's out there for you to catch. Geezum 🙄
