Best of luck, but you probably won't need it. It's really good right now.

Thanks for watching!

We don't have the size that you have, but we sure do have the numbers.

Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I can't imagine Birmingham is known for its fresh seafood.

R L Man, I’m there with you. Spent years fishing Venice then moved from the Red Stick over 25 years ago. Lived in Bham until about 10 yrs ago and loved it but still too far from the La coast. In NE MS now and am chomping at the bit to get back and fish in the marsh. Will be in Bham for the next few days visiting with family.

For jigging, I like a 7' medium-heavy-powered rod with a fast or extra-fast tip. That turquoise rod is a St. Croix.

Hey, thanks for watching, and it always makes me happy to hear about kids getting on hot fishing action. That's what hooks them for the future. Specific location information is available at www.patreon.com/marshmanmasson.

What's y'all limits on specks and reds

Alright, you talked me into it. Send the check and I'll move lol

@@jonathanlavergne6306 12 for specks and 25 a day and 5 reds a day between 16 and 27 but only 1 a day over 27 in that five

Were you asking about Louisiana's limits or Alabama's?

I’m printing the check now! LOL. 14 inch specs, 10 a day. 16 to 26 inch red’s, three a day, one over. I fish the Alabama Mississippi border, so we stick with Mississippi laws. 15 inch specs, 18-28 inch reds.

Now's the time to go!

I try to discuss techniques that would work in any area. That's more beneficial than pinpointing an area that's good today and may not be tomorrow. Those who do want more specific information, however, can get it at www.patreon.com/marshmanmasson. Thanks for watching!

The launch is by the Chef Pass and the area looks like between hwy 90 and lake Borgne , you can get there from the Rigolets as well--pretty big fishery. The main thing is, is reachable quickly from most of the metro New Orleans area without driving over an hour so you can fish it a lot and learn the area and how it reacts to different conditions--if I'm not mistaken, that's part of Todd's fishing philosophy.

Roger that. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll put one together in the coming weeks.

@@MarshManMasson If you had to plfick one braid for an inshore baitcaster geared for trout, whats it's gonna be? I put fins windtamer on all my spinning reels, but am stil getting used to my lh retrieve 12 fishing concept. I like the 30lb suffix 832 on the baitcaster, haven't had any problems but haven't tested it enough. I feel like windtamer might be almost too round and kind of dig in on itself on the spool more than the finns. Any thoughts?

I've been using J-Braid lately, and really like it.@@danhalen2546

Should be excellent.

And what topwater would you throw for trout

Stay tuned; that video will drop tomorrow. I actually reference my conversation with you in it.

If you're asking about the reel, it's a Shimano Curado K.

Normally, I supplement with ice packs, but that day, I went with only ice packs.

I guess if we wanted to maximize our efficiency we could have done that, but we were simply out for fun and a few fillets. We left feeding fish that were biting every cast before we even had our limit, so it really wasn't about the numbers for us that day.

Nice! Our subtropical climate allows speckled trout to thrive most of the year, and our extensive marshes (thanks to the Mississippi River) provide an abundance of edge habitat. We probably can't touch you on striper fishing, but our speckled trout population is off the charts.

It seems like it! I’m sure they’re enjoying shrimp paradise as well. We had a trout kill last winter I am surprised how abundant they are this year but you find the schools and it’s just easy as you mentioned in the video.

Are the fish smaller this year on average since most are under a year old?

You would think, but our minimum is 14 and today I didn’t keep one under 15 with biggest being 18. I usually don’t keep full limit but would have no problem limiting daily. I applied to get a tagging permit yesterday after catching one with a tag to learn more about their habits. There is the occasional

I used to be a PowerPro guy, but something happened with the product. Now, it breaks if you sneeze on it or do something crazy like, you know, popping the cork. I've been using J-Braid lately, and so far, I really like it.

Thanks Todd

Have to agree with you. Good tides this coming weekend.

Not at all. I make specific information available to my patrons at www.patreon.com/marshmanmasson. Hope to see you there!

A Lew's Tournament MB with a medium-heavy Crucial. Not the exact setup I would have preferred for this bait, but it was what I had available.

I never tie straight braid in any situation. I use a double-uni knot to tie a fluorocarbon leader.

Marsh Man Masson thanks man appreciate it

They're available all over, but louisianasportsman.com is usually where I go.

tides4fishing is what I find myself using and it's by no means perfect. But if you're looking for a quick look at buoy data and tide info -- I don't know, maybe you're looking it up on your phone while gassing up en route to the da parish cause you got granted an unexpected fishing window -- it seems to do OK. Just keep in mind that the Shell Beach buoy listed on their site may be and hour or more behind the tide expectations once you launch out of the Hopedale area, or more if you head on a semi-longer rung south. Or, their readings may be slightly ahead if you launched somewhere in the Paris road area. Pay attention to weather and radar the most, you can catch fish on a crappy day if you find moving water with bait sometimes, but don't let fishing conditions distract from really bad weather possibilities. They also have a good bit of solunar information and barometric pressure info ratings on the website. I don't know or really care most of the time, because, like a lot of people, I fish when I can fish, not when I bullseye the tide and transit of the moon. But it cant be interesting to make note of if it matters or not once you see how you did based on the prediction of "fish activity". I'd love any of the tide forecast sites to incorporate up to date salinity readings. But hey, you don't know till you go and you'd be surpised sometimes when fishing conditions look like doo-doo on the internet and turn out to produce fish when you find the right moving water. Safety first as always, Thanks for the vids @marsh Man Masson

Yes. With the channel booming, I just didn't have the time to devote to it that I needed to.

Say what?

lol?

louisianasportsman.com, which is unfortunately down today.

Don't let the doorknob hit you...

@@MarshManMasson yea I get it. Just don't see the point in keeping the dinks that's all. Good luck with your channel.

I don't see the point in keeping the big ones, @@adamsmith8533. I let those go.

Yes, indeed!

Sorry 'bout that!

Shimano Ultegra 2500

That's the size minimum in Louisiana, and we can keep 25 per angler. Our marshes are loaded with fish.

@@MarshManMasson okay great but how much are you going to get off for a 12 inch fish let him go back and grow

No chance. I'd rather eat a 12-inch trout than a 13-inch trout, and I'd rather eat a 13-inch trout than a 14-inch trout, etc. Unless I have a specific reason for keeping them, I let go any trout over about 17 inches.
