We Caught BIG Speckled Trout at BIG Platforms!
Рет қаралды 80,265
If you want to catch big speckled trout, there's no better month to do it than this one, and there are few better places than the oilfield structures that dot the nearshore waters of the Louisiana coast.
That's why I got up before many people had gone to bed to meet Capt. Triston Elston near the mouth of the Mississippi River in Venice, La., for a bumpy trip into Breton Sound.
Was it worth it? Check out the video for all the details.

Unpopular opinion, so please don’t flame me too bad. If the state would lower the limit to say, 15 fish PP at 15” length, Louisiana would likely see a trout fishery the likes you have never seen. With the amount of bait, those fish could get to 30” like we get here in Texas, but in stupid numbers.
@isaacsmith5188 Жыл бұрын
The reason we have the 12 inch limit is because all of the 15-25 inch trout come and spawn in the marsh and in the bays, the reason we don’t have 30 inchers is because once they get past that 25 inch mark they go out to Texas or they go the other way towards Mississippi Alabama and Florida
@MarshManMasson Жыл бұрын
Actually, speckled trout are extremely estuary-loyal, with most dying in the same basin in which they were born. There are exceptions, obviously. I documented one in my book that was tagged near Grand Isle and recaptured on the Florida panhandle. Why Louisiana doesn't grow trout as big as some of the other states is a matter of debate among biologists. In my view, the aggressive commercial menhaden fishery in Louisiana puts a cap on both speckled trout size and numbers.
@dannyneal9713 Жыл бұрын
@@MarshManMasson to go along with what you are saying is something I very much agree with. I understand ppl who aren’t from here want to experience the Louisiana experience but I think charter fishing trips and especially bowfishing charter trips should be extremely limited compared to what a regular person should be able to take home on limits. Even a regular person with a bowfishing rig shouldn’t be allowed to have the standard limit as a rod and reel limit. Before the keyboard warriors have a fit I personally have a bowfishing rig we don’t over a 3per person limit on reds even though we can shoot many more.
@cfizzle6211 Жыл бұрын
I think coast wide, if the trout community had a “bass fishing” mindset of catching and releasing for sport, we’d see an uptick in the quality of speckled trout. It’s worth a shot. The regulations right now aren’t working.

You wade fishing? If so, don't get out of the boat until you see bait. It seems obvious, but some people get eager and start fishing, even if they don't see any prey. Good luck!
