Fresh Bay St. Louis Fishing Reports

Lots of fun out on the water when the fish are biting.

Craig was down from Michigan on vacation and wanted to catch something he had never caught, so flounder was on the top of the list, along with puppy drum and sheepshead. As usual, fresh live shrimp under a 4 Horsemen popping cork around structure filled the bill! Unfortunately a large i flux of fresh water into the bay completely shut down the HOT speckled trout bite we have on the last 2 weeks, so we didnt get his Inshore Slam. Per true Lazee Daze fashion we kept the boat in the water until every last piece of bait was gone! We threw back bunches of short redfish and sheepshead and kept just enough keepers for him to have a good meal.

Mom and Dad wanted to let the little one catch some fish and bring enough home to eat and Capt Dave made it happen! He tutored and helped the young angler learn to fish while the parents did their thang.. fresh live shrimp under 4 Horsemen popping corks did the trick. Released 31 smaller trout and at least a dozen rat reds with a few small sheepshead thrown in just for good measure.

This family wanted to catch a variety, so we did just that!! Live shrimp under popping corks and bottom with carolina rigs filled the box on these tasty Bay St Louis fish! A good high tide and fresh love shrimp proved to seal this deal.

Wind kept us confined to a small area on Bay St Louis, but we managed to have a great time catching sheepshead and even a couple rat reds and small flounder.. Customers didnt want keep their catch so i kept a few for the freezer ? an Inshore Special this morning that lasted 3 hrs and an Afternoon Special that we stretched 2.5 hrs throwing back fish after fish!!

After getting the camper set up ready to start the new season, i took the CEO and the Chief Mechanic out to stretch the legs on the boat. We took 2 dozen fiddler crabs and 5 dozen live shrimp to the Bay St Louis Hwy 90 bridge and the CEO hooked this bull red the 2nd cast! After that we proceeded to put a whooping on the sheepshead with a bonus flounder and a big stingray!! We didn't launch till 11:45 and were out of bait by 3:30! Come fish for these brawling bruisers before they leave for the summer. These are some of the hardest fighting inshore fish available!
