It takes a lot of work, and a lot of time to make a successful channel, but you and your awesome family have what it takes to be one of the best.👍🇨🇦

Great places to fish, crab, and shrimp around Point Aux Chenes.

[@aarons2148]

Betcha can find some nice flounder up in dem marsh! Love me some specks n reds bouncing the jigs

[@datlouisianalife]

I know there are a few flounders hanging around but I don't usually catch them. I'm sure a different bait would work better for flounder but I normally target Redfish and trout. Flounders are lagniappe for me on 🎣

Awesome job, I bet you love your new boat, keep it up buddy, love you

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. You must have a freezer full of fish to throw those fish back in. 😂. I know...saving some for us. 😂. Keep the videos coming 👍👍

[@datlouisianalife]

When the freezers full I usually just keep a couple fresh ones to cook the same day. I got to keep some room for shrimp if you know what I mean. Thanks buddy! Always great hearing from you.

[@waynenoll1967]

Reds are so much fun to catch on light tackle. My buddy and I got into a school of snook in the intercostal in Florida one time. We were throwing gold spoons on 3 lb. test line and for about 35 minutes it was just “cast and catch”, lol. The redfish were running with them and I caught at least 3 that were in the 8 pound range. It wasn’t snook season so we released everything we caught but it was big time fun.

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

Those reds looked like they were stacked up! Really shallow water huh? Good rounded day reds and trout! Looked like fun pad na!!

[@datlouisianalife]

The reds were there but hard to run the troll motor through that mud. Probably around 10 inches of water. It was definitely worth it. My favorite kind of fishing. Watching those reds attack the bait will get the blood flowing every time. Thanks buddy! Keep it up on your end. 🎣

[@stevenssunshinefarm5560]

Throughly enjoying the channel!! We get to visit LA occasionally with work and love it every time. Even took an air boat ride and touched gators once. So much fun! Love the house boat and area . Don’t like all those spiders though, lol.

[@datlouisianalife]

We have a wide variety of fish around here. With the saltwater and freshwater mixing, we get the best of both worlds. Reds, Speckled Trout, largemouth bass, and the list goes on. A Lot of the time we can catch all that in the same place with the same bait. Definitely a sportsmans paradise! Thanks buddy!🎣

Our freezer is always full of fish. We give a lot of it to our family.

[@greenman4508]

Is that water brackish, or fresh? Such a beautiful area. How about the place you were swimming in the last video? It didn’t look as muddy as I expected it would be, when your boy was pickin bug’s around the cypress. I think cypress only does fresh water, which makes those fresh water muscles? Did you know Roosevelt almost released hippos in the Louisiana bayou for food ? You may like another channel I follow from a fellow backwoods Franko, Billy rioux adventurer. Good stuff! I drove around down there but never got on the water so I only saw the path. Enjoying the channel.

[@datlouisianalife]

The water where I was fishing is brackish. A lot of times you will catch fresh and Saltwater fish in the same spot and same bait. The area around our camp is fresh water. No way I would have gotten in the water if there were hippos!🐊 Thanks for the info!

@@datlouisianalife we have 12-14 foot tides in Maine, so it changes fast in these parts.

[@masinic]

Hey I never been to the dams there yet. Can a bass boat make to the dam ok.

[@datlouisianalife]

You can make it to those dams but you would have to launch at the end of Point Aux Chenes road and go left in Grand Bayou.

[@masinic]

I see thanks for reply. me and my wife and son been going down there doin some crabbing and throwing the cast net. Point aux Chenes is a beautiful place. Be nice to bring the boat and try and catch a red or 2 while crabbing.
