A Day in the South Louisiana Marsh- Redfish and Speckled Trout!

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.👍🇨🇦

[@datlouisianalife]

We really appreciate your positive feedback. How's the weather over there? It's crazy hot over here. Heat index been around 110 degrees.

Was gonna go to Lake Boudreaux this morning but had to leave for Mississippi for a job. Maybe next weekend. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍

[@datlouisianalife]

Went to Point Aux Chenes this morning. Wind was kick'n and it was hot as hell. Didn't catch much today.

[@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 🎣

[@davidbridges51]

You make my day,enjoy a new adventure each day

[@stevehenderson2571]

Gotta love catching them on a spinner bait. Great action as always.

[@JayCWhiteCloud]

Your drone footage Keith is excellent...!!!

[@datlouisianalife]

Thank you very much! 🎣

[@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.

[@chriswf21]

spent many many days out there on both kayaks and skiffs hunting reds! Love it there!

[@datlouisianalife]

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

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. 🎣

[@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!🎣

[@paulwalker6339]

[@datlouisianalife]

They are fun to catch!

[@Grant-c1l]

Man you must have a lot of fish in the freezer Keith. I think I would have kept a few to release in the grease. lol

[@500ssscott7]

So I am guessing this is salt water I am from ny on Lake Ontario so I would not be the one to know but sick fish

[@datlouisianalife]

It's actually brackish water. Fresh and Saltwater mixture. Thanks buddy!

[@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!

[@greenman4508]

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

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.

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.
