A Million Trout on the Beach!

This is the speckled trout fishing for which Louisiana is known.

The last week has been incredible. We caught some great trout on the grand isle beach last few days! It was nice to meet you a few weeks ago at Bridgeside with my kid. Glad to see you making videos in the area.

That is great to hear! Beach fishing is a blast.

[@JCASTELLUCCIOJR]

West of Belle pass….FIRST TRENCH from beach ALWAYS GREAT! 1/8 oz jig: using what pound test braid?

Hey Jon. What baitcasting reel do you recommend? I'm a spinning reel guy but would like to try a baitcasting reel. Thanks, Mike

[@JonMillerFishing]

I use Shimano bait casters, Curado, Chronarch, Metanium, Core, and Aldebaran. They have held up very well for me in brackish and saltwater fishing.

thanks

[@GrassBandit]

Great video, what kind of rod are you using?

[@JonMillerFishing]

The green one is a G Loomis, medium-fast, and the black one is a Reaper medium-fast

[@GrassBandit]

@@JonMillerFishing Thank you, I’m looking for a good trout jigging rod that has a shorter cork handle or maybe a split grip handle but a larger sized foregrip to grip while jigging. Any good suggestions?

[@wayfararout6258]

I really like that bait too what is it?

[@JonMillerFishing]

Do you mean the Slick lure? Tadpole looking thing?

[@wayfararout6258]

@@JonMillerFishing yes sir

[@KimberlyRobinson-kc5jn]

You seem to fish in rough water, why not a bay boat? Your boat is made for floating shallow flats.

[@JonMillerFishing]

I also float shallow flats and use it to get into creeks when the water is low on the flats. There are many reasons why I run this boat. Right now I have to tow my boat long distances to get to the good trout fishing. The trip in this video is 150 miles each way and I may do that every weekend in the summer. Towing this small boat is easy and economical. There are always tradeoffs with boats, but my 17' flats boat is getting it done in my situation. Thanks for asking.
