Sight Fishing for REDFISH in the Marshes of South Louisiana! Less than a Foot of Water!

[@JohnN-u9l]

I've been and worked all over this earth but my years in Louisiana and the friends I have made from there are the most memorable of this Tennessee man's life.

Outstanding single handed fishing Keith. ☮️💜

Beautiful fish. Great video.

I am handicapped…house bounded. I have never been fishing but I find your videos calming. Keep them coming.

[@datlouisianalife]

Thanks so much for your kind words. Take care!

[@karlrockvoan755]

Just got around to watching your Video Keith , really enjoyed this one , been chasing trout lately , I’m a member of LaTag recently i gotten a report back on one of my reds I tagged , travelled 41 miles out to the Candelier islands were a fella caught it again and reported it to LaTag , ya caught some fine reds , I’m going this morning to do the same , hope to have the same outcome , Thanks again for sharing your video , looking forward to seeing the next one , need to take the family on one of those redfish round ups .

[@datlouisianalife]

@@karlrockvoan755 Hats off to you for doing what you do on tagging fish. That's awesome that you do that. Sure is amazing to know that those fish travel so far. I'm definitely gonna be taking my crew out there soon to try and catch a few more reds. Good luck to you out there. Always good hearing from you! 🎣

I'm a big fan of fishing with silver and gold 1/4 spoons. I prefer to use the spoons when the grass is thick. I use spoons a lot around the Point Aux Chenes area.

I fished for redfish for years, out of all the fish they are the hardest to set hook and get in the boat. I say this not blowing smoke, you are the best redfish catcher I have ever seen :) FA REAL! love your videos.

[@Pompano-gy5nj]

Well thanks for taking us along on THAT little excursion! Almost WALKING on them, eh? Unreal. What a peaceful day. The kind most fisherman I know live for. Sorry you lost the big one ...but way to take in stride! Great job, great attitude, and kudos on catching dinner. And oh yeah, that IS one helluva playground (and toy--the boat)!! Cheers man. Nice to see a guy having a truly excellent day of fishing alone. That kind of experience is so rare (for most) and sought after. LOL on the ramp return----ONE CAR! Bah ha h ahaha hah aha!! YOU got it FIGURED OUT.

[@datlouisianalife]

I do enjoy going fishing solo, but I much rather when my whole crew is with me. It doesn't always work out where we all off together. I get a few days off during the week (hence the reason why there were no vehicles at the landing) which gives me a chance to scout out some new area. I truly enjoy being out there whether I'm catching or not. It's the best stress reliever there is. Thank you for all your great comments! The one thing I think I got figured out is, that life is short so we gonna do the things we love to do as much as we can. 🎣🎣🎣 Happy Thanksgiving!🦃

[@kennethcressoine-ln6im]

Good video 👍👍. We launch at T-irv's all the time. We fish around Bayou Plot and Grand Caillou Bayou. I don't recognize the area you were in. Any hints 😁? Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming. 👍👍

[@datlouisianalife]

I don't normally fish Dulac much but I been trying some new places. I was fishing around Bayou Rambo. I rode around until I started seeing Redfish and started fishing. The water was really low that day so it was easy to spot them. Thanks buddy! Maybe we will bump into each other out there.

Wait. Wait. WAIT! You can go fishing for deer in that bayou?!?! Dang, Keith. Louisiana really is a Sportsmen’s Paradise! LOL You be safe out there… Cheers! Whipple

If you are ever there try Me Maws on 3235 in Galliano. Bacon wrapped shrimp for the win! Lots of Reds and crab there too.
