Fishing For Trout & Redfish After Hurricane Sally

Learn where to catch speckled trout and redfish in my course Fall Fish Location: www.lafbelite.com/ffl/
Where can we find speckled trout and redfish after Hurricane Sally? Join me as I launch out of Hopedale, Louisiana to see what the storm surge left inside the marsh.
Yes, the water got high as the storm surge from Hurricane Sally was strong, but we never saw anything more than that during the storm as she stayed just east of us.
The first day I could get out to go see what's out there is the day you see in this video.
I launched from Hopedale Marina (formerly Breton Sound Marina) to do what I could with a rising tide, but what I really wanted to take advantage of was the falling tide.
And that's because the white shrimp are on the move, and where we can find white shrimp we can find an easy bite of speckled trout.
But high tide isn't predicted to fall until way later in the day.
So the fishing trip was slightly challenging and tons of fun.

Good video and good day of fishing.

[@LAFishBlog]

Thanks, Richard!

[@johnlantz3771]

Funny, I start with plan Redfish, and then Seatrout are the back up plan, along with catfish and bass. :) As always, another great video, thank you!

[@LAFishBlog]

Thanks for watching, John.

Tide surge , good video.

Glad you enjoyed it, I just really wish those trout cooperated.

[@glenncolomes7857]

Really enjoyed the video! Not boring like many others out there, professional grade for sure. Thanks and keep um coming!

[@LAFishBlog]

I'm glad you liked it. I'm not sure about "professional grade", but I try my best and sometimes that cuts the mustard. LOL Thanks for the kind words and thank you for watching!

[@mrsuperd1983]

Every trip I take has a redfish backup plan, LOL

[@greogorybilliot1435]

Great content! Yes, it would be good to see an entire day at the damn!

[@LAFishBlog]

That's another vote for the Rock Dam! LOL Looks like I'm gonna have a long, hard day of going back and forth on the trolling motor ahead of me. LOL

[@jag3rb0mb]

I’ve always preferred a falling tide.

[@charlesmiller3625]

Good trip and good video, Capt. Devin.

Thank you, Chuck!

Sly he storms definitely push the fish in. Nice video bro 👍

[@LAFishBlog]

Thank you!

[@ronnieA251]

Hi Devin. Thanks again for the fish! Michael and I did catch some specks after you left. They were on the west side of the dam. It took catching 4 to keep 1. We also caught some bigger ones earlier in the morning on top water baits before you got to the dam. (The darn pelicans were going after the baits as well.) Thanks for the great videos. Keep 'em coming!

[@LAFishBlog]

Did you guys see the hole in my pants? lol I was wondering that after discovering it. Anyway, it was great meeting y'all and I am sure we will meet again. Tight lines, Ron!

[@ronnieA251]

@@LAFishBlog Same here Devin. No we didn't see the hole in your pants. I would have definitely told you about it. I always told my classes to let me know if my fly was open, I had food caught in my teeth, smudge on my face, etc. Heading back down tomorrow to Hopedale by myself; Michael had to head back to Indiana. It should be a pretty day and hopefully a good fishing day. I really want to get on a good top water speckled trout bite.

[@higherthanmost1112]

Rock wall produced again today. Drop shots in the corners and close to the rocks and you can catch fish as long as the water is movjng

[@LAFishBlog]

That's awesome! Thanks for the report. I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but you can get fishing reports for that area and more in Louisiana (as well as post your own) in our Facebook group LAFB Inshore: www.lafishblog.com/louisiana-fishing-reports/

My Shimano Curado has 11 pound drag and I catch bull reds all the time with it. People are idiots. Great video man

[@LAFishBlog]

lol I hear you, thanks for watching!

[@allentufts8799]

Great trip by me, it was a long day of catching! There was a nice assortment of species and some good fights to be won, all in all good stuff....not sure about boat flipping reds into the boat but it seems to work. Thanks for the content and tips!

[@LAFishBlog]

Man, I covered a lot of water and that's what you don't see. That gas gauge was resting on E for a long time before the boat was finally put back on the trailer. But, few people want to watch someone grind and get his ass kicked for hours on end. LOL I was happy to at least have limited out on redfish, but I think it was too soon for the trout. What else was really weird was the lack of seagulls. There were practically no birds anywhere in the marsh. Strange.

Hey Devin! Great video! Always enjoy your videos, from planning to review. Keep up the good work, I feel you have taught me a lot.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being a member of LAFB Elite. Tight lines, Roy.

[@joebleaux7039]

A Day on the water is better then a day in the office. Tight lines!

[@LAFishBlog]

Sometimes I'd say that I'd rather a good day in the office, but the difference between the water and the office is that I struggle to stay awake doing paperwork and writing, but when I am on the water I can go forever. There's just something about being on the water.

[@joebleaux7039]

@@LAFishBlog I don't get tired on the water either. I stay out as long as i can. Catching trout in Lake Pontchartrain now. You may already know that but i figured i would give a little report about it. Tight lines!

[@clarencewatson8563]

Falling because the season calls for it..The time hasn't changed yet,so a week or two after this occurs you never have to rush to get out on the water for the rest of the year due to the water coming in mainly in the evening time

[@LAFishBlog]

That's not true. What time the tide falls is on a cycle (I forget how long it is) that causes the timing of a falling tide to be at different times of the day. I've got years of fishing reports showing this, in fact you only need to look it up. That and the tide falls differently across the state of Louisiana, and moves differently through variously shaped bodies of water.

[@Werks]

i work at hopedale

[@LAFishBlog]

Great, that's awesome.

[@grantscott8999]

I thought he broke his rod

[@randywillheit2330]

Great Trip in My Book, Really Enjoy Fishing in The Evening Rather Than The Morning and Don't Mind Spending Hours Out There, Relaxing to Me, Especially When Catching! I've Always Been a Delacroix/Reggio Fisherman But Hasn't Been as Productive to Me in The Last Couple of Years. I Still Haven't Made The Run to Get on The Back Side of The Dam, But Plan on Using Your Video to Make That Run Soon, Waiting for Fall and Vacation to do So. Really Enjoy Your Content, All is Very Informative and Enjoyable to Watch, Thanks For Sharing 👍🇺🇸

[@LAFishBlog]

Hey Randy, thanks for commenting! I agree, it's very easy to stay out there all day and just enjoy being on the water. It's so peaceful. That video I made will get you there no problem. For anyone reading this who is interested to know what video we are talking about it is this one right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCWgJt8iLamiqs Anyway, Delacroix and Reggio have changed a lot with all the high river water and Mardi Grass Pass and what not. Fishing Hopedale could be a good move for you, it's really not that far. Good luck, and be sure to post a fishing report in our Facebook group if you do go: facebook.com/groups/154496828630117/

[@tlarocca78]

I was planning a trip from Pensacola the week before Dat Da Dat Da Dat Da Dat Girl Sally showed up. Glad to see the content after the hurricane. Hopefully the weather & water will be nice in a couple weeks when I get to come.

[@LAFishBlog]

Me, too! I think you'll be good to go and that your timing will be perfect. Fall fishing should be in full swing by then. I built a free course breaking down Louisiana's fall fishing pattern for speckled trout and redfish that I think you find useful for planning where to cast a line.

[@tobyleblanc401]

Another Great video Devin. I always enjoy watching and learning new methods of catching fish from your videos. What bait were you using for the redfish?

[@LAFishBlog]

This one right here: www.lafishblog.com/how-to-rig-the-matrix-craw/

[@billlipscomb6717]

I live in fla so we can only keep 1 redfish. I love hopedale fishing you can always find a bite. Tourney winners are scarce but not impossible. I use pro cure a lot I like it. You did make me laugh with the "another sticking redfish " comment. Most folks here would love the have a 5 fish limit. Trout are the by catch. Our numbers here suck but that's ok. I guess. Love the videos. I like it better there when the water is up. Thanks for the video. Keep em coming. If ya have any info about houma area I'm all ears.

[@LAFishBlog]

I'd be fine with keeping one redfish if it meant we'd have a more abundant population to catch. I like finding and catching them more than eating them, if that makes sense. Y'all do have some nice big trout over there. Man, I wish we caught 30 inchers like you guys do! Anyway, thanks for watching. I appreciate you!

[@DarrylPerson]

I've been wondering the same thing. I think that would be a good idea to stay at the rock damn....capt.

[@DougieBFishing]

I thought that rod was gonna explode when you tried to flip that red lmao ... good video

[@LAFishBlog]

I had no idea what I was thinking. My sight fishing rod is a heavier 7' MH and uses 25lb monofilament, and I've been using that so much that maybe I forgot I had a 6'3" medium spooled in 12lb fluorocarbon LOL

[@LAFishBlog]

It was just "one of those days", I guess. I had a lot of missed fish and fish come off the hook. Hopefully that's it for awhile.

Hi, what can you recommend a good one handed baitcaster reel rthat does not tangle too much ?

[@clintfulbright1596]

Curado 70

[@LAFishBlog]

You know, it really depends on your needs and what you're using it for, and that's why I've created this guide to picking an excellent casting reel for inshore fishing: www.lafishblog.com/how-to-select-a-great-inshore-baitcaster/ However, I will tell you that a great all-around reel that will stand the test of time is a Daiwa Tatula 150 and, if you're looking for something smaller, the Daiwa Tatula 100. I also did a review on the Tatula SV, which is basically impossible to backlash. You can find that review here: www.lafishblog.com/daiwa-tatula-sv-review/ Thank you!
