This is Key to Specks in Louisiana Marsh!

[@joeysmith6154]

Todd I understand your joy in trips like this one. Each cast stirs all 3 verbs of fishing. Frenetic, Fun & Frustrating while the driving force of Anticipation keeps us engaged. If you keep making them , I’ll keep buying tickets. Enjoyed it Bro.

[@barrywuthrich8530]

"They are where they are. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense." Yep. Back in the 1990s I got into fishing and read two or three of the most popular books that told me where the fish would be, and when. Then I later found out that the fish can't read. lol

[@ETuss713]

Its trout time. On the mid-upper Tx coast its been great. From 630-730 AM yesterday I was able to get 6 specks, all between 18"-23" wading from shore. Im not Chris Bush or Jay Watkins, so thats a great day for me. Thanks for the great content.

[@fishcamptv]

That drum was huge, they're great fighters. 🤠

[@MarshManMasson]

Yeah, they just don't give up!

[@joeysmith6154]

Todd it’s crazy, frustrating and loads of fun. The anticipation of the next cast is almost addictive !!! An E for effort and excellent video. Thanx for sharing.

[@DanPorter-jq4uv]

Those are some beautiful fish. Very spotted. I agree with you on juvenile black drum! Delicious.

[@MarshManMasson]

Yeah, I'm never disappointed to catch a 16- to 20-inch black drum

[@markchambers2812]

Thanks Todd 🤙

[@bobbyramey3410]

The wind on my days off has been killing me ! My small boat and old back can’t take it ! 😂

[@agould53]

"It's gonna be a big day for you" 😂

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

Boat trouble I agree we throw the whole day off, but it looks like it turned out well for you!! Great video man!

[@ethansmith7659]

I put puppy drum right up there in my top 3 inshore eating quality fish. Flounder, trout, drum, sheep and red fish….in that order.

[@media1groupDC]

Damn, that's one of the biggest tank drums I've ever seen hooked up.

[@ernestleal6890]

Our catch regulation for trout changed too. Ours went to 15"-20" (used to be 15"-25") and 3 bag limit per person with one oversized over 30" allowed per person per day. Sucks down here in South Texas...3 specks doesn't make it worth going out after all the expenses.

[@ste-bow771]

We need a tackle box tour.

[@ETuss713]

Okuma Hakai. I picked a couple new, in box for $70 ea h at a clearance sale. Love the reel. Wish it was centrifugal brakes though.

[@Jacemang_Outdoors]

Another good video. How you liking that Okuma baitcasting rod?

[@chrismacaluso5658]

Alligators, black drum, speckled trout, brown shrimp jumping all in the same spot? Just the Mississippi River Delta doing what it does.

[@kweeks10045]

Now just need an anaconda

[@gchamp3]

This weekend, We threw back 3 limits of 12.5” trout - rubber stamps. Still ended up with a good amount of quality fish. Tried to toss the little ones away, but dolphins still got about 10-15 of them. I am hopeful we’ll see a bigger group of fish next year though!

[@jimhahn2728]

I added a 3rd battery for my Humminbird on the bow.

[@dawsonlatiolais1990]

Hey man what do you think is the best affordable bait casting set up. I have always used spinning and looking to buy a Baitcaster

[@murderedrsx]

I keep a noco jump box in my boat.

[@ste-bow771]

Same here. It’s not if you’ll need it, but when.

[@JT_70]

I keep a Viking lithium-ion jump box from Harbor Freight in my boat and vehicle. It has come in handy many times. It’s quicker and easier than trying to jump from another of the boat batteries or from another vehicle. Well worth the cost.

[@brandonharper4270]

how do you keep the grey seadek so clean?, i have trouble getting stains out of mine.😑

[@rhettarceneaux]

Just bought a vexus 1980, I’m loving it so far but still trying to figure out where the fish are. You do any charters? I’m out of south Louisiana.

[@MarshManMasson]

Lots of great charter captains in South Louisiana, but I'm not one of them. My days are spent shooting KZbin videos.

[@Islandroadoutdoors]

What length rod do you normally use on your jigging setup? I’ve seen some people use very short rods like a 6’4 but others use something more conventional like a 7’

[@MarshManMasson]

I use a 7-foot. I understand the logic of a shorter rod, but a 7 is a good compromise for casting distance, sensitivity and responsiveness.

[@Smokinjoedotorg84]

What Rod are you using for the bait caster?

[@MarshManMasson]

Okuma Tournament Concept.

[@tylerbeebe5999]

When do you expect to start catching some bass Mr. Todd?

[@MarshManMasson]

I've tried for some here and there. Marsh bass fishing just hasn't been all that great in a while, probably related to last summer's heat and drought.

[@tylerbeebe5999]

@@MarshManMasson Agreed. I have had the same experience. Basically 1 a trip.

[@zacklee3899]

I thought 12” trout were extinct

[@billmoss5624]

👍😎✌

[@dixie3087]

Have you been finding the fish over there are FULL of worms? Out of 15 trout, all were full of worms. I’m used to seeing one fish like that or maybe 1-2 worms in a fish. By the time you pulled them all out, the meat wasn’t edible (to me anyways). I know they are safe to eat, but very unappealing

[@MarshManMasson]

Common this time of year because the fish are eating shrimp. Yes, these all had spaghetti worms in them.

[@dixie3087]

@@MarshManMassonI’ve never heard that about the shrimp causing it… I was under the impression they got them from rubbing on the bottom (I’ve noticed the ones with sores are almost always filled with them).

[@MarshManMasson]

Yep, the cycle is shrimp pick them up from eating shark feces. Speckled trout eat the shrimp, sharks eat the speckled trout.

[@dixie3087]

@@MarshManMasson wow I didn’t realize that. Thanks for that info

[@LarryBoyfishing]

That was a big ugly,nice water view

[@anthonycyprusjr7829]

Got word from the Regional Director of our NShore CCA Chapter that we have 53 tables of 8 each confirmed for this Th'usrday's annual banquet,to be held at the Castine Center.Maybe de ole Marsh Man can join us,doors open at 6:00 pm and we have plenty of fun with both live and silent auction items.Many.many years ago,when I had both the fun and luxury of chartering some of LA's finest salt-water guides to entertain my clients and one of the guide services I was able to use happened to be Phil Pobichaux's guide service and for whatever reason,they were NOT catching many reds but instead we were nabbing fine black drum,typically 18-22 inch fish and Phil's guides swore that those fish were better eating than comparably-sized reds.They are basically first cousins as reds are know as red drum and of course black drum share the same last name.We NEVER kept many over about 22 inches for a variety of reasons,chiefly that smaller ones rarely had parasites while bigger black drum typically are LOADED with worms,mostly near the tail section.Just got back from yet another incredible Ozarks vacation and we chartered an incredible guide,Danny Barker,and this was our third consecitive yearly trip with Danny and we had our 7 year old grandson with us.Caught 57 rainbows and kept 15,our legal limit and they are great cooked on a smoker,especially smaller ones.Hope to see ya this Th.
