Why the Moon Made These Fish Bite!

[@jimhahn2728]

My grandfather used to plan his trips to the camp in Buras by finding the right tides to go with the 1st and last quarter moons. I can 't tell you how many times we caught more than a 100 trout, reds, bull croakers and drum. We fished English Bay, Bay Joaquin, Bay Scofield and Cyprien. Those were great times, from 1966 - 1990.

As a native of your neighboring state to the east, I’m very jealous of the area y’all have to fish! Another great video!

Todd, I’m sure you’ve already tried this, but on the slim chance that you haven’t; I love to fish the major time of the solunar on the night of a full/fuller moon. The submarines come out to feed. An added bonus is the epic wildlife viewing, that only happens at night. There’s nothing quite like it.

[@michaell1665]

I also question the solunar period - always figured even a broken clock is right twice a day! However, sometimes it appears to click - last week in my kayak solunar tables said 2pm was the beginning of the period. Not a huge haul, but most of my fish were caught between 2pm and 3:30pm!

Todd I heard that most of the marsh has depleted in Empire and is nothing like it was. I want to make a trip that way again, but it’s been since the 90’s and wondered what it looks like.

Lot of land loss. But they’re doing a lot of river diversion projects to re build the land

[@MarshManMasson]

Lots of marsh still on the east side, but very little on the west side.

Water looks so nice bro

[@southernbite3463]

I also think it pays off to fish when everyone else is working like normal people.

Todd I just noticed that it looks like your trolling motor is not a salt water variety. Is that true? Have you had any problems with corrosion? Otherwise, great video and great information as always!

[@jonah-n8l]

Mines not a saltwater model n I fish same areas he does and zero problems

[@MarshManMasson]

So far, so good.

[@speckledtruth4577]

Albeit not a perfect science, I’ve seen far too often a bite go berserk around a major or a minor. All that said, you can’t catch em on the couch! Keep the videos coming brother!

[@derekmatirne2625]

this is me. do the trout have worms in them where you're at?

[@jonah-n8l]

Sometimes! But eatin them won’t hurt you

[@nola49erfanlo14]

YES they do

[@askip7]

Dude…you should’ve kept that fish! Gaff tops taste awesome! They’re less fatty and cleaner tasting than blue cats.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro! Tell me ur kidding

[@askip7]

@@jonah-n8l Not at all! Have you ever eaten one? If not, I’m telling you bro…try one and see! Tastes way better than speckled trout 💯
