35 Yellowfin, Giant Trout & Louisiana Fishing Lessons
Welcome to this week’s Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, covering New Orleans, Venice, Hopedale/Delacroix, Grand Isle, Houma, and everywhere in between. Host Andre’ Savoie looks back at some of the best recent conversations from across Louisiana, including Capt. Josh Edwards of Calcutta Gold Fishing, Jerry Cottrell of JBF Kayak Charters, Capt. Danny Hunter of New Orleans Best Charters, Capt. Shawn Mitchell of SaltyFrog Fishing Charters, Capt. Aaron Benfield of AB Charters, Capt. Joey Lemoine of Cast on the Other Side Charters, Capt. Ryan Vincent of Reel Cajun Fishing, and Capt. Frenchy.
Highlights include Josh’s story of hooking more than 35 yellowfin in one day without landing one because of sharks, Jerry’s six-pound tournament trout getting attacked during the fight, and Danny explaining why keeper tripletail can turn into complete chaos around the boat.
The episode also features some of the best fishing lessons from recent shows. Jerry talks about slowing down and working productive water longer, while Capt. Frenchy explains how bird behavior, muddy water around feeding catfish, clean-water edges, and even the sound of shrimp popping can help anglers locate trout and redfish.
Other highlights include 20 bull reds in about an hour, strong cobia fishing around Grand Isle, big flounder, and a debate over whether white trout may be one of Louisiana’s best fish to fry. The show closes with Capt. Sean Mitchell sharing the personal story behind the Salty Frog name and the promise he made to his father to become a charter captain.
