Hopedale, Louisiana Fishing Report by Capt. Britt Ordes

Post hurricane Barry report! The fishing has been unbelievable since hurricane Barry, it took a few days for the water to settle but once it did mayhem took place! The redfish bite has been out of control, limiting before 7:40 AM and catching close to 100 fish a day! Speckled trout on the other hand finally appeared in big numbers! The storm surge brought in some saltier water, but it’s still not completely rid of all the fresh water coming from the Mississippi River. The new dose of somewhat saltier water brought a whole new crop of fish along with a ton of bait!! And as fisherman know if you have plenty of bait the fish follow. Limits of trout came in all week this week and plenty of redfish too! We are booked for the rest of July but do have a few dates open for charter fishing and lodging for August. This hot bite should last a few more weeks, if you want to come down to south Louisiana and experience this crazy action give us a call!
