Great fishing out of Sweetwater

Yesterday was some great fishing out of Sweetwater & today was way better! A lot of speckled trout were caught today. Fish were caught all over the interior of Delacroix. We heard of some speckled trout being caught in Lake Batola and Grand Lake. On yesterdays charter, Captain Jack came in with 15 beautiful reds and 13 beautiful speckled trout. Today, Captain Jack came in with 15 beautiful reds and 40 beautiful speckled trout. Both days he fished with Scott and Scotts son, Cole.

They flew their own plane in from Little Rock, Arkansas. So glad they had good trips, because they went to the city for the first time and were robbed of the planes key, computer & flight bag. Whoever stole it sold it to someone on the street, the buyer (purchased his computer for $80) called Scott and he was able to buy it back for ($100)…. Anyways, back to fishing business..Today was a top notch day for fishing, no wind, trout biting, water cleared up tremendously! I would recommend you trying to come down asap, to get in on the good trout action. Captain Jack has a couple days available this week..possibly Wednesday & definitely Thursday. If you are looking to get in on an awesome guided fishing trip, hop on Captain Jacks boat & get ready for some fun & good fishing! Whether you want to fish with Captain Jack or bring down your own boat, I suggest getting down here NOW. The live shrimp situation is great! We have beautiful live shrimp. The weather is looking beautiful for the rest of the week. Gather up your buddies and come on down! We do have some lodging available for the week, limited spots, call Monday 504-342-2368, if you would like to book. Hope to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina, where we love our customers! 

The start of a beautiful weekend to come!

Capt. Jack has a charter with Robert, Bob, Billy, and Tim. Capt. Jack fished scattered bays all through Delacroix, they threw back as many as they caught. They were going more for size than quantity. They caught 20 Redfish and 2 bass.

Steve & Terri went fishing today with their grandson Brailon they caught 2 trout and 4 Redfish. Brailon is one of our frequent Sweetwater fliers, and he enjoys spending time with his grandparents 😉👍

Kevin Ford in Delacroix at Sweetwater Marina with Capt. Jack!

Kevin Ford Had a great trip yesterday with Captain Jack Payne out of Sweetwater Marina in Delacroix in St. Bernard Parish. We drifted some current lines and shorelines early and then caught a few nice reds later in the day. Had a few blowups and caught a couple of trout on She Dogs but most fish came on live shrimp under a 4-Horsemen Popping Cork and 1/16 Deathgrip Jighead. The rooms at Sweetwater are also super clean with WIFI if you are looking for overnight accommodations and come with a full kitchen. Thanks again to Jack and his staff for a great day in Delacroix

Over cast day

It’s was an over cast day, but a few dozen fisherman took advantage of the rising tide. We ran low on live bait this morning (we sold thousands) but we have a fresh load on its way!!

Mr. Jay, his son, and his friend went fishing for a guy’s day out and caught several fresh water Catfish, Drum and Sheepshead

The Sweetwater Seal, went out for a short while this morning to throw a few casts and brought in some nice trout! ✅

This amazed me… this morning I witnessed 3 guys cleaning together, an assembly line of beautiful Redfish cleaning this morning. Nice work guys. 😉👍

Hope everyone had a great Easter Holiday weekend. Hope the Easter Bunny was good to you too. It was a beautiful weekend and a good day today also!

Saturday, Capt. Jack had a charter with Kevin B., Todd, Garth, and Kevin. They had to fish with low tide and full moon, which made it a little difficult in the beginning but with a little hard work and perseverance the caught 19 Redfish.

Today, Capt Jack had a charter with Mr. Wilkie and his son’s, Ben, Collin and Brett. They started off with extremely low water this morning and then it came up after 11. They had tons of throw backs, but then brought in 20 Redfish and 3 beautiful flounder (the unicorn of the water)🦄

Mr. Mike and friends had a Sweetwater charter with Capt Matt. He was accompanied by Billy D, Will and Harry. They caught 18 Redfish, 4 Drum and 1 Sheepshead and are looking forward to another trip very soon.

Mr Mark, one of our favorite frequent flyers at Sweetwater, brought in 5 Redfish for his morning boat ride, before 10 am. I still can’t believe he drives all the way from Georgia for his bimonthly visit. See you in a couple weeks. 😉👍 🎣
