Month: December 2020

Good news- we got a good load of live shrimp in today! If you are coming tomorrow, come get some live shrimp from Sweetwater! We have plenty for tomorrow. Today, there were a lot of redfish brought in. There were a few handfuls of trout. So, if you are coming tomorrow, come early. Try for trout first thing..if you don’t catch them, then go catch your limit of reds! Captain Jack took out Joshua & crew today- they hit the docks with their limit of reds and some freshwater cats. Sorry that we didn’t have bait the last few days,  but this time of the year catching bait gets tough. We hope to see you all soon & hope you all have a happy new year! If you are looking for lodging or a charter for the new year, call 504-342-2368. We would be happy to get you set up with Captain Jack or one of the great captains we work with. Captain Jack is always ready to hit the water & help you create some wonderful memories here in Delacroix, reeling in fish & scouting the Delacroix scenery. Nothing better than a Delacroix sunrise & sunset! Come watch one of those Delacroix sunrise/sunset from 20ft up- our lodging provides a great view of the Delacroix marsh. As always, whether it’s for lodging, a charter or just to launch at the Marina, we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina! See ya soon!

Attention guys: we do not have live shrimp or dead bait for tomorrow! We do have minnows. So, pick up your shrimp on the way down! Campos has live shrimp, or you can probably try one of the places on parish road. If you get an opportunity, come launch with us. Trout fishing was ok today. Most caught at least 10-12 trout. A couple of other groups of customers in the 30’s – one group with 37. The weather should be warmer tomorrow, so that means the trout bite should be even better. I would definitely try to make it down tomorrow to catch some beautiful trout. The redfish are always biting and pretty much everywhere, so those aren’t biting. At least you know, if you make the trip, you will catch something! As always, we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina!

Today Captain Jack & his charter
caught 20 reds, 3 catfish and 2 bass. He took out Mr. Corey Roussel, his son, Reese, and Reese’s two buddies. Reese was a 2019 little league World Series champion. They had a great day of red fishing. They smashed the reds. They finished their limit at around 11am, but they sat there catching and releasing..making their own championship fishing matches. It was a world class day. Captain Jack always tries to go above and beyond for his charter customers. Even if they finish catching their limit early, he tries to make sure they have a fun filled day of fishing. He doesn’t just return to the dock immediately after the limit is caught. Catch and release is a great thing. We are sorry about the shrimp situation, but we should have it figured it out by the end of the week..whether we can continue to find them here in Delacroix or if we are going to have to start picking them up. So, if you are coming, make sure to pick up bait on the way down. However, we definitely appreciate you guys still launching with us. We hope everyone had a merry Christmas, and we are hoping you all have a great new year! As always, can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina- the marina that loves our customers! If you would like to book a charter or lodging, please call 5043422368.

Captain Jack took out Mr. Mark Barre’s group today! They had 21 reds, 17 trout & 3 sheepshead! It was a beautiful day out on the water! The fish were biting great! Tomorrow should be another great day of fishing, so come on down! We have plenty of live bait, & we hope to see ya tomorrow! The reds are biting everywhere! & the trout are biting pretty good too, since the weather warmed up- we posted all of the hotspots yesterday, so check the out! Don’t pass up on the great fishing! Can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina, the Marina that loves our customers!

If anyone would like to go out with Captain Jack tomorrow, call me now at 504-342-2368! Jack is ready to take you out to catch some fish!

Captain Jack has tomorrow open for a charter! Call now to book your trip! You won’t regret it, and he promises you’ll catch your limit of reds!! Call now – 504-342-2368!

Today was such a beautiful day for fishing! Pretty good speckled trout action today out of Sweetwater! At least 15 customers that Captain Jack talked to said they caught good numbers of trout- some even limited out! There were a few customers that said they caught a mix of fish, some caught real good numbers of trout & reds & some limited out on the trout! Tomorrow should be even better fishing. Remember, the water has been low..the tide is coming back in, but it will still be low tomorrow morning..so don’t try taking any short cuts. Heard about 6 different hotspots today- where the twin pipe line meets Lake John, Fourhorse, Campo, Potto Cabalo & False River (in the deep hole where it goes into Campo). Some other customers talked about fishing in the deep bayous- they said they caught limits fishing on the bottom. We have plenty of absolutely beautiful live shrimp for tomorrow! If you get an opportunity, come on down..again- remember, the water is going to be low the first half of tomorrow..so go to your deepest spots! Tomorrow & the first half of Saturday ( if the rain doesn’t come in too fast) should be the best days in a little while for trout fishing! & if you like to catch reds, they are catching those everywhere- so no worries! Anyways, make your trip tomorrow and Saturday morning! Can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina, the Marina that loves our customers!

Good evening everyone! Hope everyone’s had a nice & productive Wednesday! Captain Jack & I did some work at Sweetwater today!

Here is a catch up on the fishing report:
Yesterday, a group of customers caught 20 trout in Lake John area. Not much more info- didn’t talk to many customers yesterday.
Today, we had customers catch a good number of fish. The weather will be absolutely beautiful the next few days. So, if you get an opportunity, come on out to Sweetwater. Warmer weather = trout bite!

Shrimp sitch:
WE HAVE PLENTY LIVE SHRIMP! 🦐

Yesterday, Captain Jack & his charter caught a limit of reds. It was a great day of fishing, overall, for the customers leaving Sweetwater. A lot of customers with limits of reds, but there were a good number that brought in some really nice trout, as well! We had one group that caught 75 trout, yesterday, & they went back out today to catch some more this evening. It was around Fourhorse. There was no wind yesterday, which was a little different from today. They mentioned that it was beautiful where they caught the trout. Today, Captain Jack & his charter – Mr. Paul Sterbcow, his son & his sons friend, caught their limit of reds. They had a great trip! This week is supposed to be a really good week- probably the best we had in a while. The weather is going to warm up, finally! It will be in the 70’s so probably by Thursday/ Friday the trout will be biting good here in Delacroix.

Captain Jack has a great time taking customers out fishing! He is an amazingly dedicated captain. He always goes the extra mile for his customers- to make sure they leave satisfied! He will stay out hours past, when others would call it a day & say “it is called fishing- not catching.” He truly cares, whether or not his charter group has a successful/ fun filled trip! You won’t regret booking with Captain Jack! You will be getting your money’s worth. He not only cares about his customers & gives it his all- but he always makes sure his customers are laughing & having an enjoyable time..he is great with kids or anyone requiring patience. So, call and book your trip today- 504-342-2368! He has some dates open this week & winter fishing is the best fishing!

Side note: we are hoping to fix Sweetwater back up soon & have it better than ever! However, the insurance company is taking their nice old time…we pay so much money in insurance each year..to have to fight them to get what you are owed, when you need it! It’s truly disgusting. We are doing the best we can to get Sweetwater 100 % back in action…even if it is taking longer than expected..

If you get an opportunity, the wind has laid down tonight. Tomorrow looks like it will be a great day. So, see y’all tomorrow! & remember…we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina!

Cold day of fishing today, but a great day, nonetheless! Captain Jack
took out Mr. Reginald Slusch & crew today! They came in with 25 reds,
3 freshwater cats, and they had 5-6 throwback reds. Reginald loves
fishing with Captain Jack! They all had a great time. Now, on to the
customers catch..it seems everyone brought in redfish, today. Tomorrow
should be a better day for trout fishing. We have plenty of live
shrimp, & we hope to see you all at Sweetwater this weekend! We love
to see our customers happy, because they spent a great day on the
water. Whether you catch a fish or shoot a duck isn’t as important as
time in nature, time on the water, time with friends or family, time
to just have a peaceful day to yourself…there is no better sanctuary
than being on the water. However, we always hope you guys go out and
catch plenty fish to fill your freezer…I know a lot of you want to
share pictures of a wonderful catch, & this is the season for it.
Winter time fishing is phenomenal! So, load up the truck & boat, grab
a 12 pack & your ice chest, your poles, your tackle- and ride, until
you hit Sweetwater Marina, in Delacroix, LA …you won’t regret it..no
matter what ! See yall soon! Happy fishing!
