Month: March 2021

We would like to say sorry for being MIA, for a while. Also, apologies for our live shrimp situation. We would like to give a huge shoutout to all of our captains that have been running trips for us & all of our great customers. Special thanks to Freedom church group for coming to fish with us this past Saturday! They took out 4 boats. One boat caught 36 speckled trout and a few reds. Two boats caught 2 limits of reds, each boat. One group caught 9reds – which one little boy caught fishing by himself. We appreciate everyone that has been coming to see us, & we hope to see you all some more!

A couple weekends ago, we had some cold, frigid weather that was 10-15 degrees lower than what it was! When, we didn’t catch any fish.

Mid last week, the weather warmed back up, the water cleared up & the trout bite was hot! For a lot of our regulars, this past weekend – the trout were on fire. However, even if you weren’t a regular fishing this past weekend, most still managed to catch decent numbers of trout and some scattered redfish.

Today Captain Jack talked to some anglers that had some really pretty trout.

The weather is going to mess up starting tomorrow. We would advise watching the weather before you come. However, if you are a clear opening with the weather, while the kiddos are off for the Easter holiday, come on down! We would love to see y’all!

We are hoping to get some shrimp soon. We are working on getting Sweetwater back together. We are hoping this will be a blessed summer for Sweetwater.

As always, thanks for choosing Sweetwater, the Marina that loves our customers.

Captain Jack fished the last 4 days. He had pretty good success. 57 trout hit the dock on his Saturday trip, with a couple of his buddies. On his Sunday charter, they brought in 27 trout & 5 reds. Monday’s charter, they brought 30 trout, 3 reds and a bass. Today, Captain Jack and his charter brought in 38 specks and 15 reds!

It is crazy how fishing goes…Today, Captain Jacks trip had a better catch, than Sunday or Monday, yet it was windier today (rougher condition).

Sorry about the live bait situation! We are waiting for our shrimper, in Burus, to get his boat back up and running. We will be out of live bait, until further notice. Captain Jack’s group used 3/8 oz jig head (fishing on bottom in wind) along with the matrix magneto. Little glass minnows have been showing up all over, so those are the perfect color to use.

Great news, as far as clear water, the water has cleared up beautifully in Delacroix. We have clear water in spots that haven’t been clean for a while!

As far as hotspots, trout are scattered from Reggio side to Delacroix side. It seems like the redfish are a bit scattered, as well. Seems like you can catch 2 on each point. Moving around is key right now, since the reds aren’t quite grouped up. Overall, fishing seems to be getting better and better. It seems to be falling in line for the spring. So, if you get an opportunity, come on down & get in on the spring time fishing action!

The books for lodging and charters are filling up FAST for the busy spring season! Between rodeos, tournaments and our regular spring charter customers…the books are getting slammed. So, if you want to make sure you can be squeezed in for specific dates, call NOW! 504-342-2368.

As always, we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina, the Marina that loves our customers!
