Hi, this Tinia at Sweetwater! You’ll be hearing a lot more from me, as I work Sweetwater’s office now! Give me a call at 504-342-2368 Monday-Friday 9am to 5pm for all your booking needs.
Weekend Agenda:
We had great fishing take place this weekend, with the wind being so much lighter than it has been. The fish have really been biting. People are catching them all over the place here in Delacroix. The water has cleaned up, tremendously. We’ve been trying to keep up with the live shrimp, and we’ve been doing a pretty good job. This weekends shrimp supply/demand was a little tough to keep up with, since we were busy hosting the Laitram Fishing tournament here at Sweetwater. We greatly appreciate your patience!! We would like to give a big thank you to Mr. Dien Vu, for hosting the Laitram fishing tournament here at Sweetwater this past weekend. We would, also, like to thank all that fished the tournament, lodged here at Sweetwater, bought bait, fuel, etc.
Shrimp Report:
It has been hard with the white shrimp being so big, right now. However, we predict that issue will be getting resolved soon (possibly as soon as a week). Brown shrimp are here in Delacroix, they are just a little too small- pins. Once they grow a bit, we will have the perfect bait shrimp/live shrimp.
Charter/fishing Reports:
Friday and Saturday Capt. took out the Ditto group, they had a great time and caught plenty of beautiful fish. Yesterday, Capt. Jack took out Mrs. Judy and Mr. Brad. They dodged a little rain in the morning but ended with what turned out to be a sunny, beautiful day. These two always have a great time with Capt. Jack. Mrs. Judy even says she thinks she really can cast now! One of the pictures posted is of the Hoang group. They had a great trip with Capt. Jack on April 24th. The first picture posted is 2 of our regulars, Mr. Brown and Mr. Jess Hutcheson.

Great day of fishing today out of Sweetwater. Captain Jack fished with Mr. Roy Blanchard, his brother & friends. This was their second trip with Captain Jack. They enjoyed themselves both trips & said they will be back in the near future. They caught 18 reds, 3-4 bass & a couple fresh water cats. They had a lot of fun. The weather is looking beautiful for the rest of the week. If you want to come down, we can’t wait to see ya! Unfortunately, we do not have live shrimp for tomorrow. However, Captain Jack & his group used some of our fresh frozen shrimp. They did the trick. So, come scoop up a bag & hit the water out of Sweetwaters launch. Open from 5am til 5pm 7 days a week.

As far as lodging, we have 2 rooms available for Friday night. Call now to book – 504-342-2368. June and July are booking up QUICK, so call now to hook your dates!  This goes for both lodging and charters! You don’t want to pass up a summer trip to Sweetwater! & You guys definitely need to come check out the lodge, once it is complete. We are hoping to have it finished by the end of June!

Tough fishing the last two days. Captain Jack ended up with 14 redfish in 2 days of fishing. Missed 4-5 each day. Captain Jack & group fished till 3:30pm today. He tried every trick he knows & every spot he could, with the wind conditions. Couldn’t make it happen. However, the Wiegand group said they had a good time. The conditions for this week look good- the weather seems to be straightening out. Captain Jack has some charter openings for next week. If anyone wants to book a trip, call 504-342-2368 to book. We have some live bait for tomorrow. If you come early, you should be able to get some. We open at 5am. We hope to see you guys tomorrow. Here are the pics from Captain Jacks trips Saturday & today , with the Wiegand group.

Jack fished with the Mr. Nathen Fear & his three buddies for the last 3 days. We posted a pic of them 2 days ago. The pic today is from yesterday’s charter. Today’s charter was pretty much a disaster. They caught one red & missed three others. Ofcourse, Captain Jack worked a deal with them. Captain Jack has been busting butt, with a lot on his plate. Working with contractors, getting gravel delivered, charters, etc., etc. It never ends. They said they will be back next year. They had a great 2/3 days of fishing & caught a break on the 3rd. They were headed to the casino. Captain Jack said win some money &book their next year trip. 🤪 Captain Jack will be fishing the next 3-4 days & then off 1-2..then, back at it for a week straight. Busy,busy. The shrimper is supposed to be going out tomorrow. So, we will update you all on our shrimp situation, as soon as they hit the tanks tomorrow. They have been catching big beautiful specks- using double rigs on the bottom. If you have a chance to come down, the weather is looking fabulous. So, come on down! As always, we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina!

 

Great fishing today out of Sweetwater. They caught good amounts of specks today! Some guys did really, really good. We seen some new anglers today that caught fish. Seems like fish were coming in from all areas. On Captain Jacks charter today, they caught 20 redfish. They beat the rain. They were in for 10am. Sorry about no shrimp. Hopefully, we will have some for the weekend. Fishing still seems steady with the specks. Even in water that doesn’t seem to be that clean, they are still there. If you get the opportunity, watch the weather before you come & get in on some trout action. Captain Jack & his charter from Saturday- hit the docks with 19 reds, a sheepshead and a catfish. They had a great time fishing Saturday. Saturday wasn’t as easy as today. They fished till 1:30pm Saturday. Whereas, today they fished till 10am, with almost the same amount of fish. Today Captain Jack & crew caught their fish with some of our Sweetwater dead shrimp. If you need any lodging or  a charter, give us a call at 504-342-2368. As always, can’t wait to see ya at Sweetwater Marina! 1st pic from Captain Jacks charter today.2nd pic is from Captain Jacks Saturday charter.
