What a beautiful day at Sweetwater Marina. Those who caught fish did great, those who didn’t were just happy to be in the water and can’t wait to come enjoy more beautiful days like today!

Capt Jack took, Thad, Will and Kenny on another charter and they had great success with their catch of 74 trout from the “Grave Yard” and 20 Redfish in Oak River. What a difference a day makes doubling their catch from yesterday!! We enjoyed having you at Sweetwater Marina.

Chip, Aaron, Brent, and son Jack went to Stone Island today and caught 11 Redfish, 7 trout & 2 sheephead. Little Jack said he caught his first fish today and it was the biggest fish also.

03.19.19 Spring is here!!

Spring is here and the weather is getting better and better every day and so is the clarity of the water! We are starting off the week on a good note and it’s only gonna get better!!

Sunday Zack went on a charter with Capt Jack, and they caught 15 Redfish in Oak River, and 19 trout in the “Grave Yard” Yesterday Zack and his friend went out on their own and caught 36 trout 10 Redfish. They are definitely enjoying the best Delacroix has to offer during their vacation.

Capt. Jack had a charter with Thad, Kenny and Thad’s son Will today and they had a great time. They caught 42 trout in Lake John and 20 Redfish Oak River. Will caught the best catch of the day and couldn’t wait to take a picture with his prize catch.

03.15.19 Brave the Winds

A few anglers launched at Sweetwater Marina today and braved the winds and rain…. it’s wasn’t a pretty day, but for a few the hard work paid off.
“Wild man” caught his 1 trout personal limit today ……lol 😂🤣 and his friends each caught one too… so they passed the fish around to take pictures for us….🤪

The best catch of the day was a redfish!! And the angler saved an injured pelican too!! Thank you !!

03.14.19  The wind is whipping

The wind is whipping, and the sun is out… but this doesn’t make for good fishing conditions today.
A few boaters went out today, and Redfish were definitely the catch of the day.
I just spoke to a few anglers who are Lodging at Sweetwater Marina, and are going out for some afternoon trout fishing. Hopefully they do well. They are heading to the Grave Yard and Little Lake.

Half the Tennessee fire department stayed at Sweetwater Marina this week, and shared a few pictures of their proud moments. They come here a few times a year and are looking forward to coming back soon. We wanted say thank you and see you soon, Wayne, Danny, Nick, Stephen, Blake, Matt and his son Gauge.

03.13.19 The wind didn’t stop Capt. Jack today!

The wind didn’t stop Capt. Jack today!

The wind was whipping, but they did pretty good with 44 trout!! Capt. Jack went fishing in Little Lake, Shrimp Lagoon, and Lake John. The fellas had a great time today and can’t wait to do it again. I think the pelicans were trying to steal the catch of the day as Capt. Jack was hard at work cleaning them. 😉

We have a fresh load of beautiful live shrimp! 🦐

03.12.19 Nice Catch!

It was a nice day at Sweetwater Marina, we had good catches for some and a little bad luck for a couple boaters.

Capt. Chris took Phil and Craig to his little spot in “The Grave Yard” and caught 50 beautiful trout.

Our 3 retired MS. guys, that come
EVERY week… 🎣 had their limit of Redfish and 2 drum from their favorite Four Horse spot. 🚣

03.11.19 Awesome fishing

Awesome fishing the last two days out of Sweetwater! Yesterday, Captain Jack fished with his good friends, basically family, Dr. Jimmy Heintz, Dr.Jonathon Heintz, Dr.Jay Heintz, little Jonathon Heintz and their cousin Zack, who is in a wheelchair. They headed out at around 8am. They went through the graveyard in heavy fog, and BOOM a boat coming straight at them at about 40mph..thank goodness it worked out right. Captain Jack turned right, and the other boat started to turn left, ended up turning right and they just missed each other. After that excitement, they headed to Bakers Bay. They caught 16 beautiful reds, one red about 35 pounds (that they threw back!) and about 40 other reds that they threw back, in Bakers Bay! After that they went to catch some speckled trout with a-lot of success. Right now, the water is beautiful all over the Delacroix region!! It should stay nice for the next few days. Trout have been being caught in Little Lake again, around the Bayou Long region (where the water is absolutely crystal clear), in Shell lake, Shrimp Lagoon, Fourhorse, all behind Lake John and on the other side of Bayou Terre Aux Boeuf…you name the spot and they are catching them there! We heard a report from where Bayou Lery meets Lake Lery..I know it sounds crazy, but thats how far the trout are in the inside. We heard some reports come from Little lake by Alligator Pass. Today, Captain Jack fished with The Duwe family from Grapvine, TX. They had a lot of success today. They ended up with 73 speckled trout and 10 redfish. They had a wonderful tome fishing with Captain Jack or as they called him “the legend.” Lets pray for Captain Jack, as tomorrow he will have to go get re-certified for all his pest control licenses…he is not that thrilled and would rather be fishing. He will be back to fishing by Wednesday. We will have plenty of live shrimp tomorrow. Sorry to the few people that didn’t get shrimp today..we are always trying our best to keep live shrimp in the tank. We are getting a whole load of live shrimp tonight. It looks like it will be cold this weekend coming, unfortunately. So, you can get in your fishing in tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and half of Friday. We can’t thank our customers enough..you guys are awesome! (The first pic is of Captain Jacks charter yesterday and the 2nd & 3rd pics are of his charter from today)

03.09.19 Mr Lloyd

Great day of fishing out of Sweetwater! On Captain Jacks charter today, he took out Mr. Lloyd Guillot, his son and his sons two friends. They ended up with 25 reds, 65 speckled trout, 4 freshwater cats and one drum. They had a great time fishing with Captain Jack today. Lots of customers caught decent amounts of fish. Our regulars seemed to have caught tons of fish today. Good news is that we will have plenty of live shrimp for tomorrow. Looks like we will have a forty percent chance of rain tomorrow, but the good news is very light winds. Captain Jack doubts it will rain. If it does, it should only be spotty showers. It looks like it will be a great day of fishing. The water wasn’t too dirty today, and it should be cleaner tomorrow. So pack the boat, grab your friends and see you at Sweetwater tomorrow !

03.08.19 Beautiful day in the neighborhood

It turned out to be a beautiful day in the Sweetwater Marina, Delacroix neighborhood. 🙌

Capt Jack had a charter today with, Mr. Joe Lassalle, Matthew, Edwin & Mason traveled all the way from our state capital of Baton Rouge. 😉👍They caught 15 trout, 18 Redfish, & 1 bass, the redfish came from Lake Batola , and the trout were caught south of Lake John.

Capt Jack, had a charter today with, Jeff , Chris and Mike. Capt Jack said the south side of Little Lake the water was very clear. They limited out on trout and caught 13 Redfish.

Joe , Tim and Paul limited out on trout, in the Grave Yard.

02.28.19 Darn Gnats!

Gnats, gnats go away!

Today was a decent day if you didn’t mind consuming a few gnats. I spoke to several anglers who said you didn’t half to go far to get the fish.
The hot spots of the day were; Little Lake by Alligator Pass, Shrimp Lagoon, Shell Lake, Lake Batola and the North side of Lake John. Little Lake by Alligator Pass , Shell Lake and Shrimp Lagoon has had good trout reports. Lake Batola an angler told me he had his limit of redfish and several bass. The north side of Lake John was the big producer of trout and redfish.

02.27.19 SUNNY DAY!!

OMG today was a beautiful day!! The sun was out!! The wind gave us a break!! And the temperature was perfect!! Just a few boaters took advantage of the perfect day.

Scooter and LJ launched at Sweetwater Marina , unfortunately one of my favorite boats had a little engine trouble, (hope he fixes it fast, I’m gonna miss my fav. boat) but still brought in 13 and a few redfish form the Lake John area.

02.26.19  Mother Nature

Just arrived!! A fresh load of beautiful live shrimp!! 🦐

Ok. So we all know Mother Nature isn’t being very kind to the fishermen this week, and if you are on good terms with her can you put in a good word for us please? It would be nice if the wind would lay down, the rain could stop , the sun can come out and the gnats stop biting…. 🙏

That being said. We did have a couple boaters go out today and catch a few fish, from Trout to Redfish and even a Catfish. The hotspots of the day were Shrimp Lagoon and Shell Lake for the Trout and Lake Lery for the Redfish… The weather is warming back up and should only make for better fishing conditions!!!!

02.22.19 Trout, Trout & More Trout!!

Trout trout and more trout is what was being cleaned on the tables of Sweetwater Marina today!!
🐠 🐟 🎣

Todd and Scott launched at Sweetwater Marina this morning and went on the Reggio and came in with 35 trout before 11:30 am. Wild man couldn’t make this trip 🧐, and they caught 34 more fish than yesterday. 😂

Buddy and Russ brought in 10 trout and the threw back 20 Redfish, better than the one trout I took a picture of him with, that they caught yesterday 😉👍

02.21.19 Sunny DAY!!

The weather has been foggy, rainy, and down right crappy the last few days with no trace of sun. Well today the sun was a pleasure to see 🌞☀️.

Capt Jack fished out of Shell Lake & Shrimp Lagoon for a couple hours this afternoon with his friend Freddy scouting trout. They mostly did catch and release but kept around 25 to cook this evening for dinner.😉👍

Buddy and his brother-in-law went fishing, launching this afternoon at Sweetwater Marina. They kept 1 trout, but played catch and release most of the afternoon with redfish fishing out of Lake John by the pipeline.

02.18.19 Weekend Gloat

The weekend was pretty awesome! A couple of boaters sent in some pictures to gloat on their catch.
Mr Scooter Madica and Franky had a 2 man limit before 10:30 am on Saturday morning in Four Horse!! Sounds like an awesome morning to me!!!

Mr and Mrs Redding shared their pictures from their charter in Delacroix, while they had a relaxing weekend at Sweetwater Marina. We give him bonus points for picking Sweetwater Marina for his wife’s valentine weekend 😉👍 .

The wind blowing from the north was a bit of a challenge today! With 6 boats launching from Sweetwater today, only one boater brought something in.
Pencil canal and oak river produced the only catch of the day.. .. they had a hand full of fresh water catfish and drum .

02.15.19 SUN?

Where is the sun☀️? I’ve been hearing the last two days the sun 🌞would show its face and the temperature would be in the mid 70s. I’m no meteorologist, but I can say it wasn’t sunny or 70s today…

Despite the wind and clouds, we received several decent reports today. So we will be looking forward to seeing you at Sweetwater tomorrow morning and Sunday!!

The catch of the day was Mr Cal Williams and friends with 40 trout and 7 Redfish his catch came from the pipeline near Four Horse.

02.14.19 Valentine

💨 The wind was strong and mighty today, but the fisherman won the battle!

Scooter Modica and LJ launched from Sweetwater Marina today and caught the trifecta; Redfish, Trout, Bass, and Sheephead. They fished the Lake John area and braved the wind and came out on top!

We had another angler who fished Oak River by the pipe line and limited out on Redfish and caught several freshwater catfish. They said the morning was easy catching but the afternoon became challenging with the wind.

BUT if you like Four Horse, an angler came in saying the south side pocket, has clear water and the wind didn’t affect them at all. They brought in several trout, a few redfish and some bass.

Come stop in the bait shop and see what we have. We have plenty beautiful live shrimp 🦐 ! Don’t forget to tell the ladies hi 👋
We have a couple rooms left for this weekend! Call Kelly to book yours. 504-324-2368.

02.13.19 Flounder!!

Today started a little slow this morning but one of Sweetwater’s favorite customers brought in the catch of the day.!! Not only did he bring in 15 trout but he also caught a flounder! The hotspot of the day was Lake John close to the pipe line.

We had just under a dozen boaters launch today at Sweetwater Marina. The morning was a little rough with the heavy winds but the anglers who went out said that was the hardest part of their battle.

We had few anglers with several redfish and more than dozen trout. Which tells me the next few days will be good fishing days!

02.11.19 Their Back!

Last week started out great! Friday was slow and windy, but Saturday and Sunday turned out pretty good, despite the chilly and windy weather. The trout are back and the Redfish are plentiful!

Mr. David Henry, his son Drew, and Darren Castleman had a great time catching trout, Redfish and bass. They lodged and launched from Sweetwater Marina and can’t wait to come back soon.

Fishing was a lil slows today but the trout are back, oh yeah, I said that already 😂😉👍so let’s look forward to some great fishing in the days ahead!

02.08.19 Lil Slow

Pretty slow day down at Sweetwater. We launched about 8 boats. A couple of them had limits of reds. One had 22 trout. Prior to today, this week, there has been some good fishing out of Sweetwater! Yesterdays action: there was at least 4-5 boats with limits of trout that came in to the dock. The wind should lay down some tomorrow. Better than today. Fortunately, the wind didn’t blow all the water out. The water is only 8-10 inches lower than normal. The wind will be North East tomorrow, so the wind should blow the water back in. We have some shrimp in the tanks right now. Call before you come down, in the morning, to make sure we have live shrimp. Captain Jack may be going pick up some more this evening from Empire; however, he is waiting on the call from the shrimp pimp. Wind should be a lot lighter, so the fishing should pick up by tomorrow evening. It may pick up tomorrow morning..who knows? The water temp couldn’t have dropped too much. So, we look forward to seeing yall here at Sweetwater Marina! The pictures are from yesterday..

 

02.06.19 The Seal of Approval

02.04.19 Trout biting

Good trout biting this morning. Captain Jack went out with his good friends, Tony Puglia and Mr. Alvin. They ended up with 60 trout. They were fishing VERY close to the marina. If you come on down, we will point out the spot on the map. They caught on both plastic and live shrimp. The bite was a bit faster on live shrimp. They could have easily sat out there and caught more, however they were ready to head back in. It was a great trip just seeing a speckled trout. Some customer went out today and caught some fish in some different spots. Its seems that the trout are here and biting pretty good. Hopefully, a few will lock in the inside. The water is beautiful. We have tons of beautiful shrimp. Come on down to Sweetwater, and we will point out some great spots. Better get your fishing in, before Thursday. I think Thursday the weather is going to change for the worse. It should get back up to the 70’s Monday! So, we hope to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina!

02.03.19 Definitely, worth the trip

!!Fishing is now, definitely, worth the trip to Delacroix!!!Today, we have heard all kinds of good reports coming into Sweetwater. A lot of smiling faces that we have missed. Trout, trout, trout: reports coming in from Little Lake! Little lake is the hottest spot out of all the spots catching trout. The pictures in this report are of trout caught by customers in Little Lake. Even black drum was brought in today. If you get an opportunity, come get on the great fishing. Also, if you are looking to go red-fishing, they have been bringing in boatloads of reds. Should be good trout fishing all week in Delacroix. So, we hope to see ya here at Sweetwater!!!

02.01.19 Boycott Special

Quite a few fisherman launched, at Sweetwater today. They came in with all kinds of different reports. Some had some fish, some had a-lot of fish and some had no fish. If you like to catch speckled trout, I can give you a small tip: Little Lake has been producing some really nice speckled trout. That is right; I did say Little Lake. Two different groups caught fish over there today. One group, a husband and wife, came in with 50 speckled trout..yes 50!! Nicole confirmed it! Another group of 5 guys had 16 speckled trout and a limit of reds. They were fishing in Alligator pass. Other customers caught limits of reds in different areas of Delacroix, like the Point Fienne area. No reports from Lake John today, unexpectedly; Captain Jack thought we would hear of some reports from that area. A few other customers came in with a good load of fish. It looked like alot of fish in their ice chest, although I don’t know the exact number. They would not tell us where they went, besides saying “in the Delacroix area,” and “in the water.” Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would say the fishing today was a 7. I could lie and say it was a 10, but thats just not how we roll at Sweetwater. Captain Jack just got back with a whole load of live shrimp. If I were coming fishing tomorrow, I would go around Lake John, South of Lake John (behind shrimp Lagoon and Shell Lake), Little Lake and Bay Andrew. For redfish, I would hit many spots in interior of Delacroix: Shrimp Lagoon, Shell Lake, Lake Batola, Point Fienne and Grand Lake. Im sure many of your favorite spots are producing. It should be sunny tomorrow, unlike today. The last quarter of the day the sun popped out. However, that is not the story for tomorrow. It should be sunnier tomorrow than today. Don’t forget tomorrow is our BOYCOTT THE SHITBOWL SPECIAL! Hope to see yall then!

02.01.19 The Saints Superbowl Boycott Special

Come join Sweetwater for the Saints Boycott 💛🖤

The Super Bowl Boycott Special

Sunday 02.03.19 ONLY

Last week was a bit challenging with the awful weather, but this weekend
turned out to be a beautiful, although slightly chilly. Hope you came out to
join in on some of the action. It was nice to see the SUN again. ☀️ 🌞

Friday, we had the pleasure of having a couple of our favorite customers
come in from Alabama, for a little day trip to Delacroix. We always enjoy
having Ms. Shannon & her friend here at Sweetwater Marina. 💙🚤

Saturday seemed to start out a little slow. We did have a couple anglers get 34 trout on Lake Amadee side of Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs. The secret to their catch was, get a deep hole and fish the bottom with live shrimp. 🦐 🐠

01.22.19 After the weekend pain (Saints)

Now that we are trying to get past the pain of last weekend and duck
season has ended, we are looking forward to a good weather weekend to come
fishing in Delacroix!

With the weather in the mid to upper 50’s and no rain in the forecast
after tomorrow, it’s time to get your pole in the water!! Come visit us at
Sweetwater Marina and get in on some Redfish action!

01.18.19 It was a sweet day!

01.16.19 “The Sheep Head Mother Load”

Come get in on the fishing action before you have to brace for the frigid weather next week! Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be good fishing days. The water levels are rising over night tonight and will make for a few days of good fishing.

Mr. Kelly, Mr. John, Mr. Danny and Mr. Paul (The Sheep Head Regulars) started the day by limiting on redfish in less than an hour today. They also caught 50+ sheep head about 8 feet deep, by the rigs, in Stone Island. All were caught on live shrimp and dead bait from Sweetwater Marina.

01.11.19 It was a beautiful Day!

It was a beautiful day today at Sweetwater Marina!! ☀️
With the water level coming up, combined with the wind dying down, it made for a perfect fishing day. 🎣

01.10.19 Fish Cleaning Available

Carley and Trey launched from Sweetwater Marina this morning and limited out on redfish, 🎣 had the largest catfish this month so far at 30 inches long and 2 green trout all caught in Oak River before noon. Carley caught the Redfish for his dad (Mr. Brent) one of Sweetwater‘s most loyal and faithful customers. 😉👍 Mr. Brent and Carley always get Tony to clean their 🐠 fish for them because Tony is the fastest and most professional fish 🐟 cleaner in Southeast Louisiana.

We have plenty beautiful live shrimp! 🦐

Bailey, Tyler, and Remi (yellow lab) limited out with ducks 🦆 this morning. Remi did a great job of retrieving all the kills. It looks like the next couple days are going to be optimal for duck hunters.

01.09.19 Red fishing & Duck hunting

Despite the beautiful sunny 😎 day we are having at Sweetwater Marina, the
🌬wind seemed to be keeping the fisherman at bay. The northern winds aren’t helping the water level either. Looks like Friday & Sunday are going to be
the better days for fishing.💨
Capt. Jack had a charter today with Mr. Norman Elfer, Ms. Sandra Parker, Mr. Mike Serotta, and Davin Kieff. The winds were a bit challenging but they were a bunch of troopers and had a great time anyway. Sandra and Mike are from New England and flew down to come fishing with Norman. Friendly Super Bowl banter was had by all, because we already know the Saints are going to win 😉👍.
Point Feinne was the hot spot again today for Captain Jack. The morning started off a little slow, but they caught 16 beautiful redfish and a bass, and they had a few catch and release. 🎣 

Don’t forget we have fresh beautiful live shrimp. 🦐 🍤
For all you duck hunters hears a few pictures to make you want to come to Delacroix. Farley and Randy went duck hunting and had a nice little kill, Lexi did a great job of bringing them in.
The next couple days are gonna be in your favor for duck hunters. Looking forward to seeing you at Sweetwater Marina. 🦆

01.08.19 Point Fienne

Captain Jack had a great time fishing with his good buddy, C.T. Williams! They headed out of Sweetwater to go catch some reds around 8am. They caught their limit of beautiful redfish. They caught a bunch of throwbacks, as well. They fished around the Point Fienne area. They fished with popping corks, for the most part. However, they did catch a few on the bottom. The red-fishing seems to be REALLY, really good in Delacroix. Everyone seems to be catching reds, when they go out on their trips. As far as the trout, it seems that more and more are showing up in the interior of Delacroix. The only problem is that the water just doesn’t seem to stay clean. There is so much river water; it is kind of hard for it to filtrate out that quickly. Today, Captain Jack & Captain C.T. Williams caught 15 keeper reds, 4 keeper speckled trout, 1 keeper bass and 2 keeper black drum, also around 20 throwback drum and tons of throwback reds. Captain Jack is looking forward to watching C.T. Williams & himself tomorrow night, on Fox8 news. It will probably air sometime around 9-10pm. Make sure you watch Captain Jack & Captain C.T. Williams catch tons of fish tomorrow night! Also, a few other anglers came in with some good reports. A couple of them had limits of reds. One group had 20 or so trout. We have plenty of beautiful, live shrimp for all of our great customers! The weather may be kind of windy for Wednesday and Thursday, but it should warm back up by Friday. The wind issue doesn’t seem to matter for the reds, but it does suck to fish in the wind.

In more news, we do have some boat sheds available. If you are interested or need more info, please call Kelly at 504-342-2368 Monday- Friday from 9am-5pm.

01.07.19 Great Fishing

This weekend was a great one for fishing. Hope you were part of that action. The Redfish were plentiful and so was the sun.

Capt. Jack took Mr Terry and Butch on a charter today. They limited out on reds and had a bunch of throw backs, Point Fienne Bay was the hot spot of the day.
We enjoyed having Mr. Terry and Butch from Tennessee here at Sweetwater Marina and looking forward to them coming back soon.

01.04.19  Catching up…

The first weekend of the New Year is upon us. Ya’ll coming fishing? We’d love to have you!!
Capt. Jack braved the winds today and took his dad, Big Jack, along with an old friend Mr. Terry and his buddy, Butch fishing today in Oak River. Winds were ruff, and not for the faint of heart, but they had a great time catching 5 Redfish and a freshwater Cat. They threw back more than they kept. Capt. Jack’s dad referred to as “Smiling Jack” and Mr. Terry have been friends for over 50 years. They piloted helicopters together in the Army during the Vietnam War. Catching up was the big part of today’s fishing trip. Mr Terry and Butch drove in from Tennessee last night to come stay at Sweetwater Marina. We hope they enjoy their stay as much as we love having them!
The duck hunters were killing the ducks today. We had several reports of good kills today.

01.02.19 Redfish New Year

Hope you had a great New Year, and we know fishing more in the new year is part of your resolutions, so here is something to look forward to this weekend. This weekend is going to be the start of a beautiful week. The weather is going to be perfect for fishing. It’s going to be sunny and the tides are going to be perfect for fishing in Delacroix.

Capt. Jack had a charter today with Mr. Bill, Christin and Collene from Seatow. They caught their limit of redfish and had a great time celebrating Mr. Bills birthday, he is making 83 years young this week. They fished around Shrimp Lagoon & Shell Lake. The grass mats are the secret to catching the best beautiful redfish. The New Year is starting off right.

12.31.18  Happy New Year

Sadly, this is our last post til next year…because… ☹️

Tomorrow is 2019!!!!! Goodbye, 2018..you’ve been good..but we are hoping for a fish filled, SPECK-tabular 2019! 😂🤪

Happy New Years from Sweetwater & crew! Yesterday, Captain Jack took out his good friend Jonathon and his son! They had a great day, and they limited out on reds. Captain Jack says the amount of redfish in the marsh of Delacroix is crazy. Yesterday, the fog didn’t lift until around 2pm..which sucked! However, the fishing was still great. If you get an opportunity tomorrow, we did hear some speckled trout reports from the inside of Delacroix. On the Delacroix side of Bayou Terre aux Boeufs in Lake John, there are speckled trout. One group had 11 and another group had 33. The second group of 2 were fishing by Shell Lake. Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it is something. The group that had 33 trout said a few days prior they fished in Little Lake..and had 47 speckled trout. The water is beautiful, and it came up nicely. It is real clear, in most spots..clear enough to catch speckled trout. So, like we said…if you get an opportunity tomorrow, come on down..the water has cleared up and warmed up. I would try Fourhorse or Lake Amadee…now that the water has warmed and cleared up…it should be pretty good fishing. Come give it a try. Again, happy New Years! We wish you all the best in 2019, and we hope to see you here at Sweetwater Marina! Pictures are from yesterday.

12.22.18 Happy Holidays

First off, we would like to wish happy holidays to all of our great customers. Today, at Sweetwater, the action was pretty impressive with the redfish. Everybody caught reds today, which doesn’t surprise us. Most of the regulars caught tons of reds. The good news is tomorrow is going to be an absolutely beautiful day for fishing. It will probably be one of the prettiest, in a while. For everyone coming tomorrow, the water was low this morning…but it came up a foot, since..now, it may still be a foot below normal. Wish I had more to write about specks. However, we have 3 tanks full of beautiful, live shrimp. If you get a chance, make a quick trip! Take the kids out to catch some dinner to eat, while watching the Saints! By the way…With the water being low, Fourhorse was on fire (on the North bank). Most of the reports came from there today. We are sure there are reds biting, in all the same spots we have been posting. With the water coming up tomorrow, they should definitely bite. As we are writing this, Captain Jack just spotted a 6 point standing next to the road right before you get on the Twin Span…and he made me insert that into this post! However, we hope to see you guys before Santa comes and after! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all!!! Remember…Come see us at Sweetwater, the marina that loves their customers! ❤️🎅🏼🎄

12.20.18 Redfish action

The holiday season is here. With all the vacation time, come visit us here at Sweetwater for some fishing. The weather will be nice this weekend. Get out of the malls and get out on the water for some relaxation, before the big guy gets here (a.k.a santa).

Capt. Jack went fishing this week with his good
buddy Dennis. They had a great time catching their limit of Redfish, and countless amounts of reds were thrown back. The hot spots were Shrimp Lagoon, The Easter end
of Petite Lake, and Shell Lake. Redfish were everywhere. The interior waters of Delacroix are full of beautiful Redfish. If you can’t catch a Redfish, it’s because you don’t have your
pole in the water.

We’ve had some anglers come in with reports of decent amounts of trout last week. Captain Jack says, “When the water temperature rises, the wind is East,Southeast and the water is a little above normal, it seems the trout, that they
have on the inside, really start to bite.” The Mouth of Alligator Pass by Little Lake is another prime fishing spot for trout.

We are looking forward to seeing you here at Sweetwater Marina. We have plenty fresh, live, beautiful shrimp. The bait shop is open daily from 5 am till 5 pm. We have lodging available. Call Kelly to book a Charter with Capt. Jack.
504-342-2368 or for more information. Office hours are Monday-Friday from 9 am till 5 pm! Thanks in advance!

 12.12.18 Great Day!

Today turned out to be a great day at Sweetwater Marina! Especially for the guys who caught 78 trout and 1 bass. We also had anglers who brought in 67 sheep head and their 4 man limit of redfish.

Mr. Antoine, Antonio, Antonio Jr., Larry, and “The game warden” (not pictured) were proud of their 78 trout and 1 bass they caught around Four Horse and Lake Campo. They have been faithful customers since Sweetwater began.

Mr. Jim, Paul, Kelly, and Danny went to Stone Island today for their 67 Sheep head and 4 man limit redfish. They said it was a lot of fun and hard work, and they know they are going to feel it tomorrow but it was worth every cast.

Unfortunately the weather is not shaping up for good fishing tomorrow but it’s going to follow with a warm up and should be beautiful by next week!!

12.12.18 What are you thinking?

When looking at these picture. What is the first thing that comes to mind??

 

12.07.18 Update!!

Capt Jack’s charter with his dad (Big Jack) and Mr. Carl was very exciting. They caught their limit of redfish and a bass. The trio went to Shell Lake and Shrimp Lagoon for their catch of the day.

We had a few anglers come in with reports of trout in Alligator Pass, Little Lake and Bay Andrew. They said the diversion has ended and the water is clearer and saltier. This makes for great trout fishing here in Delacroix. So to answer your question, “Are the trout moving in???”….. That’s a definite YES!!

Fresh live shrimp available.

12.04.18 Capt. C.T. Williams

Don’t forget to look for Capt. Jack on The Bigfish Report tomorrow night on Fox 8

12.03.18 Challenging at first

Capt Jack’s charter with Mr. Pat Beck and friends was a bit challenging at first, with the strong winds this morning, meaning trout fishing wasn’t going to happen today. So they went on the Redfish hunt and that turned out to be a great success. They limited out and even threw back over 20 Redfish. In the end they brought in 22 Redfish, from around Shell Lake. They also caught 8 bass, 3 fresh water catfish, and a sheep head.

Tomorrow Capt. Jack will be fishing with Capt. CT Williams, which will air Thursday night on the “Fish and Game Report”.

11.30.18 It wasn’t easy

Capt Jack said it wasn’t easy but they had a great time on his charter today. Mr. Ron, James and Tony had to go searching, but they ended up in the same place as yesterday to bring in the catch of the day. Lake Amadee side of Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs. 15 trout, 20 Redfish, and 2 Bass were caught on the Delacroix side of Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs.

The catch of the day goes to the Georgia fellas who brought in a Redfish over 36 inches long!

We had a few regular customers share a few photos of their catch. We couldn’t resist showing you of all the different catches of the day.

11.24.18  First trip this winter with his dad

Today was captain Jacks first trip this winter with his dad and Chef Richie (our old food trailer cook). They went scouting for trout and ended up catching some really big ones! They found some clean water, and that’s where they found the big trout. Captain Jack caught the biggest trout he’s caught in 2 and a half years. It was 25.25 inches long. We have been hearing some great reports coming out of Fourhorse. There are a lot of reds and trout on the South shore of Fourhorse Lake. If I were going trout fishing, I would concentrate in Lake Robin and Lake Amadee. If I were going redfishing,I would go anywhere I want to go. They have been cleaning reds since 10am today. So..when you get a chance, come on down. The weather is looking beautiful for tomorrow. We have beautiful live shrimp. Nicole just picked up a load of shrimp. All that being said..we can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina.

11.23.18 Family Fishing

 

Capt. Jacks charter today,with Mr. Tom and guests, had an awesome time. Limiting out on redfish and a few bass.

We had 2 boats fish out of Lake Robin killing the trout, they almost limited out today.

Everyone we spoke to today had limited out on redfish in the Lake Amadee area and Lake Batola

Happy Thanksgiving from Capt. Jack, Sierra, Gracie, Kelly, Nicole, Tori, &
Tony @ Sweetwater Marina. We will be open tomorrow till 11 am. We will
have plenty Fresh Live Beautiful Shrimp. Come visit us at Sweetwater
Marina.

 

Capt. Jack had a lot of success with red fish on his charters yesterday & today. “Dr. George” (Capt. Jacks personal hook extractor) and guest caught 25 reds, in the Lake Batola area, then went trout fishing in Lake Amadee and got 26 trout. With the weather conditions today, they only wanted to fish for reds and they limited out.

Redfish are everywhere in the interior marshes of Delacroix. We’ve been hearing great reports of red fish in Grand Lake. Four Horse seems to be the place to fish on the south bank, for speckle trout mixed with a lot of nice red fish.

Over all the trout are showing up in Delacroix, but we are having color issues with dirty water in the great trout fishing areas. The water needs to clear up, it’s too fresh, and the dredging of the pipeline seems to be an issue also.

Weather is looking better, and the winds are laying down. It should be great fishing for the Thanksgiving holidays.

Come visit us at Sweetwater Marina.

We will have plenty Fresh Live Beautiful Shrimp.😉

11.17.18 Great Fishing

There was some great fishing today at the marina. Mostly all redfish. The trout reports haven’t been that great lately, however today they got a bit better. One group was fishing in Round Lake and caught 30. Lake Amadee and Lake Robin seem to be action packed. On Captain Jacks charter today, they caught their limit of reds..then, they caught a BUNCH more that they threw back. We don’t know how many were thrown back..it’s crazy how many reds there are. The water is clean in Lake Batola, and the redfish action is pretty high in that area. It is ashame that we aren’t catching the number of trout we normally catch this time of the year. That would be due to the Mardi Gras pass and all the fresh water coming through. We won’t get onto that subject again. We are expecting even better reports tomorrow..for trout. The weather will be great tomorrow, light winds, good temperature and the water has already warmed up a bit. If you are a trout fisherman, tomorrow is looking good. Also, they are definitely doing work in the Twin pipeline. The pipeline has floated up in several places in the pipeline canal, so they are dredging underneath the pipeline, resinking the pipeline and then putting mud on top of the pipeline. They are almost finished. They are almost all the way past Lake John. Once they get finished with that mess, the water should clear up beautifully. Then, you all can get back in your fav fishing spot here in Delacroix. If you are going trout fishing tomorrow, head towards Round Lake, Lake Amadee and Lake Robin..those waters seem to have a few more fish. As far as live shrimp, we ended up getting a delivery this morning. We still had a few people that didn’t get to get live shrimp. We are very sorry to those customers. Nicole is on her way to pick up a load! We will have plenty for tomorrow.

Once again, some great fishing down here in Delacroix! Captain Jack went out on a charter, again, today! He took out Mrs. Shannon & Mrs. Melinda. They had a blast reeling in the reds. They went fishing from spot to spot from around 8am till 11am. It took a bit for the fish to start biting. When they hit their third spot, the reds were on fire! However, Captain Jack told them some good advice…”it wasn’t the spot..it was just when the fish decided they were going to bite.” To prove himself and betting the two gals..they went back to their original spot, and the fish were biting! His theory proved correct. Obviously, we aren’t surprised. Captain Jack knows what he is doing, when it comes to fishing!

We’ve heard some crazy news today. A customer came in and said it looked like they were taking out the center portion of the Twin pipeline (dredging) with heavy equipment. He said the water was muddy all around there. We haven’t heard that from anyone else. Captain Jack has not been fishing that way, so we don’t know how true this is.

Captain Jack wants to say “what a shame..all this fresh water coming through the Mardi Gras pass. The river is 12.2 ft tall. It has been coming through all summer long and now all fall. It’s just destroying the saltwater estuary. It is destroying all fishing in Delacroix. The real sad thing is it is destroying trout populations! Not only trout..Crabbers are suffering, fisherman are suffering and shrimpers are suffering. Someone put an end to this! It’s so sad riding down Oak river..marsh that used to be 4-5 ft tall..now 1.5ft tall with little yellow flowers growing on vines(sure there is a name for it..that we don’t know) smothering the life out of our Marsh because of all this fresh water. This will only result in major coastal erosion problems in the very near future! We need to use the marsh land we have left to create new marsh…take sediment from the river, pumping it through pipelines up to the existing marsh that is left and rebuild from there…Instead of wiping what we have left now off the face of the earth..and then trying to create new land with sediment from the river from these new diversion projects..which will take years upon years..my children and yours will not see this land built..I guess I’m just venting. It’s just truly sad. It doesn’t matter what any of us say..the government is going to do what they want to do. It just sucks that us sportsman’s that enjoy our great outdoors and/or make a living off of it..just have to watch it go away so rapidly..it’s scary! I hate writing things like this. I just hope someone reads it that can do something about it and helps us out..we matter too!”

IMPORTANT-READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE:
We have some bad news for our customers. Our shrimp supplier skipped out on us today. That being said..we will have limited live shrimp tomorrow. We advise you to stop and pick some up on the way. We tried buying some shrimp from places around, and they all said they have limited live shrimp for themselves. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause some of our customers. We try our very best to have it all for you guys, but not everyone is 100 percent 100 percent of the time. We are still trying to get in contact with our shrimp man and hope to get some live shrimp sometime tomorrow. We do have SOME shrimp. We are going to try to be fair with everyone and spread the shrimp among our customers. When we run out, there is nothing we can do. We are very sorry.

One last tip:
As far as speckled trout, no large number can in today. I would advise you, if you are going trout fishing tomorrow, to try lake Amadee and Lake Robin areas.

Remember, can’t wait to see ya here at Sweetwater Marina!

Picture is from Captain Jacks charter today!

11.15.18 Phenomenal red fishing

Phenomenal red fishing today, despite the frigid cold 33 degree weather! Captain Jack went out this morning with his charter, and they caught their limit! Then, he went back out for Captain Chris with a different group of guys in a spur of the moment trip, and they caught their limit again! Both groups caught plenty of extras that they threw back! Tomorrow is looking like it’s going to be a great day for fishing. The winds are looking light..around 5-10 mph. If you are coming trout fishing, I would advise coming after 9am. The water will warm up a bit and clear up. So, the trout fishing should be great mid day. This weekend is looking awesome, as well. It’s supposed to be sunny, pretty and a lot warmer. The water chilled down with this last front and probably pushed trout deeper into the interior of Delacroix, which should make for some awesome fishing! If you get an opportunity to come, come on down! We will write another fishing report tomorrow, after Captain Jack gets back in from his charter! We have plenty of live shrimp for tomorrow and the weekend! Nicole is on her way to pick up a load, as we speak! Stay tuned for tomorrow nights report. We will update you on hotspots! Some hotspots for speckled trout, prior to the cold front, was Fourhorse Lake, Round Lake, Lake Campo, Potto Cabalo, Bay Shallow and heard some out of Lake John. They were catching LOTS of trout on the other side of Bayou Terre Aux Boeufs..Lake Amadee, Lake Robin..etc. all the areas mentioned should be good fishing tomorrow. See you tomorrow after 9am! Pictures are from Captain Jacks charters today!

11.09.18 Some Good News

Sorry about no report yesterday. We have some good news. A lot of speckled trout came in yesterday! Bad news is..they won’t be easy to catch tomorrow. It’s probably still worth the trip. Delacroix’s standards for winter fishing is about to happen soon! Tomorrow is the opening day, the big day, for duck season. We are looking forward to seeing all our duck hunters. We heard they’ve had a few ducks here and there. Put your cold weather gear on..and come get you some quackers or some scales! If you could find a place to tuck away out the wind, you’ll probably catch some nice specks or reds! We are going to get a load of live shrimp tonight; so, we will have plenty live bait for everyone tomorrow! See ya this weekend!

11.07.18 Opportunity for fishing!

Looks like tomorrow might be our best opportunity for fishing! If you’re into fishing, you better get down here tomorrow. You may have a small window of opportunity Friday morning to come, before the weather sets in. We got a whole load of beautiful live shrimp in today..ready to sell to you. You can get on some GREAT redfish action and some pretty good trout action. The trout action should be picking up soon enough. Some good reports are coming in from Lake Fausan. We heard some reports from Bakers Bay. Overall, the best spot seems to be Fourhorse. If you get an opportunity, come on down. Need you boat launched? We can handle that. Need a hand carrying your shrimp to the boat? We can lend a hand. Need your fish cleaned? We have the fastest & best service! Anything you need..we have. Live bait, ice, tackle, drinks, snacks, fuel (no ethanol), prime lodging, charters, Sweetwater gear & more! If you haven’t been to our lodges in a while, come check us out! They have been repainted, cleaned out & decorated! We will have updated pictures coming soon! The pictures on Facebook and our website is not how our lodges look any longer! Come see them in person and book a room! We would love to have you! While you are here, book a trip with Captain Jack..let Captain Jack handle it all..he’s amazing for those that don’t know him!

10.05.18 Starting October off right!!!

We had a great week here at Sweetwater Marina!!

The redfish are practically jumping in the boats, and they are huge. If you aint catchin’em, its cause you’re not @ Sweetwater Marina.

The places to catch this week have been Four Horse Lake & Lake Campo. All the pics & videos I have been posting this week prove that all you need to do is launch the boat.

Zac Reyna took a break from LSU Vet School to do some Kayak fishing with his parents and little cousins hat came from Arkansas. They love coming to Sweetwater Marina, and they said the trip was a success.

 

The weather has been beautiful just like the fresh,live shrimp we have here at Sweetwater Marina.

09.27.18 New at Sweetwater Marina The Strikinator Shallow Popper cork

This weekend doesn’t look bad, as we have a few things going for us!

Overcast weather is a plus, keeping the water temps cool (even though rain could be

a possibility, check your local forecast).

But we also have a good tide range, strengthening through the weekend and, depending

09.21.18 “Wild” weekend

Capt Jack had a charter today with Mr Jerry and his son in law. They ended up with 35 speckle trout, 7 Redfish and 7 sheep-head.

We went out to the rigs,on the outside. The water at the wreck is good clean trout water.

Good news is the trout are starting to show up in the interior of Delacroix .

09.14.18 Redfish are begging

Capt.Jack said come on down to Sweetwater Marina . The Redfish are practically begging to be caught. They are so prevalent and abundant, it’s unbelievable. He did charters Thursday and Friday and was blown away at the abundance of Redfish. Most of the fish came 12 foot off the bank by Oak River

Lots of the anglers that came to the Marina with Redfish said they were stupid (meaning everywhere)

Good news on speckle trout. We had a few more anglers come in with at least 30 speckle trout . The speckle trout are starting to come in. More report of trout are being reported on the inside .

The good areas to catch speckle trout and white trout , are by Bay La Fourche ,Lake Fausan , Lake Amadeus, Lake Robin and also Lake Calebasse

08.18.18  Chance of Fishing, in the weather forecast  🙂

Believe it or not, today was a pretty busy day down at Sweetwater! Even though the weather was right offshore (where everyone wanted to fish) today, a few boats still ventured out. Some went as far as Breton Island and had pretty good success. Yesterday, a group of three that went to Breton Island had 60 trout. A couple guys went out to Stone Island; they caught 17 trout, but the weather caught them just as the fish were really starting to bite. They got nervous and came back to the dock. They were able to fish about 45 minutes, and that was a wrap. We had some reports from Bay Gardine from some guys that decided they couldn’t make it out to Stone Island. They caught a limit of reds and 6 speckled trout, before the weather set in on them. They said that they were on a decent trout bite, until the wind got strong. When that happened, the trout went away. It looks like the rain forecast is calling for less of a chance of rain for tomorrow than we had today. If you get a chance to come, it is worth coming. The fishing has gotten better…especially the trout fishing. You can’t expect to catch the trout with thunderstorms and rough weather. We hope to see you tomorrow! As we are writing this report, Captain Jack, baby Gracie & I, Sierra, are heading to pick up the live bait for all of our wonderful customers tomorrow. Don’t let these beautiful live shrimp go to waste! Come get a bucket full and go have some fishing fun!

08.17.18 Fishing tips for this weekend

Hey, we still here at Sweetwater Marina. There isn’t much going on right now, with the back to school season. There is some good news, we have had over 10 boats a day with decent amounts of Speckle Trout. We had an angler come in from Black Bay with 72 Trout, and other fisherman say Black Bay is the place to be for Specks. Over all 72 Trout sound pretty good to me.

As far as Red Fish go, stay on the inside, and fish close to the banks, Four Horse Lake & Fish a few few from grass mats @ Skippy Lake are some red fish areas to go to this weekend (Yes, that a lil tip for ya and free lining is still the trick to catch fish.) The tide range looks good for this weekend, so come fishing.

08.13.18 – Big Fish Report FOX 8 News

Click link to see video clip: Fox News Video

08.08.18

Capt Jack went fishing yesterday with Capt CT Williams of Fox 8, they had a great trip, caught a bunch of beautiful trout, a lot of the fish were caught on live shrimp some on plastic, but the tick of the day was free lining your live shrimp, they were using trouble hooks tied to the end, fluorocarbon leader a very small split shot above the trouble hook about 8 inches, and the fluorocarbon leader was about 2 ft in length. (for those who don’t know what free lining means…. its not using weights or popping a cork, so the shrimp swims more naturally to the bottom) .

The best news of the day, is that angles went out to Stone Island and the catch speckle trout, 1.5 to 3 lb trout. A little past Stone Island had some good action too. (and this is for the caller who called Kelly yesterday inquiring about Stone Island. Fishing is good (not the best) but definitely worth going out there for.

Like Capt Jack said, the conditions aren’t the best, but its a lot better and the water is a lot saltier and cleaner and getting better every day.

We do have plenty of beautiful live shrimp. Tomorrow if you are interested in catching fish..come on down! If you get an itch to catch some fish…we can’t wait to see you here at Sweetwater. If you can’t back your boat in, or don’t want to, we will do it. If you want a ride to and from your vehicle, we can do that. If you want a boat shed, we can provide you with one. If you want tackle, ice, snacks, we have it all! Come on down to Sweetwater..the Marina that loves their customers…and has it all to offer them!

01/04/2016 Fishing Report

January 2016 by CaptainJack

We launched about 20 boats today at Sweetwater Marina on Delacroix Island and from what Tony said it seemed like a lot of those folks came back with nice numbers on the Speckled Trout. Live shrimp or Matrix Shad on the bottom are the winning combo right now. As for where, off of Oak River between Pencil Pipeline and Orange Bayou seemed to be the spot today. We would also like to start the year off by mentioning again what a great deal SEATOW is. 504-301-4545. Breaking down or getting stuck is never convenient, but having SEATOW makes it less of an inconvenience. But more than that, especially with this cold weather, it’s a safety thing. It’s good piece of mind to know that someone will be there to get you with out too long of a wait. They are familiar with the area and they have all the equipment that might be needed to get you back home Safe. So come on down to see us and catch some fish at Sweetwater Marina on Delacroix Island, and while you are here ask to check out our lodging. It’s the best deal in Delacrolix – sleeps 6, free launch, kitchenette, cable, wifi. BBQ pit – all for just $159 a night. Just wake up and fish. Whatever you need to make your fishing trip a success, we probably have it in our baitshop, including maps and helpful tips from Mr. Ronnie and Tony and pick up a Sweetwater sweatshirt too keep you warm. Anything we can do to help make your trip fun, successful and safe – just ask. We will have plenty of live shrimp and we would love to see you, so come on down to Sweetwater, the marina that loves their customers. And remember we are the second launch.

Today the fishing was a good bit better than yesterday. Plenty of Specked Trout came in today out of Oak River, caught by anglers fishing on the bottom with live shrimp and Matrix Shad. For tomorrow it’s supposed to be sunnier and warmer, so the fishing should be even better than today. And for anyone interested in catching some Redfish – one of our customer’s who is staying with us in our lodging at Sweetwater Marina has done really well for the last few days catching over 25 Reds a day using only artificial bait. They are visiting us from Florida and said they can’t believe how great the Redfishing is here.

December 2015 by CaptainJack

Capt. Jack went on his first hunt of the year this morning and unfortunately it wasn’t as good as his first day back fishing was on Tuesday. Thanks to Jeff and Beau, the richest guys on Delacroix Island, for taking him. They shot at more ducks than they got (especially Jack), but a fun day hunting with good friends is a great way to end 2015. 2015 has been a great year at Sweetwater Marina and that is in no small part because of our amazing customers. It was a difficult year at times, but thanks to all of you and our amazing staff at Sweetwater Marina we came through it with flying colors and can’t wait for 2016. Hopefully for 2016 the El Niño pattern will lighten up so we can get back in on some of that Speckled Trout fishing that the marshes of Delacroix Island are so well known for. The Trout are here, we just need the weather to cooperate a little. HAPPY NEW YEAR and we hope to see you soon. And while you are here ask to check out our lodging. It’s the best deal in Delacrolix – sleeps 6, free launch, kitchenette, cable, wifi. BBQ pit – all for just $159 a night. Just wake up and fish.

12/15/2015 Fishing Report

December 2015 by CaptainJack

Today Capt.Jack had the pleasure of fishing with his great friends Dr. Jimmy Heintz, his son Dr. Jonathan Heintz, his daughter and Dr. Amy, and on a scale from 1 – 10 today was about a 5. It was Capt. Jack’s first time fishing since his surgery 3 weeks ago and he couldn’t have asked for a better group to share it with. They set out from Sweetwater Marina at about 8:15 and made it back by around 2:15 with 80 Specks and 2 Fresh Water Cats. They moved around a lot, catching the first 60 Trout scattered all over and on the way back in they spotted a bunch of boats in Little Lake and stopped and caught about 20 2lb plus Trout in 30 minutes. Most of the fish were caught on live shrimp and matrix shad about 2 1/2 feet under a popping cork. The water wasn’t too good today and that’s probably why they had to move around so much. Timage imagehe weather isn’t looking too great for the next couple of days, but if it isn’t too windy and there is no lightening you should give it a shot. And while you are here ask to check out our lodging. It’s the best deal in Delacrolix – sleeps 6, free launch, kitchenette, cable, wifi. BBQ pit – all for just $159 a night. Just wake up and fish.

12/14/2015 Fishing Report

December 2015 by CaptainJack

The last couple of weeks have been just unbelievable and we are happy to report that there is no end in sight to this amazing streak of fishing. Today overall was a little slower than normal for the last two weeks, but that just means lots of 1/2 limits as opposed to limits. Out of 28 groups launched, 2 groups had limits. Most reported having a mixed bag of Trout, Reds and Black Drum with quit a few reporting half limits. The problem today seemed to be cloudy water because of the wind yesterday. But for tomorrow the forecast looks great for fishing. Light wind, no rain and mild temps. After the rain passes through Wednesday and Thursday some cooler weather should be on the way and that should make for another unbelievable weekend. So start planning . your week end trip now.

12/09/2015 Fishing Report

December 2015 by CaptainJack

Believe it or not, from what we heard today the fishing was Spectacular again today on Delacroix Island. The reports were almost the same today as yesterday and the day before. The trout are every where scattered throughout the Delacroix marshes. Standout spots again are Oak River, Pointe Fienne and Skippy Lake. And live shrimp under a popping cork is the bait to use. We aren’t saying you can’t catch any fish on plastic, but live shrimp really is the best bait to be using. Hopefully Capt. Jack will be out of the hospital in the next couple days and back at Sweetwater by sometime next couple of weeks. But until then we will keep checking in with our great Captains, our staff and some of our regulars to keep bringing you reports from Sweetwater Marina.
