- Join LAFB Elite to discover how I find and catch speckled trout and redfish from scratch: www.lafbelite....
Targeting springtime speckled trout in Louisiana is difficult when all the well-known spots have tons of boats in them.
That's why I like to strike out on my own and find new fishing spots (using the knowledge inside Inshore Fishing 101) to get away from the crowds and catch quality speckled trout.
This video is a perfect example of that, because it shows that not every spot you pick out is going to produce.
But, if you don't give up, and keep trying when the conditions are good, you WILL hit paydirt and put together an awesome box of speckled trout!
Join my membership at LAFB Elite and I'll show you exactly how: www.lafbelite.com
This video is why I just joined LAFBELITE Paid Membership! Great job.
Thank you, Scott!

Seeing these trout are bringing back memories of the great fishing that me and my uncle used to have in Cloverly, Delta Farms and even lake Salvador. Unfortunately I've been living way up on the Northshore for 20 yrs and haven't spent much time in the marsh...closest I've been is lake rd in Lacombe a few times over the past 5 yrs. Keep up the great work
There's plenty of marsh on the Northshore, but the Rigolets isn't a far drive, either. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful specks. Nothing like it. Great to see some catch and release action down south. I live in Wyoming and release almost every fish I catch. But I keep quite a bit back home in La.
Really great to see the twitch action!
Really nice assortment or trout!
I can’t get off it and hope that’s how I catch trout for the rest of the year lol
Now those are SOME kinda nice speckled trout!!
I’d rather those than a bunch of 12 inchers
Dude, that’s some quality quality trout!
Thanks for watching!
I commented on one of your latest videos. I noticed how you said you bought them doubt the real and you're catching better-than-average trout. What I tell people, is that you're going to catch your best route on your log cast
Glad to see you the other day with a new video. Make more.
If you notice, the skunk trout was not caught in the mouth. I have noticed that when the bite is not on, the trout tend to push bait with thier face and as you see, get hooked under the mouth or in the gill plate. It's very interesting if you look at where all your hook sets are.
Or...she tried eating it and got hooked on the outside of the face.
There’s a good video on trout hits that shows they often bump or nudge a lure instead of hitting it open-mouthed which leads to missed hookups or foul-hooked fish.
My favorite video of yours to date, fun to watch. Great video, great fish, vibe was on point!
Dude, them sunglasses got you racooned pretty good. lol. That was an epic trip, a lot of pretty trout. I'm livin' vicariously through vids like this now. Always liked catching on the suspending baits better than anything else. Seemed like more fun that way. Thanks.
It's a permanent suntan that's been there for years. lol
Yeah, suspending bait bite is way more fun. Everyone should try it.
Really never can get specks to bite artificial, but a Carolina rig with a live or dead shrimp or a live or dead pogy or baitfish always seems to do the trick!
Them white poles are where they mark their oyster beds. Lol. Fish are always on them beds
I know that, and have a whole article on it: www.lafishblog.com/what-the-hell-is-that-rod-stick-pole-looking-thingamajig/
and
www.lafishblog.com/important-feature-oyster-reefs/
But that one is NOT used to mark an oyster bed.
It's marking something else.
Small, white poles sitting lone on the shoreline do not mark oyster beds, either.
Another great video Devin! I fish vicariously through you while at work. ;-) After many years of trout fishing, I've never really tried suspended baits. I tend to do the same thing over and over again. I think they call that "insanity" lol. I need to step up my game. What dictates you using suspended baits vs. Matrix Shad with lead head vs. popping corK?
Just tie one on and start throwing it anywhere you'd normally throw a cork.
Save the jig for deep water.
Just fish it a bunch. If you wait for a green light to do it you'll probably end up doing the same thing you've always done and never grow confident with it.
It's all mental gymnastics.
Thx for the reply Devin. I totally agree. I’m just gonna tie one on and go with it.
On a side note, have you seen any evidence of a fish kill post ice storm?
No, it didn't get cold enough
Yes yes yes I jus love these speckled trout fishing secessions!!! The corky🤩 I like the label on your twitch bait box lol.
I didn't write that. My girlfriend did when I wasn't looking. lol
Nice😂
Love seeing catch and release
I'm glad you do. Every now and then I keep fish to eat, but I'd rather watch them swim. They're too fun to only catch once!
Thanks for watching.
Nice video Devin. Good info as usual.
Thanks for watching!
I’d venture to say most of those community holers didn’t fill/limit their boxes. Some (live baiters)probably tapped out when the tide quit around 11:00hrs. What I’d like to ask is this: between trout #20 & 21 you had an object drift past or you drifted past it. It appeared to be a thick oil spot on the surface. If so could it be something of interest needing addressing? Hopefully not, but in our laissez-faire attitudes of some coastal dwellers one can never be quite sure. If you review the video and see or identify it would you give an opinion on it please? Thanks for the videos. They sure help to drive a point across to some of my etched in stone fishing buddies.
Which boat are you fishing out of, and have you had any problems using it in saltwater, and what trolling motor?
I fished that area yesterday with top water. Had some blow ups but did not catch. Will make me rethink how much time I give an area. They had a loon working by the rocks, bait fish and a few misses on top. Should have spent the time and changed tactics.
Great video as always.
Thanks for watching.
persistence pays off. I've never tried fishing with those types of baits. Once my boat gets running again 🙄 I'm definitely going to give that a try.
Hurry up and get that boat fixed! Good luck on the water.
Production Value 100%!!!
Thank you for watching
Devin have you had any trouble with your trailer in saltwater ? On the bass tracker the reason I want to know I have a 20 foot Nitro thinking of taking it saltwater just worried about the trailer how long will it last ?
You should be catching LOTS of speckled trout and redfish during the spring pattern! In my course Spring Fish Location you'll discover the key to locating biting fish so you catch everytime you launch the boat. Check out the curriculum here: bit.ly/3CfQKQc
Devin, just wanted to know what kind of boat is that man? I'm looking to sell both my boats, and get another one. You do a great job explaining what's goin on. Thanks brother!
Love the music
What kind of top water lures do you recommend for the trout
Glad I'm not the only one catching oysters 🤣🤣🤣
Sticks, oysters, anything I can snag before I stumble upon biting fish :/
Damn, that fish is well trained !
lol
Way to grind it out and stick to the plan! Never seen one of your vids before. I’ll subscribe for that effort.
Thanks, Fred. I appreciate that!
Hello LFB ,
I like the soft ( but not Too Soft Through it ) Rod U Were Using ,,, I like how da Softer Tip Helps Keep Da Bigger Trout Buttoned On : Is The Rod a Factory Product / Brand or a Custom Made Tool ? BTW : Great Job Persisting On Ur Own Until U Found Em ! Great Angling Brother ! 🐟🇺🇸✨ Tidal Flatz Outdoors
Hey thanks for watching! I talk more about that rod in this video: th-cam.com/video/VFYGMHWDAD4/w-d-xo.html
I finally found a baitcast reel that I love fishing with Lew’s team lite. It dual cast breaking system is butter.
It's not bad, but will wear down being friction-based. Give it time.
Plot twist, they were all the same fish 😂. That’s some quality specs. You love to see it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha, that'd be more amazing than catching them in the first place. The things I'd do for a trained pet speckled trout. I'd let him hit a hookless topwater over and over for treats.
Seeing you release all those fish restored my faith and Humanity
Then my work here is complete.
Thank you, that's a great compliment.
@@LAFishBlog it is excellent as is most all the video, good instruction, although I’m not sure why you shake the fish for the camera.
It's a mortal sin to throw back speckled trout! Lol
Ha ha ha ha, I understand what you’re saying.
But....
It’s the only way we can make the best of our fishery. The old mentality of grocery fishing is exactly that: old and outdated.
@@LAFishBlog you got that right. I primarily bass fish in the spring and seeing all these older folks keeping all the bass they catch is sickening
Louisiana Fishing Blog I’m 70 and I’ve been releasing bass for55 years it’s not the old mentality I was catch and release before yu was born
@@vaughnbiggs2142 Okay? lol Well, thanks for setting the example and not jumping to conclusions. lol
@@vaughnbiggs2142 not very many folks like you man. People wonder why our fisheries are getting harder while they got 10 freezers full of filets at home
Hammers!!! Awesome video as always man!
Thanks for the visit
@@LAFishBlog you’re welcome and thank you for the great content. I’ll definitely be more confident on my future trips out of Hopedale after binge watching everything on LAFB Elite and your videos on TH-cam.
New to the channel. Been loving the content, keep it up.
Awesome, thank you!
Its been like that lately on the westbank of the river also. Parking lot full during the week. Cant even find a parking spot on the weekends.
I hear you.
Awesome video! Nice quality trout! You use Fluro with jerk and twitch baits ?
Yes I do!
@@LAFishBlog just finished signing up For lafbelite!
@@billieh.9879 Thank you, Billy. I have a whole section on jerkbaits and fluorocarbon inside Inshore Fishing 201:
www.lafbelite.com/course/inshore-fishing-201/
Do you drift from the wall or to?
When was this video recorded...how recent???
Late February
What was the date of this day? I just bought the elite and Im seeing more updated trips posted to youtube. Just wondering because I can't see them on the paid-for elite. Are the planning of these more recent videos on youtube not posted?
Not every trip I go on is a fishing trip review, and this trip is not a Fishing Trip Review. However, what I used to plan this trip is laid bare in Inshore Fishing 101:
www.lafbelite.com/course/inshore-fishing-101/
All of the Fishing Trip Reviews are located at:
www.lafbelite.com/course-category/fishing-trips/
Thanks, Zac
The location where I caught those fish no longer holds those fish.
What matters is not fishing spots, but fishing conditions. Use what's inside Inshore Fishing 101, Sight Fishing Mastery School, the FTRs, etc. and you'll nail it.
What do you think are the best topwaters for reds and trout or both?
Man where did you pick up those gloves thanks
What rod are u using
Good deal! Way to stay with it.
Persistance tends to pay off. Thanks for watching!
Looks like Goheagens along the drop off????
Great vid!
Thanks for watching
Thanks again .
Always welcome
How come you don't do a catch clean and cook and how come I don't ever see you keep any redfish man they are some of the best eating fish in the water especially barbecue people say that's old school man that's the best of the best anyway man you doing your thing bro you know how to fish you know where to travel you know where reds are you got your game on what would be nice to see you cook cooking some up sometimes
Sweet specks, cuz.
Thanks, Chuck! I saw your report and wanted to thank you for posting it!
Trout are being caught with live croaker in Galveston Bay not my game. Some birds working mostly dinks. I need a fall trout fix. But that will start mid Sept.
I am *almost* ready for fall trout as well. Hopefully we have a good run!
Love the videos bro.
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching!
Still looking for my first Corky bite. Must be some skills with that.
Also a lot of moving and trying different spots. IIRC, I had fished something like a dozen to 15 different spots (not all portrayed in this video) before finding these fish. They're not there anymore, either. It just takes persistance.
I would like to go out with you and learn a whole day with you because we fish everything but never caught spec never even try
Devin what lb test fluorocarbon do you reccomend for trout and for redfish?
Anywhere from 10lb to 20lb. It just depends on what you're doing with it.
I cover this and more in detail inside LAFB Elite: www.lafbelite.com
Just wondering ,, what kind of electronics do you have on the front of your boat?
Great question.
There’s a Humminbird Helix 10 on the bow, Helix 12 at the console and a Lowrance Hook 5 at the console as well.
what are those lures you are using
Mirrodine 17MR and Corky Fat Boy. Great lures! Thanks for watching.
What bait are you using?
Mirrodines and a Corky Fat Boy
I have to say my brother this is one of the best speckled trout videos I've seen in a long time you're absolutely awesome keep up the good work unfortunately I'm down here in Houston near Baytown area all I've got is muddy Water Trinity Bay
Thanks, Rey! Glad you liked it and thank you for watching, but I have a question: is Matagorda and Corpus Christi too far a drive?
Matagorda is about a two and a half hour drive.
East Bay matagorda is good fishing I've paid quite a few fishing guides it gets pretty crowded.
We also have West Bay and East Bay here in Galveston but either I don't know how to catch fish or fishing isn't as good as I see in Louisiana I follow you all the time and also follow dockside TV you guys are freaking awesome
Devin, what length rod were you using with those jerk baits?
That's a 6'9" rod. I did a video on it for tomorrow's Tackle Tuesday, but I also detail the rod/reel combo I use for Mirrodines in this video: th-cam.com/video/4oyoMssO4II/w-d-xo.html
Awesome job as always. Do you mind telling me hour settings you use on your gopro 9 ? Thank ya.
Stop being so observant! LOL
Yes, sometimes I shoot in 5K, wide, 30fps. It is a nightmare to edit, so use proxy media.
Otherwise I am using 1080, 30fps, wide or linear.
You should play with the Time Warp and Time Lapse features, it's so much fun.
@@LAFishBlog thank you so much. Yeah I have watched some videos on how people set it up but couldn’t find one that is solely used for fishing
@@claudeyarborough7532 It really depends on the shot you want.
My establishing shot (from the back of the boat) was always a wide angle, but I've found linear looks better, just be sure to turn the camera if you're only facing in one direction.
5K on the Hero 9 doesn't allow for linear mode, but you can crop the hell out of it so it works anyway.
@@claudeyarborough7532 But for my chest cam it's only 1080 in wide, there really isn't anything to crop, and with linear you'd only see my hands.
You really need to test, test, test. Know exactly what that camera is gonna do before taking it out to film fishing.
@@LAFishBlog thanks bud
Hey bud.
Can you do a video review of your boat ?
Thank
I think that's a great video idea, but am curious as to why? There's tons of info out there about Trackers. They've been around for decades. There isn't anything I can put in a video that's not already out there. Just curious.
Its spring bro everybody is fishing
......and?
do you do any fishing on the ms gulf coast?
Not really. Not because I don't want to but because there's not that much time.
Believe it or not, the majority of the work required to run LAFB is NOT fishing, so when I do go I need to make the most of it.
With that said, on calm days I'l launch from Pass Christian to fish the East Biloxi Marsh and Breton Sound.
I'm a fan, but am I the only one that it sounds funny with the mono instead of braids?
Yes.
lol jk
Mono casts awesome, try it out sometime.
Thanks for watching.
What kind of gloves you have on ?
Those are Huk fishing gloves. Thanks for watching!
I fish the Grand Isle area, so I'm not familiar with the area you were in. It seems to be a flat next to a channel exit into a bay. Correct? Or what were the structure bottom conditions?
Just a random bank that sets up a lot like the beach on Grand Isle.
Why would you do catch and release, just for the next person to catch them and keep them? That’s why we have limits. Now I do believe the speck limit needs to be adjusted to 15 specks a person and size limit up to 15 inches as well. Charter fisherman are wiping out the speck population while the bow fisherman are doing the same with redfish. I wish bowfishing for reds would be illegal.
Or maybe the next person will catch and release as well?
And charters only account for something like 18% of all specks that are caught (in Louisiana).
So....no. It's not charters. It's the average inshore angler or...rather....the above-average ones.
Catch and release is something we all benefit from, and steak tastes better anyway.
Thanks for watching.
What boat is that?
A Tracker 195 TXW
What's your setup when you use your twitch baits?
@@michaelsummerford2360 Watch my last fishing video, it's detailed heavily in there: th-cam.com/video/4oyoMssO4II/w-d-xo.html
Say what you want to, but for me more times than not the trout will start acting up when the tide is dead low
eat them!!
Nah, steak tastes better. I really like prime rib.
Man come and fish hackberry
How can you tell the trouts sex? Great video
Males tend to croak, whereas females do not. It's how they locate each other to form drumming aggregations during their spawn.
Thanks! I’ve always wanted to know how people knew this when they caught a spec
So funny that you will not even say what general estuary you are in. I read back looking for that info and you said "on the water" that is a dick call bruh :)
I made it perfectly clear where I launched from in the morning: Bait, Inc. That's at Bayou Bievenue, MRGO and Lake Borgne, if you're too lazy to look.
All the guys I know who can actually fish never ask me where I'm fishing at.
Where was you at?
On the water, obviously :)
Yea just keep slamming them in the boat real gentle like complete fool
okely dokely
