Before fishing any new area, Todd Masson does map study at home. Here are some features he looks for to up his odds of catching speckled trout and redfish.
I'm glad I watched this video. From watching you we did good yesterday in lake hermitage in the marsh. Captain Clay said stay in the marsh .at this time of the year
I keep hearing about how I should look at online maps and pinpoint areas of where fishes would most likely ambush. I have not been very good at it even after repeated tries. I was watching your storied explanation here and was so excited as I FINALLY understood what happens with the points, depths, and tides. I realized that I got what was being explained as I looked at other areas on the the map (as you were teaching) to try to challenge myself to guess the "hot spots". I then heard you say in your video that the areas I had "guess picked" could possibly be productive. I was so happy with myself for understanding not only how to read the territory but also I was SO thrilled that someone (meaning you, Marshman) finally made this clear and simple enough for me to comprehend. Thank you for this video that shows how to use the tools around us available to catch more fish. I absolutely will use this before each time I go out. Thanks!
Todd, I love all the information and knowledge that you put in all of your videos, great job of this one as well! One question, what is your favorite set up, rod, reel and line for throwing jigs and paddle tails for trout and reds? I’m shopping for a new jig fishing out fit. Thanks
There are lots of great brands out there, but more times than not, I find myself fishing those from the Louisiana companies -- Matrix Shad, Egret and H&H. I like subtle colors in clean water and black or purple in water with some stain. Good luck!
Todd is a solid guy who will always be the standard of intelligence, class, and informative knowledge for Louisiana fishing.
One of the most informative fishing videos I’ve seen. Thank you!
In case y’all didn’t know, Todd has an awesome TH-cam channel called “Marsh Man Masson”
This is a great video! Todd is a great fishing "instructor". Can't get enough! Thanks Todd
Great video Todd.. map study is one of my most favorite things to do when I can't be out fishing...
