Watch as I fish the Grand Isle and Port Fourchon area for a great speckled trout bite.
Admittedly, it was a tough day, and things were going wrong from the get go: thunderstorms and higher than predicted winds made a delayed start then a rough ride across open water.
When I finally got to where I wanted to go, all I could find was dirty water and a single hardhead catfish!
Things continued to go wrong, but I didn't give up, eventually persisting to find a fun speckled trout bite in some of the most pristine "trout green" water I have ever fished in my life.
And yes, in case you missed it in the intro, this fishing trip was filmed before Hurricane Ida devastated the area.

Simply the best channel for inshore fishing. Another well rounded video. Remind of the way Hackney used to work through his progressions to find better fish
Thanks, Jared! I appreciate you!
please come back to posting.. i’ve been binge watching your videos for the last few days. it’s so rare to have someone so willing to teach and share their knowledge like you do. thank you for all the help
Hey Devin, the water at the rocks where the catch was good was just gorgeous!!! Tommy V says, if you’re in cloudy/dirty water just move east or west and USUALLY you can find some pretty clean water and he has been describing it from CLEAR to Trout green when he finds it!!!
Always pay attention to what’s around you!!

There's just something special about the way trout thump a big bait. Whether it's a rat-l-trap, mirrolure, corky, or a top, it's just a different experience than a paddle tail or something along those lines.
Good job finding that clean water. Looked like a great day on the water.
Yes it was!
Awesome trip, thanks for your tips and techniques! Love your videos
Try replacing the back hook with a willow blade. I've caught lots with doing this. Makes more flash.
My new favorite video , a youtuber from Grand Isle catches a lot of trout and predominantly uses live pogey. I always thought a silver or chrome Rat-L-Trap would work just haven't been able to get there to try, now I say theory proved.
Thanks for all the hard work love watching when I can't go fishing. Tight Lines
Pogey boats pillaging the sea… today in the Biloxi Marsh I was fishing birds diving on shrimp down current of a fleet of oyster boats. The water started to get dirty, but even worse was the steady stream of Red Bull cans and plastic water bottles. Tried to pick up what I could, but I’m sure there was plenty more where that came from. Would it kill these Jackwagons to not throw their litter overboard?
some killer trout action!
Well done Devin!
Thanks for watching
Great video. I need to come up to Louisiana and fish.
You should!
Awesome bro love it
Glad watching you..Dev can you check out myrtle Grove area?
Devin, both male and female Specs "croak", it's really true. And, a good call switching to that noisy chrome Rattle-Trap; that high-pitched rattling noise is like a dinner bell to the Specs. Tight Lines, dude !!!
Hey Kenny, thanks for watching.
Can you prove your statement? Surely you have a white paper or something you can link up.
Great video. Put bigger hooks on those rattle traps. I've lost numerous hybrid/white bass in the Mississippi river for the same reason.
My favorite speckled trout bait is chrome blue rattle trap
Been trout fishing many years never had to get in a big hurry to land a fish need to slow down and enjoy the fish fight. Ha
I just bought some traps earlier this year to try. Can’t wait until it cools off some more here in the Carolinas.
Good luck!
Enjoyed your video and how you show how and what water to fish. I use that same brand of cooler that you have in your boat.
Very cool(er)!
I hear you. Rather catch some good breath taking trout that many short slot ones.
I need to try some rattle traps for trout. Been using them for red fish. Need to try when I’m out deep.
Brother nice show
Those dolphins were probably eating right there.
Devin great vid what is your favorite rod power/action to fish a rattle trap on? Thanks
Devin, dolphins don't scare the fish away? I thought that could be the case so I'll end up moving to another location. Good to see that's not that case. Great video
Looks like Pass Fourchon where you found the trout.
You made the comment that you wished you had fished that spot earlier that morning cuz you could have crushed them. Maybe, but my experience in that spot is the water needs to be coming in and it looks like it was coming in when you found them because of that beautiful green water. You likely hit it at the right time!
Hope y'all are still OK !! 👍👍😁✌🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲Photo bomb 💣 by FLIPPER !!🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍😁
GREAT VIDEO CAPTAIN DEVIN 👏👍👍✌😁🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Nothing like getting on the hammer trout bite offshore
Persistence
Devin, I catch a lot of trout in Mississippi on plastics exclusively (or topwater). How do you think these Traps would work in our water?
Maybe, I dunno.
Why not tie one on and try it out? The worst that can happen is you don't get bit. :)
Thanks for watching, Dana.
Does the bigger one work better? I catch dinks on big baits often , just curious
Whatsup Captain Devin! Just a little persistence here, hope is pays off. Glad to see you getting out and about again, although i keep missing our trips. It's a damn shame something always goes wrong whenever you and i are supposed to get together and whack the crap out of the trout. Either way, great job, thank you for everything, and I'll see you soon? :P
Hardy har har. I've seen you hitting up Masson and LFPM.
@@LAFishBlog Persistence... Pays... Off...
Where did you launch from? My friend with a camp at Grand Isle says it’s all destroyed by Ida.
He filmed this prior. He didn't post it out of respect for what happened.
Loved this, Devin! You got me stoked to try those Rattletraps I've had in my box and never used. Sub'd your channel! - Dave from @releaseover20
Thanks for watching, it's an honor to have you here!
What kick scent bait are you using capt devin?
I like to use Gulp and for a spray anything anise.
Was this pre storm video?
Awesome vid man. I was just looking at new gopros today and its so hard to spend that money on a new one when all they do is lock up and overheat. So frustrating.
Mine don't. The trick is to use battery eliminators and/or use something to actually shade them. A piece of paper or cloth works in a pinch. I use flat ABS plastic that's mounted above the GoPro, but the only time it's needed is on days it's flat calm and sunny.
Otherwise the main source of heat is the battery trying to charge and decharge at the same time. Just pull the battery out of the GoPro and hook it up to a USB cord that's wired to the boat's house battery.
It's also worth noting that GoPro does an exchange program, where they give you $100 off a new model when you send in a comparable action cam, even if its not a GoPro. I used that to keep costs down.
However, with that said, the Hero 9 has been worth every penny. It's image stabilization is incredible, the color is good out of the box and being able to shoot in 5k is everything.
Combine that with a good power solution (boat's house battery) and a 400GB SD card and you've got a media machine.
@@LAFishBlog thats a good idea about the battery. I'll try it. All I know is my hero 5 never overheats. I hit record and it stays on till I hit stop. The hero 6 won't last an hour using the same resolution and frame rate.
I would think a man of your fishing caliber would be using a fish friendly net..???
I'm not a man. I identify as fish. Duh.
@@LAFishBlog well do your fish brothers and sisters a favor and get a small mesh rubber net andKeep them healthy! Duh..
@@twinfish2061 Well, I respectfully disagree with you. I have not seen any evidence to suggest a small mesh rubber net makes such a giant difference in fish mortality rates.
Chris Bush did a podcast with some Texas biologists that's a great listen to anyone wanting to learn more about catch and release, conservation, etc. that sheds a lot of light on what causes fish mortality.
I understand it *could* make a difference, but so would avoiding boat flips and a bunch of other stuff. In fact, quitting fishing altogether would probably make a difference, too.
I'm sure my fish brothers and sisters would appreciate not getting a hook in the face.
But, I'm not quitting fishing.
And I'm not getting a different net.
I identify as a sociopathic fish.
Thanks.
About how many miles per gallon do you get in your boat?
I'm not sure, maybe 4 or 5. Depends on a lot of factors, I guess.
@@LAFishBlog I have a bait similar to you. 20’ alum boat with 150 pro xs. 24 gallon tank I believe i can run probably 50 miles roughly and burn 1/4-3/8 of a tank. Just was trying to see if that was normal. I’ve asked around on fb but you get all different responses. Look me up on fb under my name. Check out some of my fish pics
I see the 2 thumbs down guys have made a friend!
Can't please everyone. I'd love to know what was so awful about the video that they'd give it a thumbs down so I can make my content better.
Honestly, there really aren't too many other creators in this niche that put as much effort into their video as I do, so I have no idea what their problem is. lol F 'em.
How do you tell the difference from a male and female trout?
They drum. They have muscles that develop that make their swim bladder vibrate to attract females when spawning.
nailed it
Man I hate these people that catch fish and then throw them back. Hey dude how about giving them to some one who wants to eat them. Damn
lol
Sorry u don't care for Poggy boats but they provide income for over 500 families on the Gulf and East coasts...get over it!
And take away income from thousands more. Menhaden fishing is hot garbage. 👎🏻
