Catching REDFISH from a public road
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2021
- It’s the piscatorial equivalent of Mardi Gras. Whenever Jack Frost decides to leave his polar lair and vacation in the deep south, redfish stack up in deep-water canals and bayous all over the Louisiana coast.
One of those waterways runs between the coastal towns of Shell Beach and Hopedale, and roads line either side of the bayou, providing bank-bound anglers with the opportunity to catch their limits of redfish. It’s a festive atmosphere that’s reminiscent of Fat Tuesday, as happy anglers crowd the roads like revelers on the neutral ground during Rex.
Referred to locally as the redfish jubilee, this year’s event just so happened to occur on Mardi Gras day, and since most area parades were canceled due to covid lockdowns, anglers showed up in droves.
My son, Joel, his buddy Donny Steilberg and my buddy Dan McNeil were in that mix, holding our fishing rods with fingers that would hardly cooperate due to the 25-degree air. Every few casts, we had to dip our rod tips in the water to melt the ice that would form in the guides.
The fishing wasn’t quite as good as I’ve seen at previous jubilees, but we still pulled some reds up onto the bank of the bayou. As a land-based angler, you can’t really hope for much more than that. It’s always a festive, surreal experience.
Check out the video for all the details.

“Im swimpless. Fishing on credik”. Got me rolling!!!
Use to kill them years ago like that at Myrtle Grove when you use to be able to bank fish, the colder the better . It use to be packed tho but would always catch your limit. Was one of the hottest winter holes in Louisiana for bank fishing
Love the videos keep up the good work 🎣
I don't know if anyone reads your video descriptions as much as I do but I can say each video's description is just so well written. Keep it up!
The jubilee is where I first met you and Joel back in 03 or 04! My car was stuck and you pulled me out and told me Ron was your uncle! I appreciate you Marsh Man!😎
Who's Ron?
I meant Rob Masson
I plan to go next weeks. Thanks buddy.
Subbed
Team Okuma 🎣🤙
Cool shore bite!
The only good thing about cold weather is the Reds like to have their mini parades down the channels in celebration of Mardi Gras, lol.
Love catching the videos early
@@youngsaltyoutdoors1215 I'm, sorry. I figured Todd would like knowing that he has followers that enjoy watching his videos as soon as they come out. I wasn't aware that my statement of appreciation directed at the content creator would be so bothersome to others.
I was there for the last jubilee and we smashed them. That was a good one as we also went to MG and HJ during another freeze that year and done even better!
I have a rare Friday off and I am on my way to the area today! I hope I can get into them.
Good luck
Good luck. Let us know how it works out
@@MarshManMasson skunked! Did not see a single person out here catch a fish today. I guess it was too warm.
Man I wen to that exact spot, but got there at 1pm and there was to many people to even get my pole out there ☹️
Why no plastic?
I was out there yesterday. No luck whatsoever. Had multiple rods tightlined with shrimp, mullet, gulp crabs, and everything else i could throw at em. I know you told ya boy not to throw plastics, but what color matrix shad would you reccomend in that clarity of water if you would have thrown that?
I’m in north Texas it got down to -1 and -8 with the windchill. Have family down on the coast and we lost some huge trout like 24-28 inch range. Ready for the thaw
Brutal week for Texas on many levels.
Where s this place
i think the big question is was there a big fish kill this year? texas is going to be hit very hard.....we had it pretty bad in 2018. was it cold enough for long enough to have a repeat in southeast louisiana? what are you hearing/seeing out there?
The info will filter in as waters warm and more anglers venture out, but really, my concern is with delayed mortality. I suspect some fish will die over the next week or two as a result of the freeze. Speckled trout fishing could be pretty lean around here until next spring. If we have a good spawn this year, those fish will be recruited into the fishery next spring and summer, and fishing could be epic, similar to what happened in 1991 following the devastating kill of December 1989.
I live in Baton Rouge, could you tell me somewhere close that I might catch some sheepshead?
I was thre tuesday and today. Today was nuts!!
There*
Nuts bc of the crowd or the fish?
@@MarshManMasson Both lol, I went back Sunday too and it was still a pretty decent day. I caught one in the same spot as you and I went to the opening that leads directly into the canal. I caught em between 16-24 inches and hit my limit.
Caught one rat red right in front of you that day on salt n peppa overcast lure swimbait.. also caught my PB.. a 7 ft Shakespeare rod 😂
I saw you pull the rod in. You were on the north side of the bayou?
Sure was, pretty much directly across from you and your group. Definitely a grind that day, between the other anglers all over, the fast current and ice build up on my guides I was happy just to not get skunked like most!
@@MarshManMasson and idk if you caught it on video or not but I was laughing so hard when your boy walked down a bit and caught that line across the bayou and thought he had a GIANT 😂
Hey at least u didn't get stuck this time ha
lol somebody has a good memory
Any day fishing is a good day. How is the roadside fishing from Port Sulphur to Venice?
I’m curious about that also
@@captainchad8933 I took that ride to Venice and I did find Redfish. I did get my limit. Sizes ranged from (2) 17", an 18", (2) 20 inch. I released to 26+. Overall a good day
@@jessesmith5034 was that roadside or from
Boat?
@@captainchad8933 I was fishing roadside. I'm down there so much I know where the deeper spots are on a rising tide.
@@jessesmith5034 would you be able to direct me to the best roadside spots down their? Not really familiar with that area.
I like a palomar knot, less twist and turns
I must have just missed yall we had to leave early we landed 2 by 745 maybe 8 fish caught that we could see at that point and actually that was my daughter's phone she must have put it down and it got forgotten
Hey dude I live in Mandeville we have a small UA-cam channel me and my family we have a fish in Channel we are wondering if you can go check us out
This video is a good example of why texas closed their coast because fish pile up and it’s like shooting them in a barrel for that one group that was in a good spot. Do better and practice some conservative.
Similar to when speckled trout move to the coast to spawn in the spring, and anglers catch their limits casting to beaches or adjacent to wellheads. The fish are super vulnerable then, so we should close down fishing during the speckled trout spawn. Would that also be your argument? If not, why not?
@@MarshManMasson that’s the anglers preference but if I catch a nice breeder trout I release no matter the time of the year as I’ve seen you do as well to your bigger fish. ua-cam.com/video/n7qykMPt4V4/v-deo.html Just imagine what’s sitting on the bottom of our murkier bodied water Louisiana right now after the freeze
