@@LAFishBlog I hope that the channel itself becomes a solid revenue stream for you as well, because as another user pointed out, it's absolutely top tier.

Great job on your cinematography, drone shots, and raised camera on your back deck. Very impressive. One of the best fishing channels anywhere! Looking forward to your next video.
The whole video was great. My favorite part was how you showed your misses. It makes us rookies feel a little better knowing that it's just a part of it.
Another great video! I was out there Sunday, with the rest of SE Louisiana. It took me a few minutes casting around the boat, up on the pilings, under the bridge, and away from the bridge before I found the bite! Once the bite was on, I put 5 nice trout in the boat, 2 big freshwater cats, lost a few more nice ones at the boat with 3 throwbacks in the mix. Then, the thunder and lightning I had been hearing from the west hit with the monsoon. Tried hiding under the Hwy 11 bridge and let it blow over, but the wind got so strong it pulled my anchor loose. I headed for the house with a VERY wet ass. Thankfully, it's only about a mile to my dock! I can't post a report to the groups b/c I'm in Fb jail until May 26th. LOL.
Went to Delacroix Saturday, the wind was blowing and the water was dirty in most places. We did poorly but like I told you before we do the same spots every time. At the dock everyone was complaining about the fresh water messing things up. They had a bass tournament which says a lot about the water down there. My brother in law finally said after all these years, we got to do things different. I tell him to watch you all the time but he is to smart for that. Please post videos so I can have some hope.
Hey Bart, thanks for commenting. Delacroix has had a freshwater influence since the 90s, when they built the diversion at Caernarvon at the request of the oyster industry. The fishing is good, but it has definitely changed. I have not been making as many UA-cam videos as before because I am working on overhauling Inshore Fishing 101, my flagship course. It sounds like your brother in law could learn a thing or two in it, but if his mind is closed then he'll never learn anything useful anyway. I thank you for your viewership and am happy to tell you that I recorded a new video yesterday and will get to processing the raw video today. Tight lines!
Man, man,man ……. Love these videos!!! You’ve got the most informative videos with the best cinematography by far. I like how many of your videos make it feel like , the viewer, is also a part of the fishing trip. Like getting gear ready and discussing tomorrow’s trip, then beginning the video at dawn with the first cast, then the thought process behind each move, showing the catches and the misses, talking fishing to the camera during the trip as if it were a buddy, then the conclusion with final thoughts. It’s a winning format. One question: why are the trestles such a draw as opposed to the other bridges? Maybe that’s not even the case but it seems as though everyone I talk to that fishes Lake Ponchartrain rarely mentions other bridges. Thanks
Great job Devin.. Love the production time that you put into your videos.. It makes them a pleasure to watch. The trestles are a bit of a reach with my flats skiff, but the techniques apply in a lot of other places in the marsh as well. I appreciate you sharing and explaining the process. Keep them coming!
i do have one of those gps trolling motors that i have to fumble around with remotes to use , no foot control option i checked. although when im fishing a cut or spot that anchor feature is just awesome
Great video man I sat down and thoroughly enjoyed this vid. Keep up the good work, coming from a born and raised Louisianan, offshore and inshore fisherman. GREAT JOB ! You've got yourself a new sub
I caught a limit today in big lake ,west side of LA. Using info from your videos and I’m using all daiwa reels. I’ve never fished the east side of the state but from the looks of it, it seems to be a better fishery there. Our limit is 15 trout here and we don’t have nearly the marsh. A lot of open water type fishing. That being said I can still take away info from your vids and apply it to my area. And I’m just a fan boy! Keep up the good work.
I stumbled upon your content, searching "fishing the LA marsh". I just boat a 22ft keywest and I'm gonna be targeting the marsh soon. Thanks for the content. Also I fish the Ms Gulfcoast and there is a trestle I fish a good bit. It connects from Bay St.Loius to Pass Christian. Anyways I've just started fishing it here lately using only artificial. Mostly matrix shad. I'm catching trout here and there, but my question is, how deep should I be fishing. Is there a certain depth they prefer during the summer? Since this trestle runs for several miles, I'm having a hard time figuring where to set up 😐
i use 55lb braided line so i can set the drag heavy , its very thin for that weight about equal to a 10lb mono line. and the snag is why i stayed using it, when i get one and cant free it i can pull hard enough to bend the hook out of it then use my plyers to fix the hook , i like that when im using a $10 Carolina rig and dont want to lose it
Nice trip,been grinding away biggest so far shade over 3 lbs try some Speck-Maulers like I have been tossing Lunker City Shakers 3.75 in in Jungle Jazz,have nailed some HUGE flounders with dem fine azz lures,trust me on dat proof in my pics!!!
Never hear that saltwater fishing before. It’s an old adage fly fishing but is just as true with a bait caster or any reel. It’s the only think actually free fishing and we all tend to under use it. Hook sets are truly free. Cheers Devin
Excellent video Devin! Love the longer format and drone footage! Your reaction to losing a fish at the boat is hysterical and mimicks me a bunch, except I throw in a few more F bombs! 🤣
What power and action rod would you suggest works best for trout fishing? All ive ever done is Redfish so alot of my gear is medium heavy. Wanting to get into more trout fishing using your courses. Absolutely love your videos and i always run to youtube when i see you posting a new one. By far my favorite channel. The filming is getting amazing with all the drone work. Kinda jealous and wish i could fish with you one day lol.
Hey Ryan, thank you for the kind words. You'll find the answer to your question (in detail) in this guide I wrote on my website: www.lafishblog.com/best-tackle-for-jigging-speckled-trout/ Tight lines!
@@LAFishBlog thank you for the reply! I actually started digging and stumbled across that article a little bit ago. Lesson learned search more lol. Once again amazing videos and maybe I’ll see ya on the water soon.
Hell of a video Devin! I enjoyed every minute of it, VERY informative, I wish I lived closer so I could fish the trestle more often. However can’t wait till June so I can put LAFB elite to good use in Hopedale
Recently went in a charter and used a drop shot which worked very well. I love my baitcaster tho and I noticed it seems you pull out more line to get to the bottom than other times. Would it be safe bet to pull out a decent amount each time to ensure getting to the bottom? I’m a newbie with the trestle
Yes, indeed. You'll know the jig hits the bottom when you see the slack give out. This guide explains in detail: www.lafishblog.com/lake-pontchartrain-bridges/ Thank you for watching!
I’m offended Devon!! I can only catch speckled trout on popping corks and live shrimp. Has to be sunny and 75 degrees as well! Has to be braid for sensitivity of course. And have to have 8 rods on the boats with all popping corks. Matching spinning combos. Oh and a 150k bay boat with 4 power poles.
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and I've always wondered what was the reason you used a counter to keep track of how many specks you catch if you don't keep them.
I throughly enjoy your videos, I can’t get out there right now tho. As far as kids go, how would you suggest kids fish the trout, particularly 6-8 year olds. Thanks for the videos!
Hi Devin. Your editing is really professional. Unless you have done editing you can't appreciate the work that goes into your vedios. The water at the trestles was great Friday. Fishing was OK but not super until I fished rock points Makes me wonder if the big trout have not arrived yet. Your thoughts.
I am of the opinion that they Trestles action is largely over and, any trout action that does heat up will be quickly pressured. The key to getting the Trestles when it's good is fishing it before people are talking about it. That's why I HATE when people ask on Facebook if "they should fish spot x" because they were "just wondering". It's a good way to miss a lot of good fishing. My advice: just go, keep reports, learn from them, adjust for the next fishing trip. I'm sure there are still some fish to be caught on the tracks, but if I were you, I'd be looking for where they're moving next. I've already done that, limited out yesterday and today on speckled trout, and nowhere near the Trestles (but fishing the same area). Check LAFB Inshore for the full report.
you should put you clicker on a lighter leash and attach it to your belt!! less time wasted and don’t have to worry about random clicks!! love the videos!
Tell me what tide ur looking for and how many hours before the peak tide do u start? Lastly what is cut off of wind mph that u are willing to fish the lake?
I covered this in the video. You are stuck fishing what tide you get. What's key is fishing what you're given. Where was I during an incoming tide? A falling tide? As for wind speed, it depends on the wind direction. If it's blowing 20mph from the north then guess which side of the lake won't be rough?
@@LAFishBlog thanks, caught one good sized flounder about the size the one you got but nothing else to keep , on the bottom with shrimp just junk catfish and nothing else on the jig, although i forgot my trolling motor remote and had to go back for it so i was very late on the water
Hey man, just curious as to why your are flipping fish into your boat and letting them flop everywhere if you're going to release them. They aren't big and that definitely hurts them right? I keep most of what I catch, but when I have to release something I try to treat it as gently as I can.
Are you just making stuff up based upon how you feel or do you have some kind of hard science you can link up? I get comments like yours every once in awhile and all I can say is that if you're that concerned about the fish, and really feel that releasing back into the water is somehow on par or worse than into the cooler, then my suggestion is that you just avoid fishing altogether. Or, you can learn the real science behind catch and release. Yes, jacking them in the face with a sharp steel hook and having them out of the water isn't exactly conducive to their health, but these fish are much hardier than you realize. If you haven't listened to Chris Bush's (Speckled Truth) podcast with Dr. Greg Stunz then you need to. Otherwise there's just no point to having a conversation here. Find it on Spotify. Let me be clear: I am not releasing fish to virtue signal my righteousness, I am releasing fish because this is something I do for a living and I firmly believe catch and release will make a better fishery here in Louisiana. There is always (and always will be) the "next step" in conservation, and what I mean by this is that there is always some detail you can add to make the catching process that much easier to the fish. Instead of boat flipping them you can gingerly pick them up. Then you can wear gloves. Then you can wear a face mask to avoid breathing on the damn thing. Then you can handle it in the shade so the sun doesn't get on it. Then you can give it tickets to a Dave Chappelle show before sending it off on its way after having harassed it with a fake meal. Actually, why not don scuba gear and jump in the water with the fish so it never has to leave the water in the first place?! Or, better yet, I will put out flyers underwater asking fish to volunteer for my next UA-cam video, so that way no fish are being hooked against their will. I think you get it. So where do you plan on drawing the line? This brings me back to my first sentence "then my suggestion is that you just avoid fishing altogether". My brand name is very clearly "Louisiana Fishing Blog". Not Texas Fishing Blog. Not "wherever the hell you're from fishing blog". And here in Louisiana the very first step in conservation is getting people to stop eating everything that swims. Geez, people here will kill a fish just because. Just getting these fish back in the water in the first place is a HUGE WIN. Hopefully you understand that. Thanks.
Tell you what I like about you captain Devon 65 fish in Louisiana all my life you call it like it is you don't b******* keep the law and the water you do everything right and I love it be careful out there take care preciate it
Great video. If you are going to release the fish you catch you should do everything you can not to damage the slime on their skin which can lead to sick fish. Boat carpet, gloved hands, towels all remove the slime. Don’t take them out of the water. Unhook them in the water with a de-hooker. It’s not that hard to do that. And if they get off so what. You are releasing them anyway.
Do you ever keep any fish? If not why don’t you? Me personally I keep fish every so often but not every time I go. I’m doing my part of not keeping fish if I do not need them. I keep 2 gallon bags of fish in my freezer at all times for my family.
Have you ever thought about fishing the area where the old 1-10 bridge used to be , pretty sure there plenty of the old bridge still laying down there ?
I got gas money and make awesome sandwiches! If you ever need a camera man.! New boat owner and don’t quite trust my boatmanship yet to take the boat out to the trestles. Thanks for the videos brother.
@@LAFishBlog- I am a master with the IPhone camera and take directions well. I make amazing boomerang videos. I have access to a new Samsung phone with 100x zoom to make them undersized trout look like keepers.

Cinematography is on point. But there’s a reason this guy misses so many fish. Jerk jigging on slack line. Looks like the easiest for m of speckled trout fishing that there is but he talks like he’s doing something special
Three weekend of fishing using the LAFB knowledge three weekends

The Trestles is an older structure that's been replaced at least once. There's a lot more cover in the water.

Do you always prefer FLUOR (thus no leader) vs braid on your bait-casters???

closest launch is the pointe marina, used to be called the dock

Instead of boat flipping them you can gingerly pick them up. Then you can wear gloves. Then you can wear a face mask to avoid breathing on the damn thing. Then you can handle it in the shade so the sun doesn't get on it. Then you can give it tickets to a Dave Chappelle show before sending it off on its way after having harassed it with a fake meal.
Actually, why not don scuba gear and jump in the water with the fish so it never has to leave the water in the first place?!
Or, better yet, I will put out flyers underwater asking fish to volunteer for my next UA-cam video, so that way no fish are being hooked against their will.
I think you get it.
So where do you plan on drawing the line?
This brings me back to my first sentence "then my suggestion is that you just avoid fishing altogether".
My brand name is very clearly "Louisiana Fishing Blog". Not Texas Fishing Blog. Not "wherever the hell you're from fishing blog".
And here in Louisiana the very first step in conservation is getting people to stop eating everything that swims.
Geez, people here will kill a fish just because.
Just getting these fish back in the water in the first place is a HUGE WIN.
Hopefully you understand that.
Thanks.
The fish was biting better 50' off the trestle on sunday even after the storm.

After reviewing the film. How many did you really catch?
26
@@LAFishBlog magic clicker.
Is trolling the trestles still a thing?
Yes, it absolutely is.
I don't think recreational fishing damages the speck population at all. Keep em if you can catch em!
I fished it for many years with my buddies I'm the only one left out the 4 of us yo
Damb bro! Since you asked what we think.
I think your setting the hook to hard. I let'em catch themselves, in fact i just pull, i never set the hook.
Great video. If you are going to release the fish you catch you should do everything you can not to damage the slime on their skin which can lead to sick fish. Boat carpet, gloved hands, towels all remove the slime. Don’t take them out of the water. Unhook them in the water with a de-hooker. It’s not that hard to do that. And if they get off so what. You are releasing them anyway.
None of that is true. This has been debunked multiple times. Look up the podcast episode Speckled Truth did with Texas marine biologists.
Do you ever keep any fish? If not why don’t you? Me personally I keep fish every so often but not every time I go. I’m doing my part of not keeping fish if I do not need them. I keep 2 gallon bags of fish in my freezer at all times for my family.
But great video. Love the content and keep up the great work
Yes, sometimes.
How many jig heads you lost making this video ?
Only a couple, actually.
Have you ever thought about fishing the area where the old 1-10 bridge used to be , pretty sure there plenty of the old bridge still laying down there ?
All I use is artificial
I got gas money and make awesome sandwiches! If you ever need a camera man.! New boat owner and don’t quite trust my boatmanship yet to take the boat out to the trestles. Thanks for the videos brother.
What kind of camera do you shoot?
@@LAFishBlog- I am a master with the IPhone camera and take directions well. I make amazing boomerang videos. I have access to a new Samsung phone with 100x zoom to make them undersized trout look like keepers.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha excellent answer
@@LAFishBlog I don't do a whole lot of talking but I just like to stay fishing all my life and I think Captain Devin is the best fishing man on UA-cam you don't f*** around ambrosia very honest man 65 years old like honest person my hat goes off to you keep up the good work be careful out there have a good life thanks again
@@dougpeterson6128 Thank you for the honest review, Doug!
Cinematography is on point. But there’s a reason this guy misses so many fish. Jerk jigging on slack line. Looks like the easiest for m of speckled trout fishing that there is but he talks like he’s doing something special
Well, if you think you can catch more fish you’re welcome to prove it with reports inside LAFB Inshore
You broke my heart when you through that flounder back. Have not be able to catch one for a couple of years. Shame on you.
Well, good thing it's out there for you to catch. Geezum 🙄
