We caught them a variety of ways. Cork, jighead, mirrolures.

It’s been really good on the beaches when weather allows. Having said that, the fish will only be active for a couple time slots during the day and mostly not feeding during the other times.


This site is really helpful and accurate. Pick the appropriate location and date, scroll to the bottom and it will give projected fish activity times. This isn’t always accurate but it is often spot on.

Went this last weekend, a friend stopped fishing and went in for lunch with a small box of fish. I stuck it out after seeing the fish activity times and the fish turned on like predicted. Finished catching our limit in about an hour.

Don’t always assume the fish will always feed in the morning and evenings. Sometimes it’s in the middle of the day.

Last 2 trips.

Any of them “should” be able to easily put you on the fish right now. The bite in Grand Isle has been on fire the last couple weeks. I made 2 separate trips recently and limited both times.

Wet brine and don’t overcook.

This guy has a great recipe. You can adjust the seasonings to your preference and keep the cook process the same.

As I said, it depends on the circumstances that you will be using it.

Mine has been awesome.

Yep, check the market and see what’s out there. Pretend you are looking to buy a similar boat and start searching. Price accordingly.

I never liked the telescoping nets. I don’t get the need for such a long net, maybe if you are in an offshore boat with really tall sides. Just get one with a solid handle. Redfish will come up and turn on their side when they are done and are usually easy to net right next to the boat.

Make sure to not lift the net parallel water with the whole weight of the fish pulling on the handle. Instead after netting the fish turn the handle vertical or perpendicular with the water and you shouldn’t snap any handles.

Frontier is plenty nice mid-tier production boat. It’s just the size and power difference that causes the price to be more for the Blackjacks. The frontier is 21 ft usually with a 150 sometimes with a 200. If they were to make a 24 ft Frontier it would be at the six figure mark well equipped with a bigger motor.

Just a few minutes of searching online. Plenty more on FB. The Frontier below would be a great get. Ranger will ride great but looks like it needs a little TLC, maybe just a bottom polish.
