Fall Fishing Report: Outpost Mothership Redfish In Louisiana

As many of you know, the small, Louisiana bayous of Dulac and Dularge were only lightly impacted by Hurricane Laura. Aside from some minor flooding, there was no wind damage and these natural occurrences are often beneficial to the fishery. We were able to get back in the marsh and fishing the last couple of days was as good as ever. The storm and heavy rains caused the water temperature to drop 10 degrees in some areas. This temperature change was much needed. We saw lots of cruising bulls and upper slot reds in brackish waters of the upper marsh. This water stays very stable and the fish thrive up there. 

We are looking forward to a solid fall and winter season on the Outpost Mothership. In the meantime, with the calmer winds, longer sunlight hours, and dropping water temperatures, the big schools of bull redfish (“red-tide” – the good kind) will be consistent in the gulf waters along with giant jacks. The upper marsh will consistently fish well with classic singles and doubles. If you or anyone you know can make it to Louisiana during September, we have some open days for “day-trips” and can set up accommodations on land. September will provide great fishing. We look forward to showing you this special fishery and making some more memories aboard the Outpost.
