Saints Go Bowfishing, Swolefest Offshore Action, and Lafitte Trout Heat Up
On this week’s episode of the Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, host Andre’ Savoie covers early-summer fishing from Grand Isle and Hopedale to Lafitte and the Barataria Basin. The episode features Capt. Chris Faler of Southern Outdoor Bowfishing and Capt. Ryan Vincent of Reel Cajun Fishing, with reports on Swolefest offshore action, red snapper, vermilion snapper, Saints bowfishing, Lafitte trout, redfish, wind, and summer patterns.
Capt. Chris Faler breaks down his Grand Isle Swolefest trip, where offshore crews found vermilion snapper and red snapper around rigs, wellheads, pipeline crossings, and deeper structure. He also shares the story of helping host the New Orleans Saints for a Hopedale bowfishing trip, where players, coaches, and staff shot garfish, catfish, and a few redfish during a competitive night in the marsh.
Capt. Ryan Vincent gives the Lafitte and Barataria Basin report, where wind has made fishing tougher, but the trout bite is improving when boats can reach clean, moving water. He talks about finding trout around birds, bait, points, current lines, reefs, old wellhead shell pads, and deeper structure, while redfish and black drum are moving toward bigger bays, rock, cement walls, shorelines, and marsh edges.
