Fishing Reports by Captain Rory Rorison
Fun Saturday and Sunday on the Beach (11/18/2009)
[Shell Beach,LA] I had the pleasure of fishing with Omar and Keith from San Diego. Both have fished with me several times before. The weather was perfect, cool, clear and little wind. They were more interested in catching Reds, Drum, and Heads than Trout. They would rather something that fights back.

Windy day Friday at the Beach (11/01/2009)
[Shell Beach,LA] I had the pleasure of fishing with Chris Hermann, his dad, father in law, and brother in law. The water was high and so was the wind as we left Campo’s. We headed over behind Hopedale. Tried out a little different area not far from where we have been killing them. The bite was steady, but never fast and the Trout were nice sized.

Good day on the Beach today (10/07/2009)
[Shell Beach,LA] We had a light SW wind and a good falling tide. We started out in Lake Borgne and got on a couple good Trout bites working along the shore with live shrimp under a cork. There were plenty throwbacks mixed in at first. With a move to another section of the shore we got on some better Trout.

Breezy Friday on the Beach (4/04/2009)
[Shell Beach,LA] We did a lot of drifting fishing with Bayou Chubs under a cork. The Trout were nice sized, but hard to come by. The water may have been a little dirty for the Trout, but the Reds and Drum did not mind it.

Fun Friday on the Beach (10/14/2008)
[Shell Beach,LA] We hopped around to different areas using different techniques, but could not get them going. By this time the wind had laid down nicely so we made a run out to Black Bay. I was surprised to see decent looking water. Finally the corks started to go down and up to the surface would come a big mad Trout.

Fish kill Friday on the Beach (9/30/2008)
[Shell Beach,LA] We started off fishing is a bayou behind Hopedale with live shrimp on a Carolina rig and the Trout ate it up. The Trout were good sized and there were some White Trout mixed in along with some Drum and Heads. The trick was to keep the bait moving.

Finally back in action on the Beach (9/19/2008)
