[dropcap]j[/dropcap]une is hands down the best time of the year to fish on the MS Gulf Coast. Look for insane numbers and sizes of trout in the Marsh, Barrier Islands and along the beaches. We will have most of our 8 boat fleet in the Louisiana Marsh. Early mornings, we will have big live shrimp, croakers, mullet and pogies rigged on Carolina rigs over oyster reefs. When the school trout stack up under the diving birds, we will be throwing Boat Monkey Corks over Matrix Vortex Shads to get big numbers of specks. Try not to drift into the middle of the flocks of diving gulls, rather fish the outsides, into the chaos.
When traveling in open water, look for anything floating (buoys, channel markers, debris) for big triple tail. If you see one, pitch the biggest live shrimp you have near it, and hang on.
The near shore reefs should be on fire all of June. Focus on the points and breaks where the water moves best. Fish the entire water column with corks, suspending baits or bottom rigs for trout, reds, drum and more!!!
June is a busy month on the water and at the boat launch. Please be courteous to your other boaters. Lend a hand when you can, chances are you will need help one day… As always, have fun and be safe.
