My "go-to" site!

Great community with lots of great reports. It immediately became my go-to site because it was actually filled with reports and not guides plugging their sponsors.

Love Louisiana Fishing Blog!

This one particular time someone told me to check out Louisiana Fishing Blog. Boy that was probably the best tip I have ever gotten.

I have gained so much knowledge, took notes, got advice on the right rods and reels, tackle, how to find fish, etc.

Great site, Captain Devin

100-proof fishing knowledge, and it is continually updated and evolving to fit the needs of Louisiana inshore anglers.

what makes Louisiana fishing blog ™ so good?

I actually fish using a process honed over years of searching for and catching limits of speckled trout & redfish across Louisiana's coast. I've also focused on additional species such as largemouth bass, triple tail, black drum, sheepshead, flounder, spanish mackerel and more. This is a big deal, because most inshore anglers — even so-called "fishing guides" — just fish the same areas, visiting the same spots without ever really knowing why fish are there.

But I do.

I'm no "phone call captain"! I do not rely on fishing buddies to show me where specks and reds are biting. Instead, I focus on accurately judging the conditions to identify the best fishing spots and then use a process of elimination to zero in on the mother lode of biting fish. I've been doing this for years in places ranging from Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River to Grand Isle to Dularge and beyond!

No artificial intelligence is allowed on louisiana fishing blog!

The content you find here is hand-crafted by myself. I do not rely on artificial intelligence to do my writing because I have been writing about inshore fishing since 2012 and have posted fishing reports since the 1990s. I've taken a look at AI and it just can't do what I do. Yeah, it's a fun parlor trick, but I think my time on water and years of experience can't be matched by a machine designed by some computer nerd who's never held a fishing rod.

So, everything you see here is the real deal. My guides, videos and how-to's here on Louisiana Fishing Blog ™ are designed for one thing and one thing only: to convey my thoughts and ideas to you so you can use them on your next fishing trip. I'm not here to sell cheap crap online, farm linked content or do anything other than provide kickass inshore fishing content.

The best way to stay abreast of what's published here on Louisiana Fishing Blog ™ is to subscribe to my newsletter. When you do, you will receive about one email per week from me, sometimes more or sometimes less. Above all, I promise to keep your email safe. I never share my email list with third parties, allow it to be viewed by other humans or even allow it to be scanned by artificial intelligence. I take privacy very seriously!

But, if you're still not sure, then I do have alternatives to Louisiana Fishing Blog ™ that you will find when you visit my subscribe page and scroll down. You can use an email alias, bookmark my blog page or subscribe to my YouTube channel.

louisiana fishing blog has No Ads or other spammy BULLS**T

On this website you won't find ads, pop-ups or anything else that annoyingly ruins the experience of consuming content. In my opinion, it's rude to bait-and-switch folks with a headline they find interesting only to hit them with a pile of ads that have nothing to do with what they originally wanted to see.

So, you won't find any of that here. All you'll find is inshore fishing goodness!

Now, I do have a book and membership that I offer to support this website, but they're mine, very valuable and do not change the experience aboard Louisiana Fishing Blog ™.

Get my book: Boot State Specks

boot state specks louisiana fishing blog

You don't have to subscribe to Louisiana Fishing Blog ™ because I put everything I know about safely navigating Louisiana's coast and finding speckled trout & redfish in a 486-page book titled Boot State Specks. You can find it on Amazon and at Gus's Tackle in Slidell.

This way you don't have to fool with my newsletter, email alias or watching YouTube videos, but sit in peace and read comfortably through a deep and thoughtful foundation to successful inshore fishing. The book is available in print and as an e-book on Kindle. If you use Amazon Prime (and who doesn't?) then you'll be happy to learn that the book is free for Kindle users.

Tight lines, and thanks for visiting my website!
