Lafitte, Louisiana - Saltwater Fishing Report
Gulf of Mexico
On Sept. 2nd I was in the Gulf of Mexico fishing along the shoreline when I spotted a school of Redfish feeding on the surface. They were just off the shoreline a few hundred yards feeding on pogies. We pulling up to the school and started catching them, We caught 30+ Bull Redfish that were all 36" to 45" long. We released all the Redfish to fight another day. These fish were moving into the deep passes to spawn. This is a awesome video. The action gets really good around 6:45 into the video. This is something you do not get to see everyday!
