Shell Beach specks smaller, but plentiful - Louisiana Sportsman
--> Like death and taxes, steady west winds have been pretty constant this summer — and fishing out of Shell Beach has been no exception. Jakamo Laboureur, with Jakamo South Fishing Adventures , said. “It’s been keeping us in close to (Lake) Eloi and Christmas Camp (Lake) and things more to the east, where we have some protected water. On a recent trip, Laboureur said he used almost 300 live shrimp from Campo’s to box 71 keeper trout. He’s fishing about 3 feet under a popping cork, he said. “There’s plenty of fish to be caught, but there’s a lot of throwbacks mixed in. ”. Stronger west winds have prevented him from venturing out to Breton Sound, he said. “If it was a light west wind, we could still fish the sound and try to find clean water,” he said. “Be sure to buy extra bait because you’ll be dealing with a lot of dinks and a lot of white trout. With four people in a boat, Laboureur said one person fishing a plastic shrimp imitation will make the live bait last longer. “They won’t catch as many, but if you have four people throwing plastic, you might pick up a few here and few there,” he said.
