Redfish and Sheephead Meat Hauls From Venice to Hopedale

On this episode of the Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, host Andre’ Savoie checks in on late-winter conditions, then talks with three local captains about where the best bites are right now and how to adjust around low water and fog.In Venice, Capt. Rich McCloskey of Blue Line Charter Service reports a phenomenal run of redfish and sheephead. Reds are showing up shallow on a spring-style pattern, and the sheephead are stacked on 10-foot ledges where you can jig straight down for fast action. Rich also stresses fog safety and running radar if you’re navigating the river on your own.Out of Lafitte, Capt. Christian of Bayou Obsession Charters explains how winter fronts create a day-to-day roller coaster, but the redfish action is still strong with sheephead in the mix and occasional trout when conditions line up. Lafitte’s protected ponds, pockets, and canals keep options open even when the weather shifts.From Hopedale, Capt. Jonathan Allen of Louisiana Fishing Guide Service breaks down extreme low-water tactics. Redfish often push shallow to warm up, while rigs and rocks offer steady sheephead action with bull reds and black drum mixed in. Fog can complicate runs, so timing and caution matter.Topics include: Louisiana winter fishing patterns, low-water strategy, Venice redfish and sheephead, Lafitte marsh fishing, Hopedale rigs and rocks, fog navigation, bull reds, black drum, and early trout trends.Sponsors:AFTCOHilton’s RealTime Navigator
