Spring Redfish, Sheepshead, Trout, and Taking Kids Fishing

On this episode of the Louisiana Delta Fishing Report, host Andre’ Savoie covers spring fishing around Shell Beach with Capt. Rory Rorison of United Charters, then shifts into a special conversation with Ross Cantor about taking kids fishing and helping them build a real love for the outdoors. The episode highlights a strong sheepshead and redfish bite around Shell Beach, trout beginning to build toward an early summer pattern, and practical advice for making fishing fun, low-pressure, and memorable for young anglers.Capt. Rory reports that fishing out of Shell Beach has been good and getting better, though wind continues to be the biggest challenge. When conditions allow boats to reach Breton Sound and the rigs, the sheepshead and redfish bite has been outstanding, with big sheepshead stacked around structure and bull reds showing up around the rocks. Inside the marsh, slot redfish have remained steady, giving anglers a productive option when wind keeps them off the open water. He also says trout are starting to show up, and he expects the bite to ramp up as the area moves closer to a more stable summer pattern.The second half of the episode focuses on kids fishing, with Ross Cantor sharing lessons from fishing with his own children around Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Catherine, Venetian Isles, Shell Beach, and other Gulf Coast waters. Ross and Andre’ talk about why the goal with kids should be creating a good experience, not forcing a full-day grind or chasing a limit at all costs. They cover the value of short trips, flexible plans, snacks, patient captains, safe conditions, and letting kids enjoy everything around them, from bait wells and crab traps to dolphins, birds, dock fishing, and the simple excitement of being on the water.Sponsors:AFTCOHilton’s RealTime NavigatorSlipSki Solutions
