Fishing Reports by Capt. Charles Damiens

Unreal Rain Fall Creating a Slow Down! - The local rivers are at flood stage, due to a massive rainfall late friday night. Local rivers are 3-4 feet out of their banks causing a lot of residential flooding. I'm blessed to be right at the edge of the flooding during these seasonal periods le more...

Mixed Bags, but Beautiful Weather! - You could not ask for better weather, in fact it has been down right beautiful. About the only complaint has been when there are dead calm conditions. No wind equals Gnats this time of year. And without some excellent bug spray, they can drive you of more...

March Lions and Lambs! - March has been living up to its usual unpredictability. One minute/day dead calm the next 20-30 mile per hour gale pounding anyone who was brave enough to challenge the Months temperament. But of late, it has been fairly calm and pleasant. Cool more...

Great March Days When The Wind Lays Down! - March continues to be great. This can be a very unpredictable time of year, and targeting specific species can be less than productive. But if you fish the day as it presents itself, and seek out the quarry that the weather patterns dictate, you can more...

Transition Continues. - Warm, rain, wind, then cold again. Transition times between seasons is tough. Nothing is in any one usual location, so you must fish for both winter and spring patterns. This can result in covering a lot of water and still striking out on your targ more...

Horn Islands, Pascagoula, Biloxi Bay, Bay St Louis & Heron Bay - Pre-Spring Pattern! Oh what a difference a week makes. Highs in the upper 60’s / lower 70’s and the Reds are on the flats. This early spring pattern has caused the reds to move into the shallows and shorelines during midday. Water temps have bee more...

Horn Islands, Pascagoula, Biloxi Bay, Bay St Louis & Heron Bay - Rainy and Cold! The recent heavy rains have been very welcome, for our area, but have had an affect on fishing. The Speckle Trout can be found, but they are still deep in the deepest pockets where turbidity does not affect the water clarity, and more...

Horn Islands, Pascagoula, Biloxi Bay, Bay St Louis & Heron Bay - 13” VS 14” Well the conversation of conservation is hot and heavy on the coast. A new law will very soon be passed making 13” Speckle Trout Legal. Conservationists and Biologists VS Commercial Interests. Politics won and those of us who see ours more...

Horn Islands, Pascagoula, Biloxi Bay, Bay St Louis & Heron Bay - Reds are in the canals! Targeting reds has been a challenge up until now. It is very predictable now with our current weather patterns. Pounding the banks is productive, but requires a lot of moving, covering a lot of water. Limiting out is n more...
