I love your videos. I learn a lot even though I’ve been fishing since I was 3 and now I’m 56. Fabulous video. Mandatory Marsh Man Masson.

Heck yeah C-Mack laying down the info. A lot of people don’t understand what causes all of the good and bad in that area.

Great video! Please keep 'em coming!

Enjoyed the video. I always enjoy fishing down there 👍

Todd what a day on the water. Great fishing great video. Really enjoyed it

Thoroughly enjoyed Cmac's dissertation about the marsh's evolution and ecology. Thanks!!!

Thanks for all the info !

Glad to see the big trout release. You were having fun.

Nice video!!

Love that purple and chrome Lew’s reel setup! Went to Puglia’s the other day and got some of those springR worms, thanks to you lol

By far one of my favorite videos. About the 5th time I’ve watched it

Funny, I thought that appeared a little over $20. Excellent video!

Great episode

Man I love ur video. Get me fired up when the wife let me go fishing. Lol

Preach it C Mac

14:50, Wow, that's nice for a marsh bass.

Whaddup Mr.Masson!

4:58.... Angels Singing. OMG had a girl friend. that's how I felt when she talked. God I miss her

Because of this video im giving bait casters another try cause of your lefty reels!

Is there decent fishing within kayak range (3-4 miles) from the launch down there or do you have to run out a long ways?

@MarshManMasson

If your range is four miles, you should definitely be able to find some fish. I wouldn't recommend looking until you're at least two miles out, however. Good luck!

What rig did you use this day?

Like the new bait cast setup you were using in this video and I’m thinking about revamping my rod and reel arsenal this spring so I looked up what your new set up costs 🤭😒 Lol, any recommendations on bait casting and spinning setups for around the $170 - $200 range?

Yall make it look easey.

I just have one question Todd. Can you drop me a pin where y’all found that clean water? 😂 did y’all go north Or south from beshels?

Heres a challenge idea. Buy one of those $40 Shakespeare inshore catch more fish combo packs per person, and use only whats in the pack. See who catches more fish. If you want to add, say, $50 including tax total for any tack on tackle, that could make sense. But I'd be really curious to see how yall did with one of those alone. www.academy.com/shop/pdp/shakespeare-catch-more-fish-inshore-7-ft-m-spinning-rod-and-reel-combo

I’m one of the ones that you not going to convince me Mardi Gras pass is a good thing. I just know how good the fishing was in point a la hache before the break in the levee.

I could name a bunch of areas that have seen profound fisheries declines due to unabated marsh loss, and there's not a crevasse or diversion for miles around. Fishing at Pointe a la Hache is a lot different than it used to be, but at least it's brimming with life. Those other areas are vast wastelands. Thanks for the feedback. This is obviously a critical topic for our coast.

Marsh Man Masson I see it’s not going to do me any good complaining about it. No doubt it helps bass and redfish but let’s face it we can catch all we want in the Slidell area. I just can’t drive down there to fish for bass and reds. But anyway good talking to you about it we will be in Delacroix in the morning looking for Speckled trout.

Did I hear C-Mach correctly, did the River punch through the levee, Mardi Gras? I see the benefits of the water dumping into the areas. People don’t realize that without any freshwater infiltration to the area, the vegetation will continue to erode away, the influxes of the saltwater just keeps killing off the root systems ergo lost of soil attached to the rest of the dominoes. It would be equivalent to try to grow your lawn using saltwater, it’ll just die off continuously then the soil will wash away, it’s the same principle in the marshes. Yes, the closeness and ease of making a living off oysters and shrimp year round in the area has been effected, but that was only due to the design of the diverting the natural flow of things to begin with, like the MRGO and levee systems that were introduced decades ago. We are losing too much marsh land on an annual basis and by the time the 2 generations come along, there would be NO marsh left for anything to grow and prosper for them to enjoy the same fishery as we do today. If you look at the OLD photos of the areas before all the changes or right around the time the changes took place, you can see clearly in the photos that the marshes were full of wildlife and plenty of grasses and large trees. That’s why there are names like Oak River, Cedar Point, Stump Lagoon, Pointe Aux Chenes and so on, it was bc of the influx of the freshwater at the time and we still had a GREAT fishery with PLENTY of shrimp, oysters, clams, crabs and fish! You as a commercial fisherman just needed to travel a little to get to the areas that were productive for what you were catching in that season of the year! Looking back, Blacky’s was known for clams and Cane POLE fishing, can you imagine that, hooking big croakers, reds, black drum, speckled trout and catfish on cane poles and just slinging them into the boat! There were no ice chest back then either, you just knew what to do to keep things from spoiling before getting your catch back. I believe there was an old hotel out toward Shel Beech area and Grand Isle. I’m not totally sure of the history, but I do recall seeing the older photos when I was young and some of the stories that went along with them.

How far is this from Baker la
