How to find fish in unfamiliar marsh

  • Every angler has his secret honey holes, the places known only to him that offer a reasonable chance for success. Marsh Man Masson has those as well, but he's always on a quest to locate new ones. What he really LOVES to do is branch out from areas that are familiar into those that have never floated his boat.
    He did that at the end of last week. After conducting some map study at home, he went exploring in a section of marsh that isn't easy to get to and really doesn't receive a lot of pressure. The trip started slowly but quickly ramped up, with a variety of species coming over the gunwale.
    The trip was an unqualified success, and Marsh Man plans to hit the area again soon to branch out even farther, trying new techniques in addition to the ones that delivered for him on this trip.

      Zero fishing? Just put me in the straitjacket now! Thanks for watching. Hopefully you can get on the water -- somewhere -- soon.

    Nice work ! Nice reds ! There is Seatow and Boat U.S. insurance. Both are good . Boat U.S. seems to be working the Calcasieu Lake area. Seatow, to the east.

    Great video bro! Like your energy. You’re a natural fishing show personality. Keep the goo next time. They are actually great eating.

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 6 lety

      I kept one once many years ago, and we couldn't choke it down. How do you cook them? BTW, thanks for the kind words.

    • @micahlowbe9067
      @micahlowbe9067 Před 6 lety

      Marsh Man Masson fillet and fry up.

      Micah Lowbe Hey brother love your channel and subscribed going to Venice October 5th for fishing trip hoping you might share some thoughts. We will be fishing Yellow Cotton Bay Temps are supposed to be low 80s not sure about water temps no major fronts looks to be mostly sunny. We are not picky will be fishing for whatever we can catch love to get some reds and few trout. Where would you concentrate your time and at what times of the day. I really appreciate the advice.

  • @ricksauvage546
    @ricksauvage546 Před 6 lety

    Super cool video as always! Just curious as to the area you were fishing? Not looking for precise coordinates; just general area, like off ICW or Hopedale, etc... thanks again.

  • @allieandbo
    @allieandbo Před 5 lety

    Another great vid Todd! Quick question...what maps cards do you like for your Lowrance? Just purchased my first one...HDS12...and don't know which card(s) to get. Thanks man!

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 5 lety +1

      I use the Standard Mapping Louisiana One card

    • @allieandbo
      @allieandbo Před 5 lety

      Thanks for the quick reply man. Appreciate that. That's the card I'm leaning towards but I've heard some folks say you should overlay it with a Navionix. What do you think? Is that a necessity for South Louisiana marsh fishing?

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 5 lety +1

      I don't know a ton about the Navionix, but I've heard good things. I've been running with just my Louisiana One card for years, and haven't encountered any problems.

  • @jefflee6459
    @jefflee6459 Před 6 lety

    Todd how do you get Redfish tags? I have gone through La Creel three times' talked to the guy once still no tags. I used all my old tags in Jan. Asked for 25 new tags in Feb. Do you have a secret on how to get some

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 6 lety +1

      No secret. I just order them through taglouisiana.com. I haven't heard about them having fulfillment issues, but will look into it.

    • @jefflee6459
      @jefflee6459 Před 6 lety

      never mind he said he will put them in the mail today
      P.S.You are really putting out some good shows. luv the pool test

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 6 lety

      Thanks! I love the pool tests as well. Glad the tag thing worked out.

  • @houston_pmd
    @houston_pmd Před 5 lety

    when the fish is on, how do you know when theres too much drag or you need to loosen it?

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 5 lety

      Trial and error, I guess. You just learn how much force your line can withstand.

    nice crank bait ....post spawn sun fish (perch) .....?????

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 6 lety

      That's what it was imitating. Definitely did the trick.

    • @bellasworld7000
      @bellasworld7000 Před 6 lety

      Got one similar to for the same effect. South shore bass kill it March and April its funny how it falls off during the summer though. Love the vids brother keep it up.

    • @MarshManMasson
      @MarshManMasson  Před 6 lety

      Man, you're absolutely right. I can't buy a fish on a crankbait when it's warm.
