The best time to fish the Chandeleurs depends on who you ask.
Capt. Bobby Lewis said he prefers April through May and September through October.
“The weather is cooler, and though the conditions at that time of year can be iffy, the trout are often bigger,” he said.
Capt. Dennis Marshall said he likes the summer months best.
“June thru August are usually the easiest months to fish out here,” he said. “The winds and seas are usually calm, this year being an exception so far, and the trout and redfish are abundant. It’s not at all unusual for each boat to catch their limits each day during the summer months.
“And my next-favorite time is September thru November. We always get a great fall run of speckled trout and redfish action.”
