Louisiana Fly Fishing Guide Service
The grasses are here and the water is beautiful. This time of year the fish are very active cruising banks, tailing and sometimes backing showing almost half their body. It’s a good time for all types of topwater action including Poppers, Topwater plugs, and even frogs. The variety of fish is also good with the possibility of [...]
The past few weeks have been anything but pleasant. Seems like our weather is just punishing us for having such a nice fall. Well, when you have guys that have traveled hundreds of miles to just have the opportunity to catch one of our big Bulls you have to try and make a day, no [...]
Here is a day back in December that although started cloudy we had calm wind and very happy fish. The fish were floating so high they had the tips of their tails breaking the surface. Both casters were very talented and hit most the shots we had. We actually became a little bored catching [...]
I had the pleasure of fishing with this motley crew during early December. It was composed of business men, guides, and even had a casting instructor in the group. Well with blue bird skies and relatively calm winds it was easy for these very experienced casters to just have a stickfest. In two days we caught more [...]
I’ve had the pleasure of having some women anglers on board that were willing to attempt some record breaking. We did it but come to find out you haven’t done anything until you document. Tejal and Kevin were the first group to attempt the record and although Kevin caught 2 that would of done it [...]
November was an absolutely incredible month as usual. We had both single big girls floating around in back bays and schools of males busting under birds on the outside edges. It’s crazy how much different these fish fight and look. The males under the birds don’t have the size of the females but they make up [...]
Here is some pictures from the first 2 weeks of November. Had one flat full of sharks so we decided to stick one of those too. Trying to do a little picture catch up.
Dennis and Jack come to fish. They are both very experienced fisherman and both fish hard. Right out the gate Jack hooks up with a nice 25 lb fish. After that we kinda had a slump with big fish. We were consistently sticking fish but none were over 15 lbs. Day 2 was better. The wind died [...]
These pictures cover about 5 or 6 days during mid to late October. We had a variety of fish with Mike catching a bunch of 18-24 lb fish and one that went very close to 30. Jason came in on a less then desirable day with windy and cloudy conditions. He made the most of the shots [...]
It’s not too often you have clients book for the first time and arrive just after a bad weather window and leave just before the next front. Jake and Samer nailed it! Not only was the weather great but the fish were thick. The first day we hit my usual spots and did well. I [...]
I’ve been fishing way too much to post recent pics but here are some pics from early to mid October. Also I had my sisters wedding which also hindered my posting.
I Had a great time with uncle Larry again. This time we had had bad weather but more time (one full day and about 4 hrs his last day). We made it happen. We caught a fair amount of 15-20 lbers on a 10 inch wide glide which was just ridiculous because it is a huge bait [...]
After putting a hurting to slot fish on spin gear and fly. (Im talking tripling up on just straight jigg heads) we decide to go out and look for big reds. We spot a huge group of birds working and found Bonitta, Spanish Mackeral and look down jacks tearing up bait in a school the [...]
After staying with Matt and Candace Kern in Rockport I told them they should come over and do one day Inshore fishing and we will do one day Offshore fishing. Well the Inshore fishing was less then great due to a front that pushed the fish down, we did manage to land this nice size [...]
I had the pleasure of traveling to Rockport Texas to Swan Point Landing Outfitters to give a presentation about Louisiana’s redfish fishery. I stayed and fished with Matt Kern, a client turned friend, who is not a guide but might as well be. With reports of slow fishing we did not have very high expectations I [...]
Tuesday – Thursday of last week were the 3 most ridiculous days i’ve EVER had. David Mangum, Greg Dini, and I went out to see what the fishing was like after the storm. David brought along all his camera gear so naturally I figured if there is this many cameras on board the trip was destine [...]
Recently we have had some Jacks coming in and crushing schools of mullet on the same flats we are catching monster bull reds. Although these creatures are fast moving and only give you a small window to get a shot on them if you put the fly in the right place and move it fast [...]
Had the pleasure of fishing Boman Lapp on the bow of my boat this day. He is an ex-guide who was very able to cast the 12 wt we were throwing. I knew with the perfect conditions and the ability of my caster we could pick and choose our fish(25+ lbers). We did just that. We landed 5 [...]
I had two days of fishing with Carlyle and with great weather the first day it wasn’t a problem getting to the big fish grounds and even sticking a few of them. Day two presented a challenge with overcast skies and varying winds from calm to 15+mph. We decided to stay close, mostly due to [...]
I had Mr Tadayoshi Sakurai on board for a stretch of 4 days. Although he knew little english he did bring a translation book that he gave to me after i tried to explain left, right, 11 o’clock, etc. So I looked up some directional words and went to work. The only words I focused on was left, [...]
Headed out on my own to get some footage of these beasts swimming around and maybe sticking one or two. The weather was on and the fish were there. Here are some stills that I thought came out pretty sweet.
Had the pleasure of fishing with John and Gary these two days and with decent weather and decent tides we made our way to the big fish grounds. With dirty water pushed into the gras spotting fish was hard, even with the ability to see color. Gary had a great first day catching four fish [...]
Although spring is not typically the big fish season we still have been able to target them. We have had great weather enabling us to run farther and fish each spot more thoroughly. Here is another addition to the Dirty Thirty club with Matt Scriven’s 31.5 lber.
Well the weather was perfect, the tarpon were there, but we just couldn’t make it happen. We did get this nice size bull shark to eat and also picked up a snook in the everglades on the way back. So it wasn’t a complete failure.
Popper season is here!!!! The water is warming and our fish are starting to look up. We landed 4 … [Read More...]
