Mike’s last day of Louisiana redfishing
January 13, 2012 by
My buddy Mike from the shop is packing up and moving to Denver. After fishing Louisiana marsh for years and never having a good opportunity on a trophy fish we decided to make it happen. After adjusting our presentation from smacking the fish to actually leading the fish we started getting true refusals on the [...]
Dec 30 -Jan 2

I fished these four days with two young men visiting from Japan. Since my clients spoke very little English, we had to rely on the basics of fishing to communicate. During this four day trip, my only interactions with these young men consisted of “cast here”,” reel fast”, “reel slow”, “jig” and “set the hook.” With [...]
Floating Bull Redfish in Louisiana
December 29, 2011 by
We had a great day this day with non stop shots at huge floating bull reds. The fish were so happy they were daisy chaining on the surface with their tails waving in the air. It was a sight to see. Even though some fish were being picky with the bite we had so many [...]
The Hords of Bull reds have arrived on the Oyster Flats
December 23, 2011 by
Finally had a good weather day with calm winds clear skies and warming temps. This was the switch that got the big fish moving. Everywhere we stopped there were big fish floating and hungry. We landed many fish but this was by far the most unique one.
Last days of Venice clean water

Here are some picks from the last successful trip I took out of Venice before the water rose and brought with it the chocolate milk. Partly cloudy with every bit of a 30 mph wind.

This has been a great fall so far. As the temperature drops and winter sets in the game changes but the results should stay the same.
12 yr Old With a Huge Redfish He Caught on the Fly
November 28, 2011 by
I had a great time fishing with the Greens. They were both great anglers but Daniel at the age of 12 is better then most adults I have seen. Daniel can not only see the fish, accurately cast at the fish (with distance), but also remembers to strip set on the take. Needless to say we had [...]
Sharks on the Fly
September 26, 2011 by
Had a friend come in town to buy my old boat and while he was down we decided to go look around Venice. We found clear water big redfish and sharks lots of sharks. The redfish were being a little difficult to get to bite so we went after the sharks. We got 3 to [...]

David and Kevin of baton rouge giving it their best, as was I , rough water, dirty water, 50% clouds, approaching front, 20mph ESE winds with gust, fish would not go out of their way for the fly’s and shots at VISIBLE fish where few. These guys fished hard! Had some shots at 30lb. jacks [...]
Venice in August
August 29, 2011 by
I fished the IFA redfish tour Louisiana division this weekend out of Grand Isle and finished 9th. It was a good finish overall and I can always be happy with a top ten finish. Although due to a miserable boat ride from Venice to Grand Isle then back to Venice then back to Grand Isle I [...]
7-24 Morning Madness
July 26, 2011 by
This Morning couldn’t of worked out better. No wind with good cloud cover made it easy to see fish moving and still kept it bearably hot. Seemed like from the time we got out there to the time we got chased in by a storm (7am-11am), It was non stop action. If we weren’t fighting a fish [...]
7-20 Warming Water
July 20, 2011 by
Another great morning with fish moving everywhere. They were not tailing like the weekend but they were floating just under the surface and with the low winds it was easy to spot the little flickers of a tail following a bronze hump in the water. We caught most our fish early and as the water warmed the bite [...]

Had a good day today with Jim Wagner and his son Henry. We found a good school of fish early and they were actually eating! After busting a school of fish Henry made quick work of getting on the board. Jim had to step it up with this 9.5lber. (slot fish) Tide – End of falling, [...]
Summer Slam
July 10, 2011 by
Fishing has been real consistant with mornings being full of action and as the day goes on the fishing slowing down. Yesterday Moon and I had a great day with little wind, plenty of fish and Moon’s incredible shrimp pattern fly. We had no problem getting our red in the morning, but trying to get [...]
Perfect Summer Morning
July 10, 2011 by
With the afternoon rains the day before, the morning started out nice and cool. With calm winds and clear skies we knew it was going to be a perfect summer day. Tough bite with the poppers but once we switched to a shrimp pattern it was game on.
Good Showing for Poor Weather
July 10, 2011 by
We started early yesterday hoping to get in a full day before the storms built up. Well we didn’t get a full day but we had a pretty exciting 2 hours. It was an overcast morning which made it next to impossible to see the fish but due to the low winds we could spot [...]
