Captain Greg Moon Captain Moon was raised on the beaches of California. He has been catching fish his entire life. He graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Philosophy from the University of Santa Barbara, and he moved to New Orleans over four years ago.
Of my thirty-one years on this earth I have been fishing twenty-six. I learned from an extremely young age just how addicting fishing truly could be. I started my fishing tenure chasing large mouth bass in the back waters of Southern Louisiana. I knew from those first topwater blow-ups that fishing had to be a […]
Caught this beuty on tusday while I was out scouting by my self. Needless to say I had to get some footage so people would believe me.
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 […]
With blue bird skies and just a slight breeze I figure I could take my girlfriend Lauren and her mother Lele out to do some easy sight fishing for some hungry redfish. Well the water was not as clear as i wanted but still we were able to see. The problem was there was no tide and […]
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 […]
Fly fishing guru Damon Newpher’s of Pennsylvanian fly.( www.pa-flyfishing.com). We had another early start of a day, lots of happy reds early and Damon took full advantage. Whacking a red about every five minutes or so, I think he might be mad at our Louisiana redfish!! Don’t know how many we whacked but whack’em he did. […]
Fished with Mr. Ewald and Ms. Kelly from www.grabherflyfishing.com. Conditions weren’t the best in the marsh today but skilled casters on the boat made the best of it. Neither Kelly nor Ewald had ever caught a redfish before and Kelly was looking to land her first saltwater fish on the fly. Ewald was able to […]
Rocky and I picked up our guys today at 4:00am and headed SSW to a super secret honey hole Captain Lucas turned us on to. Right off the bat we new we weren’t in Delacroix anymore due to the shark fins breaking the surface at the first spot we stopped at. As the day progressed […]
Both days have been extremely hot with the heat index reaching 110+ but when it is this hot it means there is no wind. Is the heat miserable? Yes. Is the fishing good enough to make you forget about the heat? Yes. When there is no wind it allows you to spot a redfish’s tell or movement […]
I had Riaz back on the boat for a second day of tremendous fly fishing action. We decided to try our hand at catching reds on top-water. I tied on a redfish popper and Riaz did the rest, laying down shot after shot with surgical precision. As a guide it is always a treat to […]
An early start was the key to success Tuesday morning as Riaz and I got on the water at daylight. Living in San Francisco hasn’t afforded Riaz any opportunities at redfish on the fly so he was eager to get a shot at his first. We didn’t have to wait long before we were hooked […]
Had the pleasure of fishing with the Kerr family this day. With the low winds and mostly clear skies it was a very successful day. In the morning I took out the son James Albert and the mom Dawn. Well immediately we start catching fish. Dawn gets her first red on the fly and James Albert has 8 […]
After dropping off the guys from the morning trip I got a quick bite to eat and got in touch with a friend of mine Capt Paul Swett for some afternoon action. We arrived at dead low tide which in Venice is great. The water clears up and the fish become stacked up in schools […]
Capt Greg Moon and I had a great group of guys fishing with us this day. Due to the poor water clarity on the east side we convinced the guys to take the ride down to Venice where the clarity has been good and the numbers of fish have been great. Everyone caught fish, Moon’s […]
Capt Greg Moon and I had a pretty good time testing his new East Cape Fury . This boat is pretty incredible. I may just be saying that because Im also getting one in the next week or so but the facts don’t lie. The boat is setup perfectly with great storage and rigged out […]
Hoping to get back on the fish Rocky and I saw two days ago I let Skip know early we were going to be taking a ride. After the 45 min boat ride we pull up to the flat and immediately start seeing movement. As we pushed closer we started seeing tails, big tails. Taking it slow […]
I had a great time fishing the Faus Pas fishing Rodeo With Brock and his Mom Stacey. All three days we caught a ridiculous amount of fish. Brock is by far the best junior angler I have ever seen. Although we didn’t catch any good […]
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 […]
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 another great morning. The Nolans had no problem catching these fish in the shade. Tide – End of falling, beginning of rising Water Temperature – 80-83 Wind – 0 – 10mph Sun – Mostly overcast early with a few spots of sun then scattered thunderstorms forced us in around 11:45 […]
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, […]
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 […]
I had the pleasure of visiting the Turks and Caicos Islands. Although the fishing was tough with high winds and what seemed like the tail end of bonefish season, the trip was still amazing. Caught the bonefish on a blind cast.
