Rocky and I had a decent weather day off  and decided to make a run and see what we find.  120 miles later we had few shots but did manage to get this 47.5 lb black drum and 22 lb Red.  Not bad but was hoping to see more.

Both these days we were fortunate to have perfect weather with mostly clear skies and 0 winds at times.  Although the first day it took us a few hrs to find them once we did we were all over them.  Needless to say we headed to the same spot the following morning.  As the day went on we were joined by both Gregg Arnold and Greg Dini. Because the fishing was so good everyone was happy to fish next one another.  All boats did very well.

Captain Miles LaRose
Born and raised in the great state of Louisiana, Captain LaRose grew up on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, only 25 miles outside of New Orleans. With access to freshwater fish in the river and coastal fishing in the lake, he has longtime life experience catching fish.

Take a look at the video below to get a full rundown of the boat and some of the custom features!

I was born in Orlando, Florida and began fishing at a very young age. I graduated to the saltwater environment at the age of 10, when our family bought a condo on the east coast of Florida. I mastered my home waters of Mosquito Lagoon while in high school and made trips every other weekend to the west coast of Florida to fish the Charlotte Harbor area. I was fortunate enough to play sports as a young man and received a scholarship to play division one baseball at the University of Miami. This is where my addiction began as I got hooked on the three biggest saltwater flats species (Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit). Going to class was extremely hard when you live in an area that has incredible fishing opportunities, as South Florida did.

After my sophomore year at UM, I transferred to play baseball at Tulane University which is located in Uptown, New Orleans. I didn’t realize how good of a fishery that I had moved into and was out on the water in no time, learning the area that is considered to be the best red fishery in the world. Putting in thousands of hours on the marsh and polling around in technical skiffs has made me realize how incredible and resourceful the Louisiana marsh really is.

Whether you are interested in marsh fishing in Louisiana or searching for the silver kings on the coast of Florida, I invite you to come share in my addiction..

As a former customer of guides all over the world, I know how it can be to get yelled at and put in your place when you don’t make the perfect cast, or can’t see the fish right away. For this reason, I will never put my anglers down when they are on the bow of my boat. I strive to make my trips as enjoyable and comfortable for my clients, with trips consisting of instruction, encouragement, and tons of laughter. Creating friendships and memorable experiences is my vision for Fly Water Expeditions and I can’t wait to hear from you.

Yesterday we fished and caught plenty of small fish but no big fish.  Although we saw and presented flies perfectly to them we had no strikes at all.  So after a little tweaking of my fly patterns we started day two.  All weather forecast we saw were wrong. We had little to no sun all day and a pretty steady wind, but we knew where the fish were and we now had the flies to catch them.

So here are the big boys….

22lb

27lb

32lb

Last but not least the 37lb

Mr. Larry whacking the reds, catching lots of fish, but not catching lots of big fish. Water clarity being the key and it hasn’t been the best, some clean some not. Good enough to really pound these voracious eaters with double digit numbers of fish caught each trip! This time of year we need tide and sunshine. We will have a great trip…..
