Sunday Sept.18
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 […]
The Wood Women
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 […]
Venice in August
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 […]
8/18 Fly Fishing Early Morning Redfish
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. […]
8/21 Tailing Summer Redfish
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 […]
8/20 Big Nasty Summertime Redfish
I had Ted & Kim of www.fishermensspot.com today on board, going for the GIANTS! rolled out at 4:00am to catch a perfect condition for some trophy class redfish. Our early arrival to THE SPOT really paid off, the bigguns where already there waiting for a crab fly breakfast and I had the anglers on board to serve […]
8/19 Duck Pond Redfish
Had Jeff & Tony from Colorado today chasing redfish back in the duck ponds, little or no tide made it a tough day on the water. Fish would eat the shrimp pattern flies the best today but were kind of picky! Really wanted perfect fly placement. Great casters on the skiff makes a bad day […]
8/20 Quad Slam
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 […]
8/18-8/19 Redfish Tells
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 […]
8/17 Deja Vu
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 […]
