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 […]
8/16 Early Redfish Action
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 […]
8/13 Venice Day 2
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 […]
8/12 Afternoon
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 […]
8/12 Venice, Louisiana aka Redfish Mecca
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 […]
The Moon Sled
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 […]
8/6 Tailing Redfish
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 […]
8/4 Scout Trip
Rocky and I took advantage of the calm winds and made a scout trip way south. Here we found plenty of redfish, some bull reds, and clean water. Although we didn’t catch the bigger reds in the school we did manage some 10-12lbers and one going about 16lbs. (good one for summer time) All the […]
