Early October Fly Fishing Report
Although we were still dealing with some water clarity issues, we were able to make it to the cleaner outside areas on most days. There we found large singles, schools of spawners (15-20lbers), and even the occasional Jack. On the windy days we stayed inside chasing tailers in the shallows and even got this nice […]
September fly fishing to Remember
Early this September was probably some of the best fishing I have had in a while. It was by far the best September fishing I have ever experienced. This was immediately followed by some of the worse weather which in turn made for some very difficult fishing. Here are some fish we put in the […]
Summer Fly Fishing for Cobia
Summer is hot! So instead of poling around in the marsh we decided to take it to the big water in hopes of finding something different… We found it! The first buoy we pulled up to had about a half dozen Cobia floating just underneath the surface. The water only had about 3-4 ft of […]

The Spring Thing!
Although the big fish are still around they are few and far between. Because of this I like to turn my attention to some other species this time of year. When weather permits we are able to run out to the beaches. This sometimes gives us opportunities at Jacks and big reds. If it’s […]
Offshore Fishing Venice Louisiana

The Perfect Day
Although Fall is most popular, people overlook the dead of winter. Yes, during winter we get horrible fronts that will keep you off the water for days at a time. Yes, our average winter temperatures are less then desirable for most saltwater fly fishing anglers. But… If you luck out and hit it right, you […]
Cold Winter Redfishing is Heating Up
This winter season has been pretty good, to say the least… We have had great shots on singles, doubles and sometimes even groups of 10 or more 20+lb Red Fish. This makes the double possibility jump way up. I even got to get in the game and hook up with this 35 lber with one […]
Kevin and Tejal
Although this is a late report, I had to let people know about what kind of luck you can have as long as you keep booking… Kevin and Tejal started coming down to fish in Louisiana about 3 Years ago and although we had some semi-productive days, we still had to work hard for them. […]
