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. […]
End of Fall
Here are some good ones from November and early December… I have to say congrats to Mike Birge on not only catching a 32 on a popper but more importantly getting on the Sheepy board!!! No easy task… I also have to mention Jeff Stang”s personal best 38 lb red which is also still standing […]
Big Fish Season is in Full Swing
As long as the weather allows us to get out on the water the big fish have been waiting. We have seen big fish floating, pushing, and even tailing, which is somewhat rare for us. It has been very windy recently but as long as you get the fly in their face they usually eat […]
The Fishing is Good
The fishing has been good! The big fish have moved in and even on cloudy days we have been sticking some really good fish. As long as the weather is somewhat consistent the fish have been very happy… Here are some pics to prove it…
Early Fall Action
It is that time of the year when the shrimp boats are holding massive black fin and yellowfin tuna. We didn’t hook a yellowfin on the fly on this day, but a 20+ lb blackfin was certainly a battle on the 12wt. The redfish have been schooling in certain areas. The schools mostly consist of […]
The Bull Days of Summer
Recently we have been having some great action all over the marsh. From popper fishing for small reds and sheepsheads in the ponds to outside fishing for bull reds, we’ve been trying to stay busy this summer. I had Jack and Denny back in town for a couple of days and when they are here […]
Summer Action
We have had a great summer with all kinds of fish being thrown at and caught. The latest being this 26 lb bull that I caught on a calm, hot, summer afternoon. Slot Fish are around in droves. I have seen groups of up to 100 fish just milling around in a pocket. We have […]
Late Spring/ Early Summer
It has been a pretty good spring and not a bad start to the summer. The fish have started grouping up and we have had plenty of clean water to work with. The gator population is certainly not hurting as well. It seems like they have a gator on every turn. The Sheepsheads have also […]
