North end of the Biloxi Marsh

We got into these guys all day long. Had some great guys in the boat Tommy Sr. and Tommy Jr. We had a blast throwing at these fishing pushing down the shorelines with their backs out of the water. We had 1 shot at a 30+ pound red and a few shots at some 30+ pound Black Drum. As we start to get some cold fronts more of the big fish will start pushing in. Tight Lines!

Great Time, Great Friend, Awesome Red Fishing!

Today was a special day. I had the opportunity to take my longtime baseball coach Mr. Dixon red fishing out on the marsh today. We reminisced about old times and how things have changed since I was a youngster playing baseball. If we wouldn’t have caught a fish I that would have been fine with me because I had great company, the fishing made it even better. The red fish were thick!

Sight fishing Reds with Light Tackle Spin Gear

Went out yesterday with some pretty good spin casters. We sight fished some really nice reds in the 10-15 pound range. The reds were pushing bait down the shorelines making them an easy yet fun target on  spin gear. Its unbelievable the amount of fish and bait we are seeing in the marsh right now. Tight Lines!

August Red Fishing!

Out in the marsh for the past three days. Fishing is awesome right now, redfish pounding shrimp and small baitfish on the shore line, fish tailing in the grass and still getting a few shots at some monster drum. I love the sequence in these photos with the fish pushing down the shoreline and the eat right at the boat. Tight lines!

THE RESULT

Back in Louisiana after a Great Tarpon Season!

After a great tarpon season on the west coast of Florida and in the Panhandle it is great to be back in New Orleans and back out on the marsh. A few weeks ago Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries opened almost all state waters to recreational and sport fishing and commercial fishing zones are slowly starting to re open. This is great news for all the fishing guides because with no hesitations now we can start filling up our calendars with trips for the upcoming fall/winter redfish season. I have been out on the marsh for the past 4 days and have gone 20-25 miles out where I do all my winter time red fishing and I have to say the marsh is as beautiful as ever and there is NO OIL to be seen. The people who are out there everyday cleaning up our shorelines have done an incredible job and we appreciate their hard work. Baring any huge storm that blows what is left of the oil that is out there into the marsh, things should be great. There are tons of fish out there along with all the pogies, shrimp and crabs that they feed on. The marsh is as alive as it has ever been and the fishing will be incredible this upcoming fall. I hope that for all that were effected by this disaster we can move on and look forward to a positive future and watch the gulf coast thrive like it always has. Tight Lines!

Its on Fire in the Panhandle!

The fishing has been on fire the past three days. Weather has stabilized and the poons are thick. We jumped 8 yesterday and 4 today and getting plenty of shots is not the problem. Back at it again tomorrow.

Early July Panhandle Report

We have had a few bad weather days here in the panhandle as of late but that hasn’t stopped us from jumping fish. The migration is in full swing and the tarpon are poring through our area as we speak. When the weather cooperates we have been putting up some serious numbers. Tight Lines!

Migration is in Full Swing

The migration is in full swing here in the Panhandle. We are seeing a few hundred tarpon a day and have been jumping a bunch of fish the past 6 days. Here are a few photos. Tight Lines!

Panhandle Tarpon Report 6/11/2010

We had another good day of tarpon fishing in the panhandle today. We are seeing more fish every day and getting some nice shots and really cool eats. We landed two today in the 70-80 lb. range and had a few other eats. We are getting our shots in about 2-3 ft. of water which makes it really neat. They are eating a little bunny strip fly with spun dear hair that I tie for here and when they see it they are crushing it. Tight Lines!

Panhandle Report 6/2010

Fish are starting to come through pretty good. We are getting more shots every day. Jumped one and had a few other eaters yesterday. Today we jumped two in the 90-100 lb range and had two other eats that we should have stuck. Looking forward to tomorrow. Tight Lines.
