Great weather on the Louisiana Marsh

Wow, the weather has been incredible the past two days out on the Louisiana marsh. I had Ted and Jason from Dallas in the boat the past two days and we got tons of shots. The first day Ted landed 12 redfish on fly with most of the fish ranging from 8-12 pounds. After he got a few nice fish in the boat we went to look for some bigger fish in a few places that I have been finding them over the past week. We pulled onto the flat and right away we started getting shots at monster redfish from 25-35 pounds. The redfish were coming in in pairs and cruising pretty fast and seemed to be feeding on mullet. Ted was throwing a 10 wt. Sage Z-Axis and had one of my big fish flies on. We missed the first few shots but it didn’t take long for Ted to get right with his first monster Louisiana redfish. The fish came in at about 11 o’clock from the bow of the boat. Ted made two quick false casts and laid a great shot out about 50 feet and lead the fish perfectly. As soon as the fly hit the water and sank the redfish pounced on it and the game was on. Ted faught the fish for about 15 minutes and when he got the fish close to the boat a bigger fish followed him in that was an easy 40 pounder. When he got him in the fished weighed 32 pounds on the certified Boga Grip, an incredible fish on fly! We got a few more shots before the sun got too low to see but didn’t get right with another big boy. Louisiana has an incredible sight fishery and this is the kind of fish we go for from November – March. Back at it again tomorrow, Tight Lines!
