Past few Weeks On the Louisiana Marsh and West Coast of Florida

I have been splitting my time in the marsh and florida the past two weeks. With everyone still waiting to see what the extent of the oil disaster, all the local fly fishing guides including myself have still been putting hours on the water taking trips and putting some beautiful redfish in the boat. The redfish are in there summer patters and are all in the thick grass, tailing and crushing shrimp down the shorelines making it a ton of fun on fly rod. I have also been taking trips for Tarpon on the west coast of florida and the fish have been poring through. We have been getting tons of shots and jumping a few every day on fly. Heading to the panhandle tomorrow for the next 60 days to take tarpon trips there, very excited and looking forward to tarpon that will chase a fly down. Tight Lines!

Oil Spill Redfish, West Coat Tarpon

Well, as we all are aware of the oil spill has been on our minds here in Louisiana over the past few weeks. We are all keeping our fingers crossed for the best outcome. I have also been on the west coast of florida the past week in search of monster tarpon on the beaches and back country of charlotte harbor and they are in! With multiple fish days the poons are in and we will be there to get in their path. Yesterday was my first day back in the marsh in over a week and the red fishing was on fire. We fished for 4 hours on the west side of the mississippi river which is still open to recreational fishing and landed 8 nice reds on fly! WE were enjoying every minute on the water because if this oil takes a turn for the worst we may not know when the next time we will get to fish the marsh. We will keep you posted with any updates, keep us in your prayers. tight lines!
