Stingray Diet!!!!!

The fishing continues to be great!!! Tons of BIG fish in the marsh. Check out this monster we caught yesterday that had a pretty big stingray in its mouth that he swallowed head first. It’s amazing what these fish eat…. You could only see the tail at first. Check it out along with some other killer fish from the past few days. Enjoy

Here is the fish with the stingray tail hanging from his mouth…..

Here is when we pulled it out……

A few more images from the week….

Cold Weather Brought in Monsters!

We got a cold front this past week that dropped the water temps 10 degrees. This brought in bigger numbers of 20+ pound red fish. Check out some of the 10-15 pound smaller fish and check out how fat their bellies are! These fish are extremely heavy and healthy. We got at least 60 shots at 25+ pound red fish today, let me tell you that it was awesome! Enjoy the photos.

“The Heart of the Marsh”- By: Waterline Media, Greg Dini, and Gregg Arnold

This video was entered into the Drake Film awards and won best story and cinematography. We did what we needed to do to promote the fishery and show people that the marsh is fishing awesome despite all the bad press is got on the news. The oil spill was a bad situation but the marsh has over come it and the fishing is on fire. Enjoy!

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!

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!
