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!

Hopefully this was the last cold front of the year!

We had another front come through this past week which brought strong winds and some pretty nasty weather. This didn’t stop the redfish from getting on the flats and crawling around looking for food. The fish are starting to go into their spring pattern and gorging on the small mullet that are all over the marsh. Bait Fish flies have been working really good and is super exciting to watch a big redfish come behind a 4 inch mullet fly and come out of the water to eat it. Tight lines!

Great day on the Louisiana Marsh despite the weather.

We had a great day on the water today despite the crummy conditions. I had good friends Cary Kresge and longtime friend David Olson who runs the Fly Shop of Miami in town for two days. We had scum sky all day but that didn’t stop us. We landed 12 redfish on fly along with 5 black drum and Cary finished the day off by landing a Donkey Kong 32 lb redfish. We had clean water and could still see the fish even though the sight fishingconditions wern’t perfect. A great way to end their first day on the water. Weather looks good for tomorrow so redfish beware!

Shallow Water Angler TV in Louisiana

Louisiana Fishing is starting to go off even though we are getting our coldest weather of the year. I’m shooting a few segments for Shallow Water Angler TV the next three days. Looks like the weather is gonna be good, we hope to get some great footage of this incredible fishery. I still have some dates open if you would like to get on some nice redfish, trout and black drum.

27 pound redfish on fly

Had another great day. 27 pounder on fly and many other shots before the scum sky covered us. Messed around with some 7-13 pound fish that were crawling in the creeks on low tide. We had one backing coming right at us, the whole Vantage skiff was blocking the fish from getting out, Will hooked the fish, when he came at the boat we heard nothing but a thud, then the fish threw himself up on the mud and slithered back into the water, pretty cool to see them do that especially when he ended up being 13 pounds. Great day fly fishing in Louisiana.

RedBone Tournament in Louisiana

Recently I guided two great anglers from Pennsylvania Jim and Wanda in the RedBone for Cystic Fibrosis tournament on October 14th & 15th. We had sub par weather but tons of fish around. The tournament was held out of Woodland Plantation which is a great bed and breakfast to stay at while down in Louisiana fishing. We crossed the Mississippi River every morning on the ferry to fish the east side of the river out of Delacroix, LA. We had clean water and tons of shots. This was the first RedBone tournament held in Louisiana since hurricane Katrina. The event was a feeler to see how things would go for the next event they will hold here in April for Jazz Fest. With that being said it was a little unorganized with only a handful of the fishing categories that they normally have. We ended up placing runner up in the over all team event, we would have placed 1st in the fly fishing division except they didn’t have one for this particular event, and we won the big fish category with Wanda catching a 33 1/2″ redfish that weighed 17 pounds. This was a great tournament for a great cause. I look forward to fishing in the RedBone in April. Tight Lines! Fishing is great.
