Its Africa Hot out there, but so is the Fishing!!

With temps in the low to mid 90′s everyday it’s been pretty warm, the fish have still been super active throwing wakes on the shorelines eating shrimp and pogies. They make for great sight casting opportunities.

Back in the Marsh!!!

Today was my first day back in the marsh after poon season. I was able to get out there with my wife for a few hours. Water is extremely high and a bit off color but the fish were thick pushing wakes and pounding the pogey’s and shrimp on the shorelines. Things are lining up for another great fall.

Windy Red Fish!!

The wind has been crushing us for the past few weeks, that has pushed a ton of water back into the marsh and the red fish have followed. Pretty cool time to fish as the reds are started to crush poppers on top!! Enjoy!!

Drum Central!!!

Big drum everywhere…. Water is starting to get back up in the marsh with all the south winds pushing it in. Finally starting to have the opportunity to fish some areas that we can’t get to during the winter…

Hybrid Bass caught on fly in the Marsh…… Never seen this before!

This is how we eat down here, a little dear meat and some blackened red fish…. Thank you George and Bob!!!

Warm weather is Finally Here!!!!

We have had beautiful weather here in Louisiana over the past week. Air temps in the mid to upper 70′s and mostly clear skies….. The fishing is on fire!!!!

Last days of February, tons of BIG fish!!!

Great fishing in the marsh, still tons of monsters swimming around!!

Big ‘N”

I love this shot from yesterday….overcast and plenty of big fish in the boat.

Just shy of a 20# tippet world Record

Had another killer day, tons of big fish, multiple double headers on 20+ lb fish, and one that came just shy of the current 20# tippet record which is 41.10 lbs.

February Monsters!!!!

The fishing continues to be great when the weather lets us out. Tons of big fish still in the marsh, lets hope the weather and cold fronts stay away…..

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……
