The Howell Family Trip

Sunday May 24th was a great day on the water with the Howell family. My good friend and client Bubba Howell From Mississippi brought his wife Lynn, and their two boys Trey and Walter to Lafitte, Louisiana to go on a fishing trip with myself Capt. Scott Poche`, and what a great day we had. Trey caught the biggest Redfish of the day. He was casting a black and chartreuse Bayou Chub minnow when he caught his prize Redfish, and with a team effort we landed his trophy fish. He was very proud of his Redfish and remembered how many spots it had at the end of the day! Both of these young boys fished hard and enjoyed fighting 15 out of the 19 Redfish we brought back to the dock.
It was not an easy day today with the wind blowing and the water being dirty from the all the wind and rain we have been having the last few days. But we ended the day with 19 Redfish, 2 Black Drum and 1 lost Speckled Trout we caught in the shallow duck ponds, not a bad day for the conditions we were dealing with. I enjoy watching these young anglers faces when they have a Redfish on the line. I am glad I can be part of memories that will last them a lifetime. New Orleans Fishing at its Best!

May Coldfront Redfish

With a coldfront approaching Sunday May 17th, winds were light for the early part of the morning. I was hesitant to go very far from the marina, so I decided to head out to the Bayou Perot area to try and catch Redfish. The water was fairly clear and the bite was on! We caught 10 Reds on the first stop we made, and 10 more before a waterspout and the rain chased us back to the dock. We finished the day with 20 Redfish and 8 Black Drum, with releasing a few that were too big to keep. We have a good picture of the waterspout that touched down a few hundred feet from boat. That was a little scary but we stayed a safe distance and made it back safe. New Orleans fishing at its best!

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

The Girls First Trip

Even on the hardest fishing day of the year, we caught these nice Redfish. The wind was blowing northwest at 25 and gusting, and the temperature dropping into the 30′s. It did not change these girls mind about going fishing for the day. we still managed to catch a few nice Redfish, and one very cold Aligator we took a picture with and released him.

Matt Durham Bachelor trip

On May 2nd Capt. Chet and I had the pleasure of fishing with a great group of guys, Matt Durham, Mark Durham, Josh Durham, Billy Mc Millan, Philip Ingram and Rob Garner. It was Matt’s bachelor party trip and we had a successful day on the water catching Redfish. The wind was blowing 15 to 20mph, but we did not let it get the best of us. The bays were out of the question for catching Trout, so we slipped off into the shallow marsh to find clear water and hungry Redfish, and that we did! We ended the day with our limit of 20 Redfish and a few lonely Speckled Trout we caught by accident. Capt. Chet went off and sunk some shrimp on a jighead in his secret spot. They ended the day with a few limits of Reds, 1 Black Drum, 1 Sheepshead, and a mixed bag of fish, catching and releasing a bunch of Reds that did not quiet make the grade, but were fun to catch. All in all it was a great time. New Orleans Fishing at its Best!

I want to Thank you guys for booking your trip with us, and look forward to fishing with you in the future.

Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Jim Smith trip

On May 7th, 8th and 9th Alden, Kory and Myself fished with a great group of guys Jim Smith,  Calvin Washinton, Bob Parrott, James Witherspoon, Derbert Dilworth, Joe Dunbar, Charles Guy and Ron Pope. We had three great days of fishing, even with the wind blowing 15 to 20mph. We caught limits of Redfish everyday, with a few Flounders and Speckled Trout to help fill our fish boxes. After three days of fishing we had 165 Redfish, 7  Flounder and 40 or so Speckled Trout.  This has been a very successful trip this year, with Mr. Dilworth catching the most Redfish for the trip, and my good friend Jim Smith finally catching more fish than me on the third day!

I want to thank all of you for booking with us, and we look forward to fishing with our good friends in the future.

Logan and Katie’s Trip

On Sat. April 18th I had the pleasure of fishing with Logan and his wife Katie. We left the Lafitte Harbor Marina at 6:30am and headed out to chase some shallow water Redfish. We made a stop in one of my favorite duck ponds, And with the wind blowing about 15 to 20 knots it was not a very productive area, only bringing a lonely Flounder to the boat. So I headed out to look for clean water which was hard to find with all the wind we been having these last few weeks. But with a little luck we found a few ponds that had decent water and a few nice Redfish that were willing to bite. We ended the day with catching and releasing atleast 12 Redfish, with only a few going home for dinner. New Orleans Fishing at its Best!
Thank you Logan and Katie for booking your fishing trip with me, and  I look forward to fishing with you in the future.
Good Luck and Good Fishing!

Double Redfish Action

New Orleans Fishing at its Best!

Logan’s Redfish

Limits of Redfish

I had a chance to fish with a long time client and good friend Stan Read, his wife Teresa, and their 9 year old son Alex. It was Alex’s first Redfish trip to New Orleans with his parents, and for the first time he did well. He Caught his first Redfish casting a black and chartruese Bayou Chub minnow on a 1/4oz jighead. He now joined the rankings with the big guys. It was not an easy day casting against the 20mph wind, but he made it look easy. We saw a Redfish waking down the bank and Teresa chunked a Bayou Chub in front of him and it was ON! There is Nothing like site casting for Redfish in shallow marsh. Stan caught a few site casting on the deck with me also. We ended our day with a limit of Refish, and have the pictures to prove it!
Thanks for a great day!
