Fishing has been great in Venice the last couple weeks. Water is warming and each day the bite continues to get better. Lots of bulls being caught a long with keeper redfish and keeper black drum. This time of the year it is common to catch 30-40lb blue cats as...

Fishing has been great in Venice the last couple weeks. Water is warming and each day the bite continues to get better. Lots of bulls being caught a long with keeper redfish and keeper black drum. This time of the year it is common to catch 30-40lb blue cats as they make their way to the shallows to spawn. Sheepshead are also begging to spawn on the near shore rigs and can offer some epic boxes as louisiana has no limit on Sheepshead.

    Trip: Sniping Giant Crappie W/ Livescope

  • ★★★★★
    Robert is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the river and trout behavior, but also genuinely passionate about making sure everyone has a great experience. He took the time to understand our skill level and tailored the day accordingly—whether it was offering patient instruction on casting techniques or sharing more advanced strategies. The Little Red River itself was stunning. Clear water, peaceful surroundings, and just the right balance of challenge and accessibility. He consistently put us on fish throughout the day, and his instincts about where and when to fish were spot-on. What really stood out was the attention to detail. From high-quality gear to thoughtful tips and encouragement, everything was handled professionally and with care. It never felt rushed or transactional—it felt like spending the day with someone who truly loves what they do and wants you to love it too. Oh yeah and he makes an awesome turkey cheese sandwich for lunch! Looking forward to another trip in the future.

    We had a great day on the little red river with Robert. We all caught fish and his boat was perfect for the four of us to fish comfortably. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who’s looking to go fishing and not just boat ride. Also, he was very patient with us. Novice fly fisherman. Thank you, Robert for a perfect day on the river.

    Ryan was a great guide! Friendly and informative. We had a nice day fishing the White River out of Beaver. I would very much like to do another trip with Ryan next time in the area.

    Trip: Beaver Tailwater Fly Trips

    Scott worked hard, he showed us how to fish behind the livescope, and we tried many places, but in 8 hours of fishing we ended up with nothing. Three of us were fishing with Scott. Scott caught 7 or 8 fish, I caught 2, one of the other guys caught 1 and the other man caught 0. A couple of Scott's crappie approached 10 inches, but all of the other fish were 7 to 8 inches. I know that sometimes this can happen, but it is terribly disappointing when you drive 375 miles, spend $500, fish for 8 hours and we go home empty handed.
