During the summer there are two options: If you want big boys, you head to the fringes of the Gulf of Mexico and look for massive bull reds, if you want numbers, you stay inside and fish the gin clear water in grassy duck ponds for slot reds. Personally, the slot reds are my favorite. They are plentiful, pop out clear as day when they come floating up, and have a beautiful copper coloration. They are aggressive, forgiving, and put up a hell of a fight in this ultra shallow environment. Today we stayed inside. I set my clients up...

I set my clients up with a gold spoon, a marsh staple, and they pulled red after red out of the thick vegetation and even managed a couple black drum. A great day out in the marsh!

The weather is hot in Nola but so is the morning fishing! With water temps reaching the upper 80s mid day the best time to target our slot fish this time of year is during the morning hours while the water temps are cooler and fish are up on the flats. During this time they are still hungry and eager as ever to take a fly

    Mackie was a great guide!! Highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a successful day of fishing! The music on the boat was a bonus. He really worked hard to get us on a sheephead, and we endef the day with a nice red!

    Mackie put us right on the fish from moment we anchored and guy was on his job as a guide. Then after we put the specks up moved us to a spot where we landed a 40inch red. Definitely booking with him again made memories of a lifetime today!
