As the days get cooler, the fishing gets hotter down here in South Louisiana. The bull reds and jacks are schooling by the tens and even hundreds some days. I’ve been heading out to the edge of the Gulf to intercept these packs of maniacs. Doubling and tripling up on 30lb redfish on fly is a common occurrence and will continue till about thanksgiving. Nothing gets your blood pumping like rolling up to a school of huge bulls boiling the water and breaching like dolphins as they decimate a pod of migrating shrimp - Cast a fly in there and hold onto your butt, you’re going for a ride.

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 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!
