Dust off your 10wt - the big girls are in the marsh, the water has dropped out, and the forage is plentiful. Shots on big fish with explosive shallow water eats are a daily occurrence this time of year. The schools of bull reds have broken up and they’ve become more solitary as they prowl the shallow interior marshes hoovering up shrimp, crabs, and every living creature unfortunate enough to cross their path. The water has dropped out for winter, concentrating the fish and making them easy to spot. The wind can be a little unpredictable, but in between fronts,...

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...

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!

A recent trip with a great crew out of Florida in town for a run at these Delacroix red fish!
We headed out making a short run south in the fog with the intention of fishing our way further south as the fog lifted. We got on fish at the first stop and never got off that shoreline. We moved down the grass edge picking up several fish at each stop until it was time to head in. They took pictures of the big girls and released them to fight another day. A great day with a great crew!

    What a great day. Me and my 2 sons fished with Captain Jacob and had an amazing day. Had 3 limits of red by 7:00 a.m. and continued to catch reds non stop for about another almost 2 hours. Even managed to pick up a handful of specks on the way in. Will definitely book another trip with him.
