Catching mixed boxes every day. From small to big redfish. Lake is a little muddy and should start clearing up soon. The sheepshead bite is on fire right now as well starting to lots of speckled trout.

Lots of undersized redfish were caught during this trip. But they had a blast. Super windy day but found clear water and the redfish were munching.

We went scouting for flounder last week and ended up with a box of redfish for dinner. As the weather warms up the fishing will continue to get better.

The past few days have been on fire pre front and post front we have caught fish. Redfish beat down for this family outing. With some flounder and speckled trout. When the weather got warm the bite was crazy. We had two boats for this trip everything was caught on...

Last few weeks have been amazing!!! 3 days of very cold waters down 40.4 degrees. During which we had to literally put the bait a few inches from their mouth.

Ryan was very welcoming with us and accommodating to us. He kept us fishing in some windy waters and was patient with the mistakes made due to the wind. We caught some redfish and some drum to fillet out. Will definitely book another trip with Ryan.

Mark did a great job and knows the area well. I brought my 3 boys (7, 10, 15) and Mark was patient, hospitable, knowledgeable, prepared and hard working. We caught a variety of species and had a great time. We would go back again with Mark!

Trip: Extended Half Day Fishing Trip
★★★★★
Captain Ron was an amazing guide. He was funny and joked with us the whole time and he made it seem like he was a friend taking us to fish rather than a random guy who has a boat. We had two boats for the trip and there is not one negative thing to say about either guide. I’d tell anyone to book with Ron if they were fishing in Louisiana 10/10 times.

Jason worked hard for us in difficult circumstances…very windy and choppy. Regardless, we had a great time and he was able to find a spot that got us into some fish. Highly recommend him and his bait to anyone.

Trip: Louisiana Slam With Capt Mack

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!
