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!

A recent Bull red trip with a crew out of Florida. Beginning (roughly) the third week in July through Labor and starting up again in October, the bull red fish show up in Venice, LA. We have been expanding our offerings here and making Bull only trips available to our clients during peak times. These trips are truly special and very different from our standard charters. Enjoy the pictures and reach out if you are interested in getting on the books for next year. The calendar is filling quickly!

Captain Shawn. Did an excellent job on a difficult windy day. One us was able to limit out on the Reds. Would go back again with him if we have the the chance.
When I tell you a time was had!!! We had a group of 6 so we teamed up with Capt Shawn and Capt. Chad. The laughs started within 10 minutes of arriving to the dock! Both captains were very experienced, knowledgeable, hospitable and definitely made sure they put us in the best spots to catch fish!! We hooked multiple bull reds, speckle trout, sheepsheads and drum!! Definitely will be booking again very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great time with my son and I on this fishing charter. Brad found the fish and we brought in a nice haul. I'd definitely recommend a charter with him.
Brad was great! The fishing was amazing. It was easy and convenient to set up the trip. My husband and son had a fantastic time. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!
