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!

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!
