| TIPS & FAQ'S |
| Want to tie your own flies? Check out the fly of the month above or contact us for what is best when you come down. We provide fly and spin/casting tackle. Do we pick you up at the hotel? No, due to changing fishing conditions you will need to meet us at the marina we are working out of at that time. What is the average catch per day on reds? That is totally dependent on many variables. Weather, angler ability, and of course the fish. We will work extremely hard to put you on fish all day long, but usually you will have between 6-20 shots at fish. Do you clean fish? No, we do not. However, ask about cleaning details before you come down. Do not take for granted that arrangements can be made the morning of the trip, you may not be able to keep fish |
| HOT TIP!! HOT TIP!! HOT TIP!! Practice casting under 20 feet. No it is not a typo on distance of practicing casts. Many reds in SE LA are caught under 20 feet from the boat. Be aggressive when fishing here. Smack the fly down on short casts (spanking) so the fish can turn and look for the fly. My philosophy is, do not worry about how pretty or technical the cast is, just get the fly in front of the fish. Most people screw up a presentation by looking at the fish when sight fishing and therefore cast on the fish. Great tip is to look at where you want the fly placed in front of the fish. |

| Light tackle anglers, if you want to capitalize on sight fishing red fish, learn how to pitch! Accurate pitching, with spinning or casting tackle will triple your odds of catching fish. |

| The Fly of the Month has been changing pretty rapidly as of late. Kirby's Kreatures, Geaux Meaux's, Short Meaux's. Best color patterns are brown/tan, light olive/dark olive, light olive/ chartreuse, brown/chartreuse. Crab patterns work well when the tide has bottomed out. All flies should be on size 1/0- #2 hooks and weedguards are not needed. Flies should be weighted light and heavier to accommodate tides. Louisiana red fish like their flies flashy! Big reds have moved in so have some large baitfish flies on 2/0 hooks. Big fish want a meal, not a snack. |
