I operate a fly fishing and light tackle guide service specializing in sight fishing for giant bull redfish. In the fall and winter I fish from Hopedale to Venice over to Houma. There is absolutely nothing better than watching a 30lb redfish crush a fly in 18 inches of water. I fish out of a Hells Bay Waterman. Using the pole exclusively allows us you to get closer to the fish and give you more shots than using a trolling motor. In the spring and summer I fish Sabine Lake, and the nearshore waters targeting bull reds, cobia, jacks, tripletail, & the occasional tarpon. Check out the website and give me a call. - JLW
