Adventure South Guide Service specializes in guiding clientele on light-tackle saltwater fishing trips for redfish and speckled trout in coastal Southeast Louisiana. On a typical day you will leave the dock at "safe light" and will find yourself running through a maze of bayous, bays, and marshes on your way to one of the many fishing locations in the area. Once arriving at the first "honey hole", you will troll or drift along while casting artificial lures to grass covered points or over one of the many oyster reefs in the area. These waters are so full of rod bending redfish and tail walking speckled trout that it is not uncommon to catch 100+ fish each day. The action is unbelievable. To put it plan and simple, light-tackle fishing for redfish and speckled trout is like "bass fishing on steroids." A 5-lb. redfish will pull a 5-lb. bass backward, and speckled trout will break the water on a topwater lure until they get it. These fish never quit!
