What To Bring?
Essentials:
Small boat bag/ dry bag, Copper or amber polarized sunglasses, Hat, Sunscreen, Rain jacket, Buff, & Bug spray
Food:
Before meeting your guide it is recommended to grab a sandwich or some form of packed lunch for a long day on the water. We will give you a list of some great places to grab a good boat lunch. We will supply water. We have kicked plastic so we will have gallons of water and bottles for each guest or you can bring your own bottle.
Rod Setup:
We will provide rod and reel setups if needed but, if you want to bring your own here is what we recommend. 8-9 wt rods with weight forward floating line with a short head is what is the best all around setup for the majority of the fishing we do. For Jack fishing we recommend beefing it up a little bit and using 10-11 wt rods.
Flies:
Weedless crab or shrimp patterns. Olive, purple, black, tan or copper.Black, olive, white poppers size 1/0 or 2/0
Our Equipment:
We fish out of a Hell's Bay Professional poling skiff. These skiffs are perfect for maneuvering around the marsh and give you the best opportunity to see and catch fish. The guide will stand on a poling platform on the back of the boat while you stand on a casting platform on the front. We will effortlessly glide through extremely shallow water hunting down targets for you to cast to. Fly fishing is our most popular method of catching fish on our trips. We have available all equipment necessary to fly fish but also encourage clients to bring their own if they would like. Some days fly-fishing can be tough in Louisiana because of wind or water conditions so we also provide light spin cast equipment.
