Louisiana Trip

[Jeffrey Silvan]

I went back down to Louisiana for a few days of fishing again. A few days of tough conditions, but still managed to get on some great fish. I had one day of insane Jack action where they were just running through the flats at about 20 MPH just crashing bait on the surface. There were some incredible eats on the fly too. 

Unfortunately, I did mess up on what would've been my best fish on the trip and ever on the fly. We were running and gunning into a pile of birds and fish, and I jumped up, tossed my fly, and hooked into what we're estimating was a 50+ lb jack. Of course, I got sloppy in my rush to get to the bow for the cast, and was stepped on my line which ripped the fly out of its mouth 70 feet into its run. Oh well, always how it works, isn't it?

Great fish! Who do you go out with while down there?

Those are some really funny-looking carp, Jeff.

Awesome.  Thanks for posting!  Those sure are some nice fish.

Kevin - I usually use Greg Moon from Louisiana Fly Fishing Charters. He often works in a team with a few other guides to help increase chances - especially this time of year when there are lots of schooling fish and it's easy to throw multiple boats at them. If you can't get out with Greg, I'd recommend Lucas Bissett, Rocky Thickstun, or Bailey Short.
