Bull redfishing

Capt. Shawn Lanier
January 13, 2016
Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report

January 12 2016 report.

Once upon a time, two brothers from South Dakota named Lowell and Leon came down to a far and out of the way place, so a big fish would open up a can of woop ass on a artificial lure, as opposed to catching their regular old Walleye like back at home. So, they called me, Capt. Shawn, to catch "BULL" Redfish off the passes of the Mississippi River, the best place in the world to target these line stripping fish. Now, Capt. Shawn does not get many people from Louisiana calling him for big Redfish, because most of them want to catch Speckled Sea Trout on live Shrimp so they can fry them up. Well, that's fine, but if you Crappie fish then you are trout fishing. For any fisherman, way back in the corner of your mind, you know you want a big fish to hit, that's challenging to get in the net. Besides, a Redfish under twenty pounds is really good on the grill.
Anyway, high river or not, we punished the big Redfish this last week with not so great conditions. Two out of our three days fishing were good days with plenty of action. These guys found out that you can't just sit down and fight these fish, because they are darting around in all directions until you tire them out. Lowell and Leon were tired out as well. When we got back to the lodge in the afternoon they went down to the bar for a few drinks before coming back and joining me for a few before supper. In bed for eight we all were. They said it was a blast and they are coming back. These guys surely were a good time. I could tell they had a good time too 
