Papa Joe fished with Chris and Nick today. The reds were unbelievable and hungry too. They had their limits before 9 AM again today and the wind was better than yesterday. In fact, it was just plain still. No problem seeing the fish today. Here is a photo of Chris showing off his big red of the day. At 10 Am the heat was so bad they elected to return to the dock, get those fish cleaned, and have some lunch.

Today I fished with Chris Ginn, a writer, photographer, and a real good fisherman. We had our limit of redfish before 9 AM . Those reds were tailing, and pushing water for miles around. The limits could have come earlier but we visited several places trying to get photos of tailing reds without the slight chop on the water. All and all it was a great time for the both of us. Here is a photo of Chris showing off the two biggest fish of the day.

June 17th & 18th

The Gobert part of 6 returned from Shreveport LA. to fish with Papa Joe. The second boat was Capt. E.J. These guys tore the reds up for two days in a row on spinner baits. They will be grilling reds for a long time. It's enough to make a bass fisherman convert to reds. These were all beautiful fish, and they limited out both days. This photo says it all. Thanks guys, see you in the fall.

June 14th

Nathan, his father Rene, and Dane joined Papa Joe today to find these reds and more. Since the bite was early yesterday, we got a very early start only to find the wind up and the bite happened later. They had some huge reds along with some good eaters. Thanks guys, we hope to see you again.

As you can see from these pictures, Papa Joe fished with Steve Oppenheimer and his son today. Even with the seabreeze from the southwest, the weather was great and they managed to fish reds on the lea shore. Kept only enough fish to eat at Jan's Cajun Restaurant and turned the rest loose to fight another day. Thanks guys, I hope you enjoyed the trip and we will see you again when you get back to New Orleans.

June 4th & 5th

My good friend Brock, his wife, and daughters fished for Redfish the past 2 days. Here they arre showing off some of their catch. The weather wasn't the best either day; with strong winds and heavy clouds, it looked like winter. This will probably be the last nasty front of the summer and we can get back on the big schools of Speckled Trout in the Bay. Gang, I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did. Let's do it again and bring Justin next time. 

May 28th

Matt from Baton Rouge is pictured here with his mother, grandmother, and some of the reds they caught today with Papa Joe. This was matt's graduation present and boy did he enjoy the trip. (30 trout and 6 reds) He caught the biggest, and the most fish as he put on a clinic for all of us. Matt wants to be a fishing and hunting guide when he is old enough. He has the talent, but I told him while the best guides have a natural talent, a degree in accounting and biology helps a lot. Thanks folks, we hope to fish with you again.

May 15th

Dean, Dane, and Harvey are pictured here showing off some of the fish they caught while fishing with Papa Joe on a great two-day package. They fished Redfish the first day and Trout/redfish the second day. The accommodations, food, weather, and fishing were all fantastic. Thanks guys, have a safe trip home and we hope to see you again next year.  

May 15th

Capt. Mike fished with the Berthelot gang today. As you can see from this photo, they had a very successful trip for the third year in a row. That's quite a record. Now is the time to get on the fish here in Lafitte. They are really turned on and the fisherman love it. Thanks folks, when is the fish fry? Hope to see you again next year.
