May 5th & 6th

Norm Williams, his 2 sons Craig and Brad and friend Terry had a blast catching trout and redfish the last 2 days with Papa Joe. Norm has been fishing with Papa Joe for about 10 years now. These guys were a lot of fun and also took advantage of the terrific New Orleans fishing package deal that Papa Joe's has to offer. Here are a few photos.  Terry caught that huge red over 20 lbs while fishing trout the first morning. I think it was his first redfish ever. What a way to start. Thank you Norm, and thanks guys it was a great trip. You left Terry's rain suit, we can save it for next time or send it, just let me know.

May 2nd & 3rd

Graham, Terry, Brandon, Barry, Wesley, Brian, David, and Scott from Cleveland Ga. spent the last 2 days fishing with Papa Joe, and Capt John. They say Papa Joe's all inclusive New Orleans fishing package is the best way to go, and these guys really had a good time. Even though the wind just would not give us a break, they still caught fish. Proof is always in the pictures, so here they are with fish and smiling faces. Thanks guys, see you on your next trip to New Orleans in the fall.

May 1st

Pat Cox and Debra Favre caught these fish and more while fishing with Papa Joe today. We got a late start, and the wind was pretty strong, but they made the best of it and came out on top. Thanks girls, we're looking forward to your next trip.

April 30th

Papa Joe spent today on the water with Dennis Hayes, John Shea and Parker Rogers catching speckled trout, redfish and black drum. Here are Dennis and John holding up a couple of the larger ones. The guys were in for the Jazz Fest as well as fishing. Thanks guys, it was a great day.

April 28th

James Hennigan and his lovely wife fished with Papa Joe today. As you can see from this photo, they had a wonderful day. Plenty of fish, good weather, and a fun time. It just doesn't get any better than that. Thanks folks, I hope we can do it again.

April 25th

George Moran and Dane Picone are pictured here holding their biggest red and trout of the day. The wind was a bit strong, but otherwise the weather and company were just great. George and Dane have been making a yearly trip during the month of April for several years now. Thanks guys, enjoy the fish, and take a look at the video recipe on the front page of my website www.fishneworleans.com

April 22nd & 23rd

George and Tim are pictured here showing off a few of the fish they caught. Tim, who had never caught a redfish before, had his dream come true when he reeled in this 30 lb. red. The fishing, weather, and company was great. Thanks guys, we hope to see you again. Enjoy the fish.

April 18th & 19th

The Eddie Solomon group from Georgia returned to fish with Papa Joe for 2 days. Even though the fish were on the slow side, the guys had an excellent time. Here are a couple of photos with a few of the guys showing off some reds, and one of the entire group. Thanks folks, Pat and I enjoyed having you and we hope to see you again soon.

April 7th

Papa Joe fished today with Johnny Eggards and his 11 year old son Zeb. Can you see from these photos who caught the largest Redfish? This must be what they mean by a photo finish, but it looks like Zeb to me. Their day began with a 5:45 AM pick-up at their hotel, then some great fishing in some very skinny water with spinner baits, and back to the hotel for 3 PM. Thanks guys, hope to see you again soon.

March 28th

William Cappeller, Tom Barba, Dave Simmons, and Art Silveira, had a wonderful day on the water fishing with Papa Joe Today. A late start with a 10:00AM pickup at their hotel didn't seem to make a big difference, but of course an early morning breakfast is preferred by most fish. Here are a couple of the guys showing off a few of the fish  they caught. After Papa Joe cleaned their catch they returned to New Orleans for another night on the town. Thanks guys it was fun.

February 25th

Eric Britzke brought his crew back to fish a couple of days with Papa Joe. It was their first time here since the storm. As you can see from the photo we did well on day 1, but had to cancel day 2 because of weather. Thanks guys, enjoy the fish and try the video recipe that's on my web site you'll love the fish that way.
