Just got back from a buddy's bachelor party in New Orleans. I squoze a day of fishing in between all the partying.
I had a blast fishing out on the marsh. I was sight fishing for red fish and black drum with an 8 weight in only a few feet of water. I caught several red fish in the 8-12 lb. range and then capped the day off by landing a 38 lb. black drum. She was a true swamp donkey!

I can't say enough about my guide Captain Greg Dini. He is a really fun guy to fish with. He's got a beautiful skiff and knows how to put you on the fish. Here is the link to his webpage: http://www.flywaterexpeditions.com/ I highly recommend him and his partners.
If you are ever down in New Orleans, I would suggest getting out to fish the surrounding saltwater marshes. You only live once right?
Tight Lines!
