Bull redfish have become an annual desired species among the guidance of Captain Keith Kennedy of BORN TO FISH CHARTERS. Captain offers all exclusive trips including lodging, meals, and all tackle. Fly to New Orleans and rent a car for the 90 minute drive to Venice. On August 8, my brother Bill and I flew to New Orleans for 4 days of fishing bull reds. The bite was reported to be slow the past few weeks due to large amounts of rain and cooler than normal water temperatures. We fished plastics such as Havoc Sickfish and Storm Seeker Shads behind Blabbermouth popping corks. The bite was tough the first 1 1/2 days with a few hours lost motoring into the reeds to wait out thunderstorms. Keith motored to Redfish Bay and we were greeted with numerous bull reds. The follow day we again motored back to Redfish Bay, dodged thunderstorms, but caught some good bulls. Our last day, Friday, was met by an all day thunderstorm so we decided to cancel. In all the numbers were down but Capt. Keith still managed to put us on some big reds. I am convinced with a few days of hot, calm days the bite will be on. Venice offers world class fishing at a fraction it costs for International trips. Book now as Keith has a few openings in prime weeks.
