VENICE, LA REDFISH AUGUST 4 TO 6



Fishing.  What exactly is the meaning of "Fishing".  For some, it is a way to get out of the office, spend time away from home, and living the outdoors with family and friends.  For some "Fishing" is a means of survival.  No fish means no meals!  Others use "Fishing" as a way to travel to exotic, new lands in a sense of adventure where no man has "Fished" before.  Webster defines "Fishing" as "the sport or business of catching fish". Some define a successful "Fishing" trip as catching giant size fish.  Others are elated with catching Fish after Fish, while others are happy with just taking a few "Fish" home for a delicious meal. 
On October 3, 2 friends and myself flew into New Orleans to spend a few days "Fishing" with Capt Keith Kennedy of Born To Fish Charters. Keith operates out of the town of Boothville, which is near Venice. Capt. Keith supplies all meals, housing, and fishing equipment.
A few days prior to the trip, Capt. Keith wrote that the "Fishing" was off due to winds out of the SE.  Once in New Orleans, my friends and I rented a SUV and drove to Keith's Camp which is about 1 1/2 hour drive.  The winds were out of the SE so my expectations were not high.  We would motor to the Gulf Area and cast popping corks trailed by Bomber Mud
Minnows.  For the entire trip the wind was out of the east which made fishing tough.  However, we did all land some nice bull reds including a trophy 26 lbs.  So was this a successful "Fishing" trip?  For me getting away from work and being with good friends on the water and catching a few big fish is as good as it gets.  I spend thousands of dollars to fish in the remotest places on earth.  Are these "Fishing" trips always a success?  The answer is "Yes"!  Be happy with any results you get!
Capt Keith Kennedy does his best to put you on numerous trophy bull reds.  His meals are second to none in a very comfortable setting.  Give Keith a call at (504) 908-3108 and have a "Fishing" Trip of a Lifetime!
