Background: I grew up fishing for Redfish and Speckled Trout on the Mermentau River where I still live today. I always loved the fight of a Redfish or the head shake of a Speckled Trout on the end of my rod. I shared a many of days fishing with friends and family and always shared my knowledge with them. A friend of mine was a guide who knew my passion for fishing. He talked me into getting my license. I got started in 1997 and enjoy it each day that I can get on the water catch fish and share my experiences with others.
Techniques: I fish the Mermentau system when conditions are right. Redfish are very abundant with little fishing pressure. When the conditions are right Speckled Trout can be caught up and down the river and along the mouth at the Gulf. Plastics and topwater baits are my preferred techniques. The good thing about guiding on the Mermentau is that I am the only guide that fishes that system. You will seldom see other boats. I also fish the Calcasieu system, which is some of the best Trout waters around. I love fishing topwater for trout during the winter and the spring.
