Louisiana Redfish?

[LostArra]

My son inlaw's father lives in east Texas and is recovering from cancer. I would like to take them both on a fishing trip in Louisiana.

What time of year is best for reds? Or is there a best time?

Any recommendation for guides?

Reds can be can be caught year round and the fall (Sept-Nov) is the best time to catch big bull reds on the coast, and it will also be cooler with any cool fronts coming through.


Sorry, no info on guides as i haven't needed them...I've fished the jetties/marshes/bays around Port Fourchon, Grand Isle, and Pointe-aux-Chenes.

Sportsman’s lodge and dogwood lodge are good options in Louisiana. If you want to stay in Texas, check out bay flats lodge.

Big bull reds are impressive fish, getting them with a fly rod is great and sheepshead with a fly rod is a legit challenge as well.

Staying in Texas is definitely an option
Thanks
