My dad is getting older and my brothers and I want to start taking a fun trip every year with him. I am the oldest so I am in charge of booking our first trip. With that being said, I want us all to go fishing for redfish and maybe specks. I've been several times (with a guide out of the Lafitte area), but they have never been. I really would like to go out of the Buras/Venice area on this trip. What is the best time of year to do this and be able to catch a lot of reds? Is there another area that would be just as good as Buras/Venice? Also, I saw the other post with some guides listed - are there any more guides you might recommend to go out with? Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
