    Need a few Louisiana redfish/trout guide recommendations

    Looking for a few guide recommendations for our first redfish fishing trip. I’ll be with a friend and my 14 y/o son in Mid-April. Never been fishing in Louisiana and we’re all excited to catch some of the hardest pulling fish I’ve ever caught. My son has never caught a redfish-boy is he in for a surprise! By the way, I picked Louisiana for our trip because after lots of research it seems like one of the best places in the world to catch a ton of reds. Does that sound pretty accurate?

    Thanks for the list, but I’m really looking for recommendations from people who have used or know a specific guide that they liked/would recommend.

    Don't know if he is still doing it, but Darren Haydel (Podna). Was working out of the CoCo Marina.

    Thanks for the recommendations guys. Capt. Charlie would be awesome but it’s a little too much money for me. I received several other recommendations as well that I’m investigating at then moment (Capt Phil Robichaux)

    Call Jon Carter at www.Reelshotfishing.com Doubt you will find a better one out there! They absolutely slay the reds and trout any time of the year. He operates out of Venice. You are making the right choice on Louisiana for sure. His number is 504 615 0614

    Just look them up on Facebook to see all the pics..

    damn-looks like a Great recommendation! But he’s also $750 vs $475. Maybe you get what you pay for. I’ll still give him a call. Definitely looks like an ultra professional fishing guide service.
