A few trips from last May. My weekends are almost full for May, but I have a few Sundays open. Summer is just around the corner, and the temperatures and fishing will be hot again this year. 
 So far, we have dodged any major rain storms, so the water is good and salty, all the way into the back bays, bayous, and tributaries. 
 I am also offering trips to Louisiana waters this year, which will open up a lot more area to explore and get away from the crowds of summer if you are more of a solitary angler.
  Give me a shout, and let's get some time on the water with you and your loved ones. I have a trip to accommodate most any willing adventure-seeking person, whether you want to try to fill the cooler or just get away and enjoy nature and time away from it all. 
 Little, tall, big or small. I can teach you how to catch em all.
