Redfish

My friend Austin Orr and I just returned from my second three day scouting trip to Louisiana this month. It was also Austin’s first time fishing Louisiana. We couldn’t have asked for better conditions. The fishing was off the charts. Austin managed to catch his personal best black drum, sheepshead […]
