THE
REDFISH SPECIALIST
Fishhunter
Guide Service Inc. is owned and operated by the father/son duo
of Nash Roberts III & IV. Both are college degreed biologists
and full time fishing guides.
Fishunter
is based near Port Sulphur, Louisiana about 50 minutes southeast
of New Orleans, and in the heart of the best redfishing in the United
States.
We operate from our private fishing camp, surrounded by a pristine,
shallow water coastal marsh that extends as far as the eye can see.
Shallow
water redfishing is our specialty. We generally fish in water less
than 2 feet in depth and employ bass fishing "techniques",
i.e. casting spoons, spinners, jigs and top water baits to the edges
of marsh islands and over oyster reefs.
Redfish
are the top of the food chain in the marsh, they eat most everything
and nothing eats them. This leads to an aggressive behavior that
results in rod jarring strikes and explosive action!
Prime
time to fish reds is August through March. Moderate winter time
temperatures in the marsh make for a pleasant escape from the
sometimes bitter cold over much of the nation during the best
redfishing period.
Redfish
average 4 to 8lbs during this period, however trophy "bull"
reds (25-40lbs) are targeted in March and September
