planning a red fishing trip and need some help
Some friends and I are planning a red fishing trip to south ms or louisianna area. I have never been but I am helping with planning it. I was hoping some of you guys have been or know a guide or charter to recommend. we are also trying to get out of this trip as cheap as possible. we would like to stay near our launching area or on location. any help is appreciated. thanks

Check Marsh Masters in Leeville, LA. Or Team Lafite in Lafite, LA. Only guides I've used and those were for bachelor parties. All other times we fish Leeville ourselves. Shouldn't go wrong with either of these two.

Re: planning a red fishing trip and need some help
One think to keep in mind. I did not enjoy catching reds as much as I did catching specks. Catching a nice red is about like throwing a car tire in the water and trying to reel it in. Those jokers are strong and they will wear you out. Getting on a good speck bite is the most fun I have ever had fishing. Just something to think about when booking the trip.

Ill also throw a plug in for CJ Rojas in Lafitte....Awesome guy and straight knows how to fish. He is hooked up with a guy down there that has some houses on the water that he rents out very reasonable as well. 504-416-0094

If you are wanting to go out of Ms, I can help you out. I run trips out of Pass Christian, locally and to the La. marsh for trout and redfish. If interested, give me a shout.

Re: planning a red fishing trip and need some help
Getting a guide will guarantee fish for the most part but you won't come out "cheap" most guides are $600/3 people or more these days.
However while that may seem like a lot of money you aren't going to be looking for fish they will put you on them. It may be worth it. That being said fishing for redfish is pretty easy if you have a decent size aluminum boat for duck hunting WITH a trolling motor you can fish the marsh and find fish.
If you haven't done it before I would recommend a guide. If you want to go to Venice I can recommend several.

Re: planning a red fishing trip and need some help
I would suggest closer to either Venice or DuLarge. Check around to see when is the best time of year for clear water. Whole lot more fun to me to be able to see them and cast to them. If the water is dirty its like bass fishing. That is just my thoughts. It can be some of the most fun you ever had standing up!

Re: planning a red fishing trip and need some help
I'm not going to recommend anyone specific, but there are quite a few guides in shell beach that will put you on 100 specks and 20 reds with good regularity. I understand not wanting to spend a fortune, but think of the time you have invested when you decide to scimp $20-30 per man on the only part of the trip that will actually affect the memories of your trip. You'd do better to scimp on the hotel room or food, or all ride together.
