Gulf Coast Redfishing

[Jay Hake]

Here is a pretty broad question for all of you.  If you were hanging out in Colorado with a significant case of cabin fever and looking for a location for a do it yourself kayak redfishing trip somewhere on the gulf coast, where would you think about heading?

I would call Pete Petre of Ducks Plus hunting lodge outside of Houma, LA, to see if he could set you up with a room.  Pete knows fish, since that is what he does for a day job.  He would tell you where to go and wish you the best, if that is what you wanted.

However, while his place is on the water, it might still be filled with BP folks – I think he cancelled duck hunting for this year once they rented for the entire season.  

In a worst case, he might give you suggestions for where to stay – not many options down in that part of the bayou.  

In a best case, you might end up there when they are cooking ducks on the grill and crawfish in the pot.

you might try Laguna Madre of south Texas.

You’re talking my home water (now far away). Really, I would look at Venice, Louisiana. I don’t know how far this cold is going to reach though – maybe to Louisiana?

Thanks guys,

Do you know if any of these areas have kayak rentals available, if I don’t want to haul a boat?

I don’t do any kayak fishing but the folks at LA fly fishing do and they are really helpful. – http://www.laflyfish.com/.
