We fish and hunt in Venice, Plaquemines Parish, Buras, Empire, Port Sulphur, Point-a-la-Hache, and more! Shane Mayfield and I own and operate Adventure South Guide Service in Louisiana. All of our Louisiana Fishing Trips and Louisiana EcoTours take place in the fertile Mississippi River Delta of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, which is located about 40 miles SSE of New Orleans. Adventure South Guid

e Service offers the finest Louisiana Fly Fishing Trips & Louisiana Light Tackle Fishing Trips Around! Born and raised in the area, I have spent countless hours on the surrounding bayous, bays, and marshes learning the fishing skills that have allowed me to become very consistent when it comes to putting my clients on fish, day in and day out in Louisiana. Call me to go fishing with a knowledgeable Louisiana Fly Fishing Guide. My fishing success is based on my relentless pursuit of, desire for, and dedication to the sport, as well as an extreme enthusiasm for my occupation. After all, "Not everyone can make a living doing what he or she loves; therefore, I realize that I am very fortunate to be able to do. Unlike other so-called Louisiana fishing guide services, when fishing or hunting with Adventure South Guide Service, YOU will catch your own fish and shoot your own ducks. After all, "you pay us to take you to the game, not to take the game for you." Adventure South Guide Service specializes in guiding clientele on light-tackle Louisiana fishing trips for redfish and speckled trout in coastal Southeast Louisiana. On a typical day you will leave the dock at "safe light" and will find yourself running through a maze of bayous, bays, and marshes on your way to one of the many fishing locations in the area. Once arriving at the first "honey hole", you will troll or drift along while casting to grass covered points or over one of the many oyster reefs in the area. These waters are so full of rod bending redfish and tail walking speckled trout that it is not uncommon to catch 100+ fish each day. The action is unbelievable. To put it plain and simple, light-tackle fishing trip for redfish and speckled trout is like "bass fishing on steroids." A 5-lb. redfish will pull a 5-lb. bass backwards and speckled trout will break the water on a topwater lure until they get it. These fish never quit! Come on an incredible Louisiana Fishing Trip With Adventure South Fishing Guide Service!

Just finished up a 3-day Louisiana fishing trip with Jay Webb and his brothers Jack and Mike. These guys have been going fishing in the Florida Keys every Spring for years, but unfortunately, their long-time guide had some health issues and had to retire. On his recommendation, they decided to try something different and come down to fish with me this year. Safe to say, our fishery did not disappoint. They caught bulls (which was there preferred target), trout, black drum, sheepshead, snapper, Spanish mackerel, sharks, and even some catfish for good measure! Lol. These guys were floored by the size and abundance of our redfish, and I was very happy that they got to see what a great fishey we have here in Southeast Louisiana. I was also happy that these guys were more interested in catch and release, and only kept a few for dinner. Catch and release pays dividends. Still habe some scattered days open the next several months if you want to get on the books. You call or text 504-382-2711.

Just catching up on a few photos. Before you know it Summer will be here and these big boys and girls will be stripping line of our light-tackle on a daily basis. If you want to get in on some of the best light-tackle saltwater fishing in the world, now is the time to start thinking about a Summer trip.

Had a couple good days of weather this past weekend and was able to put these guys on a few fish with the long rods. Hunting and then stalking fish in shallow water never gets old and releasing them means that there is a good chance we will see each other again to repeat the cycle. Catch and release pays dividends.

Last week I had Louis and friends over from Dallas for a 2-day Louisiana fishing trip for redfish. We had some rain around both days, but it didn't stop us from getting on the fish. With the river dropping, and the cool weather of Fall just around the corner, I am really looking forward to seeing what our Fall/Winter fishing is going to play out. Still some select dates available.

Last week I had a 3-day Louisiana fly fishing trip through and my buddy David Leake. Days 1-2 were a little tough, not because of a lack of fish, but because the fish were just not very cooperative. Thankfully, day 3 worked out much better and although we did have some fish that wouldn't eat, my angler was able to sight fish numerous fish in the 10 - 25+ pound range. Still have a few dates open before the end of the year, and it's not too early to get on the books for January - February.

I started to put up another post with fish pics this morning, but while scrolling through photos of recent trips, a photo of a rainbow caught my eye. Yes, as a professional fishing guide, my job title dictates that I use all my knowledge and experience to put my clients on the fish, but for me and most of my clients, it is more than just a "fishing trip". Look at the attached photos. I can't make that happen! It requires being in the right place at the right time, and it's not going to happen if you are stuck in an office or have your head buried in your phone. Get outside and enjoy the outdoors every chance you get. You never know what you might see.
