Venice, LA Monster Bull Red Fishing

Great reports are coming in from Captain Keith Kennedy. Conditions are prime and the early summer bite is excellent!

I'm heading down to the Venice camp early next week with good friends and veteran Redfish anglers Gary Clark and Jeff Stagg. As you can see above, our last trip to the Delta together was pretty outstanding.

That was our first foray out to the bayous and beaches loaded with the new El Grande Boom R Ang. If you look close in the photo's the Boom R Ang was the bait of choice that week. BUT, that was with the "standard bass mix" Boom R Ang plastic. This trip we are armed with the updated "salt water" grade plastic and with some new species specific color combinations. 

I'll be reporting from Venice Camp next week with fresh destination information and a review on the El Grande Saltwater Boom R Ang! Look for reports on the Fishing the Americas Blog.

Good fishin'

Cold Weather...HOT Red Fish Action on the Delta!

Dr. Gary Clark is back at the Delta this week fishing out of Captain Keith Kennedy's camp. Along with Gary are his good friends Dan and Todd Basore, both veterans of Kennedy's legendary Monster Red Fish encounters. Yep, they've traded in lightweight fishing shirts for high collar coats but the Giant Reds don't seem to care about the cooler weather. The action, perhaps a bit slower...23 Reds today to 32#. Not bad!

Late Fall Fishing Report for Venice, La...Fishing is Great!

Captain Keith reports the fishing remains strong for the Big Girls: Fished Nov. 18, 19 and 20 with party of three, Hank Szopinski , his brother Mike and friend Larry Nickels. The first day was windy, North 15 to 20, fished the outside beaches at South Pass with limited success but the last two hours was non-stop action after a school of big girls moved on the beach to feed. The second day we tried another area that I had total confidence in, again we had limited success. Fish seemed to be scattered due to a strong cold front that came through on the 17th. Around 11am decided to make a big move and run 15 miles to an outside bay on the edge of Redfish Bay, BINGO !!!!! Fished late and left the fish biting at the end of the day. The third day we returned to Hole Number Two and the fish were waiting for us ,first cast fish on 28lbs, non-stop action for most of the day. All fish for the trip went between 18 and 34lbs……….

Great Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing Report ~ Rio Negro, Brazil

16 Nov 2010

David,

Sorry I hadn't got to it sooner but wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I really enjoyed my Peacock bass adventure with you to Brazil last month. The trip worked perfectly from beginning to end. No glitches and no problems with great guides and good fishing makes for a fishing trip of a lifetime. I was impressed with the whole operation, the yacht, fishing boats, service and food but especially the guides. You know the angler spends more time with the guides than anyone else and when the guides are friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable it really makes a difference. Yours are! as exhibited by there desire to get you to the fish. I'll never forget CoCo's hacking and chopping with the machete to get us into that lagoon. I had a great trip as evidenced by my 23.5# Monster...but trips are truly great when surrounded by friends, new and old alike. It couldn't have been better and I'm looking forward to fishing with your Amazon Fishing Expeditions once again soon.

Regards and thanks again,

Barker "Kent" Standerfer
