Annual Venice Rendezvous for Giant Bull Redfish

Annual Redfish Rendezvous at Venice Camp with friends Gary Clark, Jeff Stagg, Captain Keith Kennedy and Lulu.




If I asked you to look back to the June 2015 report for this same trip (actually only a few posts back) you would quickly draw two conclusions:

1. This less than semi part time blogger has all but abandoned blogging over the past year (we're going to correct that going forward) and,

2. The similarity of this current report to the June 2015 report.

It's true, fishing and catching was much the same. Numbers were down a bit this year due primarily to local weather systems curtailing our time on the water. Other than that, all things considered, a trip to Captain Keith Kennedy's Camp is always a highlight to the summer fishing season. Great food, great friendships and usually great fishing are the staples of Born To Fish Charters with Captain Keith.


Gary, David, Jeff & Lulu

Here's Gary's report:


"Just returned from another great redfishing trip with Capt. Keith Kennedy of Born to Fish Charters in Boothville, LA.  Fished for 3 days with good friends, Jeff Stagg and David Fields.  First day was simply outstanding with 53 bull reds over the side of the boat.  Most were 20 pounds or more and Jeff had the day's biggest at 31 pounds.
The next 2 days we dodged storms but managed to put an additional 25 in the boat, topped by David's beautiful 36 pounder.  Top two baits were clearly the El Grande saltwater fluke Boom-r-Ang in Foxy Freddie color and the large Bomber Mud Minnow in black/chartreuse tail.  Redfish are in their summer pattern and when you get on a school you can drift for miles catching one right after another.  The Captain has had some unusual cancellations due to illnesses and our friends can grab a trip by calling him as soon as possible."

"Unbelievable Day of Fishing " A Glorious Day For Sure!

The email started "Unbelievable Day of Fishing." I get these often from fellow anglers, lodge or boat owners and captains . . . News Flash…Great Fishing! You've received them as well, I'm sure. But every once in a while one pops in your in box and it's the Real Deal! The following is one of those Real Deal Reports from Captain Keith Kennedy. 

A Glorious Two Days For Sure!


Day One . . .  Unbelievable Day of Red Fish Fishing!


       "FISHING NEWS..... Today can only be described as  a, " unbelievable day of fishing ", A Glorious  Day For Sure..... Fished with four fellows from the great state of Georgia..... We started fishing at 7am and stopped fishing at 1pm, six hours total..... In six hours they boated #130 Bull Reds, average weight 20 lbs. ..... Total fish weight range was between 16 lbs. and 31 lbs..... I'll do the math for you..... This equals one fish landed every three minutes..... Previous record was # 109 fish in 2010..... "

DAY TWO



 "2nd day total was 108, for a two day total of # 238 !    
 Best two days of fishing in ten years !"
Capt. Keith    Born To Fish Charters" 


Now that's CATCHING' . . .
I've been suggesting these past few summer months that the fishing around the Delta was Hot. If you want to experience some of the best fishing for Giant Bull Redfish contact Captain Keith for availability.

Hot Summer Reds . . . Redfish That Is!

The Outstanding Redfish Action Continues around the Delta!


What else can I say? But these last several reports so clearly describe the fishing in the Delta area this summer. Perhaps the best is the old school saying’, “When it’s Hot . . .  it’s Hot!” Whether it’s the weather or the Redfish bite . . . the time is right!

Mike Loyd, George Burns and friends fished with Captain Keith Kennedy, Born to Fish Charters last week and report they had another great trip with The Captain!


“David,
Wanted to share a few shots of the fish we caught the past three days with Captain Keith.  A great three days of fishing.  Between  two boats we averaged about 24 catches per boat per day with our largest Redfish being 32lbs.”  __Mike Loyd 



Steve Oliver from Decatur, IL. Steve def got in on some Redfish Heat!




So here is a tidbit for those who can act Real Fast. The Captain had a cancellation and the last week (as of this moment) of August is available for an arrival on August 24 or 25. This won't last long. If you're ready for some "Redfish Heat", call the Captain . . . Real Fast!
