Southwest Smorgasbord

John Felsher, sports writer, came to Hackberry to fish and obtain information about the different kinds of fish and fishing that we had to offer. One of the fruits is this article in the Louisiana Sportsman magazine featuring Fishing Tom Guide Service.

Calcasieu Reef restoration documentary

I was asked to take out a biologist and a videographer out to different locations to shoot footage for a documentary.

Fire Up The Grill!

This catch is definitely heading to the grill soon. Grilled Redfish is one of my favorites!

Sheepshead!

All my customers and everyone on Lake Calcasieu know how much I like Sheepshead. They are so fun to catch and great to eat. In Louisiana there is no size nor any number limit on sheepshead. Most guides on Lake Calcasieu consider sheepshead a trash fish, but not me. During certain times of the year, I actually target sheepshead. I’ve been called the Shephard of Lake Calcasieu because I keep the sheep.

Green Trout (Bass)

Just to chance things up a little, we ventured off to waters with a little less salinity. We found a pot of green gold. The Bass were everywhere and hungry. We boxed a 5-man limit of Bass. Nonstop action!
