Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} New Orleans advice

Hey Art, I don't have much intel on specific freshwater locations, but the canals hold carp and I'm sure bass. And alligators. I have also seen people fishing in City Park. I'm sure there's bass in there. And alligators. The guides might be able to nudge you in a freshwater direction if you so desire. I know at least a couple of them go after carp (on their own, not guiding) on blowout days in the marshes or if they don't have a client..

But, I assume you're staying in downtown New Orleans. In that case, your best alternative is to head on over to French 75 or Napolean House and enjoy a sazerac, then hit Mother's for a poboy.

Heading for redfish in New Orleans.
Was wondering about alternatives if the weather in the marshes gets bad and trip gets canceled.

Is there any other fishing and guides in the area? Bass, etc. that anyone can provide advice on?

Thanks,

My apologies. I'll move it over and delete the old one.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guided Trip Sept/Oct

Both guides look great and the schoolie action sounds like it would be great fun as a beginner. It also sounds like there's a possibility for some fish busting bait on the surface. You can't beat an explosion of water, so I'm all in. Let's see what my dad thinks. I'll be looking to book something soon, but will see if anybody else has other recommendations.

Hi all, My dad wants to take a guided trip sometime in september/early October this year. He is a god awful fly caster, but would like to dabble and fall back on spin if it's not working out.

Anyway, we could do a smallie float on the Shenandoah or James, but we both are quite competent at finding them by ourselves. He is interested in salt, but I am supremely unfamiliar with it, especially in the fall. We would love to stick to VA, Southern Maryland, or the Outer Banks.

Are there any recommendations for fish to seek out, and guides to put us on them?

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge and the willingness to share.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Anyone Need a Raft?

Not sure exactly how old it is. I've had it for around 5 years or so. I'm guessing 8-10? The bar over the front holds the casting platform off the bottom of the raft. There is a thigh brace that mounts to it as well. It's a pretty solid setup, not rocky at all. The casting platforms in the front and rear are key so you don't have to stand on the inflated floor. Works great for solid footing.

Let me know if you need any other info.

Looks like a pretty rocking setup.

I have to part with my raft. Here are the details:
Star Raft with custom fishing frame. The raft is a 13 foot, self bailer and has casting platforms in the front and rear for anglers. Not used at all last year and only twice the year before, so I need it to go to a good home. I'm selling it complete with the oars, anchor, and anchor line. The Cataract Oars sell for about $450 and a comparable frame is $650. A new raft will run you over $3k without the frame, oars, or anchor/anchor line! I have it posted to Craigslist if you want to take a look. I included a quick pic since I pulled it out today and cleaned it off.

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Guided Trip Sept/Oct

It's my absolute favorite time of the year to fish the middle Chesapeake Bay! And he won't need to cast far with a fly. I use Gary Neitzey out of Kent Narrows: 410-937-8753. It's only about an hour from DC. Schoolie stripers will be the primary target. You may still get some blues mixed in. It's a great trip on fly or spin.
