Captain Ty Hibbs
Louisiana
Since he was old enough to stand Captain Ty has had a fishing pole in his hand, whether it was riding his bike to the nearby park, or fishing the banks of the beautiful Lake Pontchartrain. Born and raised in South Louisiana, Ty Hibbs specializes in sight fishing for redfish and jacks. Whether you prefer fly fishing or light tackle, Captain Ty will put you on fish.
With over 250 days on the water per year and being in these marshes since he was a kid, Captain Ty is sure to provide you with not only a great fishing trip, but also a part of the Louisiana marshes that few get to see.

Captain Ty HibbsLouisiana Redfish Sightfishing with Spin/Baitcasting gear
Depending on the time of year, we will fish anywhere from Delacroix to Port Sulpher, Point La Hache and Venice, to the marshes of Houma (Point Aux Chien, Cocodrie, Dularge). We encourage clients of all skill levels to come fish with us. We will have spinning gear on board, but as always, you are more than welcome to bring your own gear with you. Just as the fly fishing that we do, we will be trying to sightfish most of our fish, but if those conditions do not present themselves, we will do some blind casting with a list of things from gold spoons, to soft plastics, to topwater frogs. This is one of the best ways to introduce young children to the world of sightfishing. Our times on the water will also vary depending on the time of year. In the Summer, we like to try and be on the water quite early (6:30-7:30am) due to the immense heat that begins to build throughout the day as well as beat the summer showers that you can almost be sure of some days starting up not long after lunch. In the Winter, of course, it is quite opposite as we are more anxious for the middle part of the day to give us sunlight to warm things up a bit and get those fish active. Through the Fall and Winter we are normally aiming to be on the water for around 6-7am. We do not really go by any set amount of time on the water, but normally get anywhere from 6-8 hours of fishing in each day. That time frame on the water could vary due to things such as rain, tide, extreme cold or heat, etc. Of course our first priority is putting our anglers on as many fish as we can possibly do so while also keeping them in a safe setting.

Louisiana Redfish Fly Fishing
Depending on the time of year, we will fish anywhere from Delacroix to Port Sulpher, Point La Hache and Venice, to the marshes of Houma (Point Aux Chien, Cocodrie, Dularge). We encourage clients of all skill levels to come fish with us. As weather is sometimes unpredictable, we will always have spinning rods in the boat with us if the weather just becomes too bad for the fly rod and can change tactics to better put fish in the boat. Our times on the water will also vary depending on the time of year. In the Summer, we like to try and be on the water quite early (6:30-7:30am) due to the immense heat that begins to build throughout the day as well as beat the summer showers that you can almost be sure of some days starting up not long after lunch. In the Winter, of course, it is quite opposite as we are more anxious for the middle part of the day to give us sunlight to warm things up a bit and get those fish active. Through the Fall and Winter we are normally aiming to be on the water for around 8-9am. We do not really go by any set amount of time on the water, but normally get anywhere from 6-8 hours of fishing in each day. That time frame on the water could vary due to things such as rain, tide, extreme cold or heat, etc. Of course our first priority is putting our anglers on as many fish as we can possibly do so while also keeping them in a safe setting. As for things to bring, you will need; polarized sunglasses, non marking shoes, light waterproof jacket (even on a sunny day, you may get some spray on you from a wave), and if you have your own fly rods and flies, you are more than welcome to bring those. If not, we will have everything you will need for the day. As for drinks and lunch, we are always sure to have plenty of water on board everyday and if you are staying at a lodge, you will receive a lunch from them.

Louisiana Jack Fishing
Fishing for Jack Crevalle is a more seasonal thing than redifish, drum, and sheepshead. Being that they do not tolerate cold or even cool water at times, we do not see them too often outside of the time of April through October. With that being said, my absolute favorite time of year to target these beast are from about the middle of July to the middle of September. Yes, those times of year can be more hot than anything you can imagine, but for the most part, the hotter, the better for jacks. We are on the water pretty early for the jacks as first thing in the morning tends to be best. Jack fishing is definitely for the more "strong willed" angler, especially with the fly rod. They are just a down right mean fish that will drag you around like a rag doll when hooked up. Although there are times we may be able to run into a group of them somewhere and they will eat everything in sight, that is not always the case. What some of the jack trips consist of is some serious running and gunning and making every shot count as these fish can be extremely smart sometimes and outsmart even the best angler on the toughest of days. On average though, when the proper conditions present themselves, we will get a decent amount of shots with the fly rod for shallow fish and get a few fish for you to go into a long and heated battle with. Now it does tend to produce more fish with big spinning gear as we can throw giant tuna poppers and swim baits that jacks will fight you for, so we always have it on board in case someone wants to chase after them that way as well.
