About Us
We always refer to what we do as "Catching not Fishing".
My name is David Stevens, fishing has always been my passion from an early age. A dream of mine has always been to share what we do here in South Louisiana with folks that can appreciate the wonders of our area. We fish inshore near and around Venice Louisiana where fishing is a way of life for many. Our motto is we go "Catching, not Fishing" Our goal is for you to have time of your life, catching Redfish, Speckled Trout, etc.. Leave the work to us, we find them and you just have to catch.
