The September issue of Louisiana Sportsman features three of my articles with supporting photography. I had fun working with Captain C.T. Williams III on Mr. Gone, Captain Theophile Bourgeois on In The Bag and Captain Jack Payne on Gold Rush.

1. Mr. Gone – With the closing of the MRGO in St. Bernard Parish, I got in the boat with Captain CT Williams with Team Big Fish to see just how the new rock dam is changing fishing out of Hopedale and Shell Beach.
    
2. In The Bag – The typical cajun-style Cast-and-Blast is totally dependent upon ducks being around. Captain Theophile Bourgeois with Bourgeois Charters has figured out that the shooting part of a Cast-and-Blast is a lot more consistent with pen-raised quail.
    
3. Gold Rush – Since I’m not a huge fan of fishing gold spoons for redfish, I accepted Captain Jack Payne’s invitation to see them in work on the water out of Sweetwater Guide Service and Marina out of Delacroix. Payne put my son and me on a hot spoon bite, and made me change my tune about spoons.
