Ray and friends Corey and Nick fished with Ray's good friend, Capt Gene Dugas and RatherBe Fishing Adventures (www.ratherbe-fishing.com) out of Hopedale, LA. on Tuesday Feb. 23rd. The fishin was tough...temps in the 40's and 50's and steady North winds in the 10-20 mph range. Ray, Nick and Corey had their 5 Redfish limits and released another 50-100 Reds! What a day...not many captains will work as hard for you as Capt Gene!!!! Horrible weather and Gene still found us fish!!!

Ray with the first fish of the day...a great Red! Thanks Capt Gene!!!

Corey, on his first trip into the Louisian marsh...and a GREAT Redfish!!!
