This guy may interest you as well. I fish with his buddies in Key West and they are the best guides I’ve ever fished with.

How good is the fishing?..
In the past 12 months, I have caught 3 fish over 50 pounds, 5 fish over 40 pounds, 53 fish over 30 pounds, and 300+ fish over 20 pounds.

I have guided my anglers to five fly rod world records - Conway Bowman’s 41.65 lb fish on 20lb tippet (right), Jim Smith’s 33lb 10oz fish on 8lb tippet, and Dough Behrman’s 3 new world records on 8# tippet (34.8lb), 4# tippet (28lb). and 2# tippet (29.8lb).

My anglers have also accounted for several state records, including Bob Stafford’s 37.8lb redfish, a 41.1lb red caught by Conway (which was also Louisiana’s 2005 Fish-of-the-Year), Tony Kirk’s state record Sheepshead of almost 8 lbs, and Tom Stevenson’s new state fly record Black drum of 56lb (Louisiana’s 2006 Fish-of-the-Year).

Some people gauge the day by the number of fish caught. I gauge the day based on the pounds of fish caught and released. When I boat 6 to 8 fish that add up to 200 pounds in a single day of redfishing, I’m on 'em.

I contacted Uptown Angler last year and used Capt. Shane Mayfield, whose name was supplied by them. He grew up in Port Sulfur which is 40 miles south of New Orleans. Knows the marsh and fish extremely well. Caught the monster red 30#+ along with plenty of 10 - 15#'s, all on the fly. I don’t think you can go wrong with him.
