Chad Rudolph

Member since August 2015 Venice, United States
Background
Born into and raised by a family of fishermen in Venice, LA, Captain Chad has always been on the water growing up. Despite this, he claims that every trip is like his first day on the water. He wants you to experience why he's a fishing guide – that is, to put you on fish and to enjoy the beauty of the Mississippi Delta and the Gulf of Mexico.
Techniques
Seasonal live shrimp/croakers for big trout and bull redfish. Carolina rig for rig fishing snapper. Popping cork for inland fishing trout and young redfish. Pogies/dead shrimp for rig fishing.

The red snapper / redfish combo

Brad, his son and friend were overly excited about just fishing red snapper most of the morning. They did. They couldnโ€™t believe how fast and easy it is to catch red snapper. Tossed in some biguns but they were so satisfied no matter the size. Limits of nice slot reds inland and they were some very satisfied customers. Gonna do it again in the morning with my new friends.

Larry and โ€œEโ€ ordered up a big trout, reds, and snapper day. Tripled up with two of the best anglers for all three limits of these species. โ€œEโ€ topped us all on the artificial for the trout. All trout were 18โ€-19โ€ without having to toss one back 20 or over. Reds were eating the 4 horseman and the snapper piece of cake. I have a few days open this week then Iโ€™ll be back in full action for a while. Hard to believe Ethan is graduating this year. Seems like yesterday he was a little guy taking his baseball buddies on my boat taking on bull reds! Go big โ€œEโ€!! Another great day and thankful to fish with them again.

Cousin Adam brought his boss, workers, friends for a trio combo, worked for em today. First day back from vacationing making the best known spots for the conditions. Snapper and reds took a bit, and the sheepshead gave a show down. Nice 4ft alligator gar cleaned up for Louisiana best known garfish balls. Add some bull reds, jack crevalle. Full day fun day fishing Venice La. Thankful for another one with some fun guys with Adam.

Michael Boleware back for some more red snapper. Any additional fish would be just a little extra bonus. We did get a little extra on some sheepshead, trout and reds. Shark played with the wrong line and got caught! Good box of fish, fun day with Mike again and friends.
