Our camp is designed for folks who want to bring their own boat and catch and clean their own fish.  BUT IT CAN BE A LOT EASIER!  Captain David Sylve and Captain Nash Roberts are two of the best around.  There are also other great guides available in Happy Jack, and we are happy to make arrangements for guide services.  Consider taking a professional guide at least one day of your trip.  They can show you a lot of tricks.  Or leave your boat at home and just let the guides do all the work!  THESE GUYS WILL PICK YOU UP AND DROP YOU OFF RIGHT AT THE CAMP. It doesn't get easier than that!

SEASONS

March, April, May and June - These are the best months for comfort, quality and quantity! The brown shrimp start to move back into the shallow marshes from the Gulf and it is a feeding frenzy! Big trout are caught in April and May and the red fish start showing back up in the shallow marsh ponds.

July , August and September - While these months are the warmest of the year, this is definitely one of the better periods to fish. If you don't mind the heat, big schools of trout are in the open bays and daily limits are common. Red Fish are "thick" in the shallow ponds and top water action is at it's peak!

October, November, December, January, February - As the temperatures cool off our fall run of "school trout" begins.  The red fish will also school up this time of year and huge schools of red fish can be see on calm days.  Bull reds are commonly caught in the marshes in large numbers.
