Here's what our customers are saying... |
7/3/09 Danny, I didn't get the chance to meet you on the morning
of the 2nd but your wife rented me the kayak and I had a great time despite the heat. I caught my first and only red! Nearly
30"! Huge pig almost pulled my fly rod out of my hands. I had the drag cranked down and did not expect that first run.
I am guessing a 12lb + fish? Pulled your kayak out to the no wake buoys before I knew what happened. Just close to your place
there towards the fisheries bldgs. at the second marsh point against the bank. He wasn't tailing as far as I could tell as
the tides were high. But I saw several who were later, paddled to them and put them down sad to say. But what a great fish.
Thanks. Chad T. Cox
5/31/09 Dear Captain Danny and Kristen, Thank you for a
memorable fishing adventure. We had some delicious trout for supper tonight. We're e-mail subscribers now so we'll know what
you all are up to. Looking forward to next time. Martin and Gina Lanaux
I just wanted to say thanks for
the great day of fishing we had with you last Friday. The hospitality you and your wife showed, is a true testament of what
a real guided trip is supposed to be like. I look forward to getting some people together, and booking a trip with you real
soon. Kristen, a special thanks to you for remembering about me not liking CHEESE, little details
like that is what keeps people coming back. Thanks again for the good time!!!! Jamie

Hi Danny and Kristen, We just wanted to say thank you again for the most
fun I have had fishing in a long time. I know it is the most fun that Matt has had since it was his third fishing trip
ever. The Kayak fishing is everything you promote it to be, a pure fishing trip with out all the distractions that
are inevitable when fishing out of a motor boat. I know we were able to get to places that you could never get
to with a bigger boat. Even with the wind blowing, I think that we had an excellent trip, 9 redfish, 30 specks, and
2 big flounder - Captain Danny, you did a great job and were an excellent host, maybe next time Matt can catch his big red!
I would recommend a kayak trip to anyone that wants a little adventure along with a great fishing experience. I was
apprehensive about how sore I would be the day after the trip, but even though we paddled a lot, I wasn't the
least bit sore, catching 2 big redfish back to back had more affect on me than the paddling. The hospitality
that both Danny and Kristen showed us was outstanding and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We will be back
soon, hopefully in time for the big trout that are coming. Regards, Rick

Danny and Kristen, I wanted to thank the both of you one
more time for allowing Michael, Alex and I to stay with you this past weekend. We all greatly appreciated your hospitality
and kindness. I saw some
pretty good action, catching 6 reds but keeping 4, all on a golden weedless spoon. Michael and Alex caught 1 or 2 a piece.
We are all looking forward to making a return trip to the same area one time, I found where we were on Google Earth and I
can see plenty of other areas ready to explore in the same general vicinity. (who knows if they are posted or not though,
we'll see) Thanks again
and hope to see yall again sometime, Bill McCollister
Hello Kristen and
Danny! We had a wonderful time last Monday on our ecotour. Attached is a link to the photo gallery, however, I'll probably have a Grand Isle
page pretty quick. http://KellyChitwood.smugmug.com/gallery/4557299_92ASy#P-1-15 I wanted to thank you and your husband for the trip, the calendars and information about
south Louisiana. Wonderful! Today, Emma drew a picture of dolphins and pelicans and herself in a boat. The
tour made quite an impression on her. That's money
well spent in my book. All the best, Kelly Chitwood Camden, AR
Capt.
Danny Wray,
Wanted
to write you and thank you for the wonderful day that my father and I had a few weeks ago. It was my dad’s first
chance to catch a Louisiana Redfish and I really think that he enjoyed it. He mentioned coming back and doing it again
next time he was down. I just sent him the link to your website so that he could see the video of the trip that you
posted (I got a kick out of seeing it on your website as well). We had a great time and look forward to coming back.
You put together a fine fishing trip for us!
Best Regards, Scott Frank

John, Becky and the Staff from Pack and Paddle in Lafayette, LA joined us for a weekend of fun, fishing and kayaking recently.
Read an excerpt from John's Blog below or Click here to read the full story in John's Blog of Nov. 12 from the trip and check
out Pack and Paddle's website for more information!
"Those Florida guys come over here and fish a tournament and they'll tell you
'we got the pretty water, but ya'll got the fish'". No sooner had those words come out the mouth of our  guide Danny Wray than a big redfish hit Becky's line. The reel whined with that high pitch sound of line being stripped
by a big strong fish. Becky pulled up on her rod and I watched with (just a little) jealousy as it bent almost double. Her
screams of delight were so fun to watch. Danny said mid-fight "you gotta quit smilin' so much!". That wasn't
going to happen. .... We fished the edges of the marsh grass in the coves and pockets that the irregular surface
creates. I was popping my cork, distracted by some birds flitting in the marsh grass when a redfish slammed my line and took
it on an abrupt path out towards the middle of the channel - the reel screaming as the fish steamed away from my kayak. I
was shocked that I was actually catching a fish. Especially a fish bigger than a bream. I am famous in my family for catching
small fish. I've actually caught fish that were not a whole lot bigger than the minnow we were using for bait today! But
this time, I was on the other end of the line from a the biggest fish I've ever caught in my life. I have to tell you
- it was so fun. Wow.
