Ride the Bull 15 is 2 weeks away in Grand Isle. This thing has been the world’s largest kayak fishing rodeo for over 10 years! When Capt Danny started this thing he said that he wanted it to be the Woodstock of Kayak fishing - and it is. The highlight of Louisiana fishing & the kayaking community. Come see us Ride The Bull Kayak Rodeo August 28 & 29!
