Jon Rucker CCA Star Boat Winner

John Rucker, a resident of River Ridge, LA, got into serious saltwater fishing in 2007. He first learned the seabrook area fishing off the pier every chance he got until seabrook’s closure due to construction in 2010. In june of 2010, days before the closure of seabrook, Rucker caught his biggest trout to date which was a 8.6 pound trout. Any other year, Rucker would have won the CCA STAR tournament but because of the BP oil spill, the tournament dates were delayed. After seabrook’s closure, Rucker fished Grand Isle regularly because it offered great fishing opportunities to anglers without a boat. A couple weeks after catching his 8.6 pound trout at seabrook, Rucker caught another trophy trout. This time it was caught off the bank in Grand Isle and weighed 7.3 pounds which won the Southeast division of the CCA STAR tournament. Rucker went from bank fishing to owning a boat. Now with a boat, Rucker could explore different area’s and focused on Hopedale and other area’s of Lake Ponchartrain. Since he started fishing seriously in 2007, Rucker has landed 5 trout over 7 pounds and 2 trout over 8 pounds. He is known for a fishing setup called the “Rucker Rig” which is simply carolina riggings soft plastics in high current/deep water areas. Rucker loves helping anglers by offering tips and locations to help increase their chances of filling the icechest.

“I cannot say enough great things about these Matrix Shad’s. These baits are INCREDIBLE. I fish many different locations and have yet to find a place that these baits do not work. The action is top notch and you can use them under a cork, on a jighead, carolina rigged, and even freelined under lights at nighttime. I think dockside is onto something big here with these baits.” – John Rucker

 

Captain Devin Denman

“Having grown up fishing the marshes of St. Bernard, Captain Devin feels most at home when he is cruising down familiar waters like Bayou LaLoutre and Baker’s Canal. Today he owns and operates Swamp Stallion Fishing Adventures, where he finds satisfaction in putting his customers on great fishing action. He is a staunch Louisiana patriot and loves his state. Always experimenting with new lures and techniques, Captain Devin found the Dockside Matrix Shad to be an extremely effective tool in his quest for speckled trout. It’s durable and has an action that trout cannot resist. His favorite color is Lemon Head, but has caught fish on a host of other colors as well, to include the infamous Shrimp Creole.

 

Outside of his charter, Captain Devin enjoys writing in his blog, Captain Devin’s Louisiana Fishing Blog. You can visit his website at www.SwampStallionFishing Adventures.com. He can be contacted at 985.788.4963 or contact@swampstallionfishingadventures.com. Most of all, don’t forget to add Swamp Stallion Fishing Adventures on their Facebook.”

Capt. Joe Wronkowski

In 2003, I was stationed in Louisiana were I started fishing for Redfish and Trout.  I took the time learning the Louisiana coast and habitat to make me a better fisherman.  I started fishing the Biloxi Marsh and worked my way to Hopedale and then to Delacroix, where I now keep a boat in a slip.

I retired from the US Marine Corps in 2007 and decided to make Louisiana my home.  I wanted to make chartering a part of my new career.  I received my Charter License in 2007 shortly after retiring and then purchased a 22’ Triton Seafight with a Honda 225 to charter.  The boat is awesome; I can be fishing for Redfish in 12’ water on one day and the next day I am running offshore out of Venice to catch the bigger fish.  The boat provides a dry ride with the state of the art electronics.

I try to fish at least 3 days a week to keep track of the conditions and the ever changing fishing conditions.  In the past I have concentrated on fishing tournaments and in 2011 started getting serious.  My partner (Steve Nick) and I took 3 place in a big Redfish Tournament using the matrix shad for the first time.    The lure had great action and proved to be very durable.  I have been using the matrix shad as the go to bait for my customers with the Lemonhead Matrix being the most popular.
