My name is Captain Josh Ellender and I am part owner/operator of Light Tackle Charters, L.L.C. I am from Houma, Louisiana and have been fishing Theriot, Louisiana (Dularge area) since I was 10. My passion for fishing is what drives me to be a fishing guide. Whether site casting for those bronzed back redfish or bringing in two speckled trout at a time, my passion and dedication for fishing is second to none. I have been featured on the World Fishing Network's television shows "Hookin' Up with Nick and Mariko", "Guided" with Mark Melnyk, and a local show "Castin' Cajun" with Tony Fontenot. I have sponsorships from Penn, Spiderwire, Fenwick, Abu Garcia, Columbia, and Shakespeare. The Matrix shad is by far the best plastic bait I have ever used. The toughness and vibrating action of the bait is outstanding. A few weeks ago I put it to the test and it passed with flying colors. I caught over 75 speckled trout on one bait. I have never, and I mean never, had a soft plastic bait last this long. If you have any questions about colors, techniques, or evening rigging the Matrix Shad, then please feel free to ask. Capt.
