Bio: Specializing in Trophy Trout and Monster Bull Redfish!!! Fishing 7 Days a Week 365 Days a Year!!! Born and raised in southeast Louisiana, Captain Dude!!! Dudenhefer has lived most of his life on the bayou. With endless marshes and a vast network of waterways at his doorstep, Dudenhefer could access some of finest year round fishing grounds in the world.And he learned quickly, mastering the marshes from Shell Beach to Hopedale, Delacroix to Point a la Hache. This was his back yard. There were alligators, porpoises, otters, raccoons, nutria, wading birds, pelicans and waterfowl. The wildlife was fascinating - the fishing phenomenal. And still is. In this diverse fishery, Dudenhefer learned how to target and catch redfish, speckled trout, bass, flounder, black drum and sheepshead in the interior/coastal areas. In the nearby offshore waters he found many other incredible species such as cobia, red snapper jack crevalle and grouper. Dudenhefer, began fishing with his father and grandfather when he was just three years old. He soon began working with his father, a commercial fisherman, and then several years later when family owned and operated Dudenhefer's Marina and Convenience Store Inc. With more than 30 years experience, Dudenhefer often gave customers tips on where to find fish - and how to catch them."It was tough having to run the marina while everyone else got to go fishing," Dudenhefer said. "I still fished when ever I could - mostly in the evenings and on weekends."Many customers came to Dudenhefer's Marina and Convenience Store for the fast, friendly service. Buy most of the anglers came for the priceless fishing tips from "Captain Dude!!!."
