Searching for a real adventure? Vermilion bay is a huge body of water bordered from the Gulf  pf Mexico by South Marsh Island, a 22 mile long by 10 mile wide island with bayous and marsh banks that stretch for miles. There are many days, especially during the week where you are unlikely to see another boat all day. This is truly a unique and remote fishery! South Marsh Island offers a massive expanse of bayous, creeks, canals and oyster beds full of habitat for Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead and Black Drum.
