About Your Trip

When it comes to fishing the waters in and around New Orleans, Captain Mike has generations of experience that he brings to your fishing excursion. Whether going out with the family, retired, or getting the college gang back together, charter fishing in Louisiana is the place to be if you are angling for Speckled Trout, Flounder, or the many Redfish that call Lake Ponchatrain, Biloxi Marsh & all surrounding areas (waterways) areas home, in pursuit of catching a great box of fish.

Captain Mike Specializes in coastal fishing with light tackle for Speckle Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheephead (Bay Snapper) and a variety of other gulf coast fish as well. Captain Mike is always willing to cater to your species of choice, but will provide the best advice for which bite is hottest that day!

Make sure you bring a valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license, food and drinks of your choice, a hat, sunscreen, and an ice chest to take home your day’s catch. Captain Mike provide all of the rods, reels, lures, and fish cleaning so all you have to do is focus on having a great time!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
