Dalton Guidry Golden Meadow, Louisiana Reported: 3 years ago

Launching out of Golden Meadow, Louisiana. Back to back charters. Both groups agreed to go target some redfish, so we loaded up the boat and embarked on our journey. Started fishing dead shrimp 26" under a four horseman cork. Working oyster beds and old camps. Both groups made quick work, bringing in redfish after redfish. On both trips, we had our state allowed limits at 10 am. We would then work more old camps along Grand Bayou Blue catching sheepshead and reds. Once the bite stops at one location, we would switch from popping cork to free line. Free line would give us an opportunity to get lower in the water column where more fish would be. Most of our redfish were 16"-18" (perfect eating size). Both groups left happy and excited for their next marsh adventure!

The trout fishing around Grand Isle has entered our typical summer time pattern. Large trout can usually be found near our beaches when Mother Nature cooperates while larger numbers of smaller trout can be found on many of our inland reefs. Like everywhere else in the SE, it's getting hot...

Ryan was very welcoming with us and accommodating to us. He kept us fishing in some windy waters and was patient with the mistakes made due to the wind. We caught some redfish and some drum to fillet out. Will definitely book another trip with Ryan.

Mark did a great job and knows the area well. I brought my 3 boys (7, 10, 15) and Mark was patient, hospitable, knowledgeable, prepared and hard working. We caught a variety of species and had a great time. We would go back again with Mark!

Captain Ron was an amazing guide. He was funny and joked with us the whole time and he made it seem like he was a friend taking us to fish rather than a random guy who has a boat. We had two boats for the trip and there is not one negative thing to say about either guide. I’d tell anyone to book with Ron if they were fishing in Louisiana 10/10 times.

Jason worked hard for us in difficult circumstances…very windy and choppy. Regardless, we had a great time and he was able to find a spot that got us into some fish. Highly recommend him and his bait to anyone.

Shrimping with Captain Daryl was an excellent experience. Daryl went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable experience. He provided us with everything we needed to catch the shrimp. This was a GREAT EXPERIENCE, Captain Daryl is top notch and I highly recommend using him for your future trips.

Trip: Shrimp Trawling Adventure
★★★★★
Outstanding tour! I learned quite a bit from Daryl. From beginning to end, I got some "hands-on" experience on what it's like to catch shrimp. I will not ever forget it. This tour is a definite must for everyone that wants to learn about the art of shrimping. This event gave me more appreciation of the hard work the men and women do daily in shrimping!
