The water temperatures went from 49.2 to 62 degrees in the span of a week. The fish are very scattered, almost all the shrimp moved out of the marsh and the spawning is in their mind so all this combined makes the "catching " challenging. The good news is with...

In the last 7 days. Catching plenty because of hard work!!! Anglers are complaining about fish being in very odd patterns due to temperatures all over up and down, and atmospheric pressures the same but I am still finding them!!!

With colder temperatures of the waters fish have been moving and staying in schools so when finding fish at the feeding times the bite is non stop

Mackie was a great guide!! Highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a successful day of fishing! The music on the boat was a bonus. He really worked hard to get us on a sheephead, and we endef the day with a nice red!

Mackie put us right on the fish from moment we anchored and guy was on his job as a guide. Then after we put the specks up moved us to a spot where we landed a 40inch red. Definitely booking with him again made memories of a lifetime today!

My wife and I fished with Captain Frenchy. It was a great time and he worked hard to continually put us on fish. Cpt Frenchy is a pleasure to spend time with and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to catch fish and have a great time on the water.

Trip: Trout And Redfish Full Bite
★★★★★
Best charter experience! The captain was very easy to communicate with prior to the day and was obviously looking to provide a great experience. It was easy to see he was also excited when we caught a record breaking red drum and alligator gar plus a numerous variety of other fish. We will definitely be back!

Had a great time with my son and I on this fishing charter. Brad found the fish and we brought in a nice haul. I'd definitely recommend a charter with him.

Trip: Inshore Fishing In Louisiana
★★★★★
We had a good day on the water with Mike! A weather front was moving through the area on our day to fish, so consequently the bite was inconsistent. We were able catch several fish, bringing in 8 fish to clean. The fish we caught were spotted trout and white trout. I was hoping to catch a sheep head and some red fish, but they were not biting that day. The highlight of the day was catching a small stingray. I’ve never seen one in the wild before so that was pretty neat. Of course we had to release him. I have been with many guides and Mike was very professional.
