Launched out of Golden Meadow, Louisiana to target redfish. We fished the marsh hitting points. Didn't have much luck. So I changed tactics to look for deeper moving water with structure. We free lined live minnows into the structure and pulled out 25 redfish. All redfish caught 16" to 27".
Day 2 of the trip we decided to go after some bull reds. So we cast netted live mullet then traveled to the mouth of a deep cut that empties into Lake Raccourcie. Used cut mullet on bottom and caught 5 bull reds and a few bull sharks. After half of the day spent on fighting bulls we decided to head back to the spot we caught and released all the slot redfish the day before. We showed up and found the slot reds right where we left them.

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...

MY TRIP WAS PERFECT. The weather was terrible and my guide, Nick kept in touch with me to plan the perfect launch time. He patiently waited it out with me and we loaded the ice chest with trout! I would highly recommend booking with Frank again. I'll always ask for Nick!

Captain Daryl was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and laid-back. He made our fishing trip beginner-friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we caught the fish we were after. We reeled in every species you’d want during our inshore adventure! His teaching skills were top-notch, and he never once made me feel inadequate due to my lack of fishing experience. Plus, he had a great sense of humor that kept us laughing throughout the trip. Best fishing trip I’ve been on! I can't wait to go fishing with him again!

Mr. Daryl is the first charter I've ever taken, and I would not hesitate to book him again. From the first minute you meet him, he's cutting up with jokes and makes you feel like you've known him for a long time. He quickly put us into a steady supply of HUGE trout. Not a single one had to be thrown back. Can't wait to do this again.
