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!

Trip: Extended Half Day Fishing Trip
★★★★★
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.
