We are catching good piles of fish right now. Mostly caught on artificials both morning and afternoon trips are catching lots of fish as long as it's not storming on us we are catching some fish.

Catching mixed boxes every day. From small to big redfish. Lake is a little muddy and should start clearing up soon. The sheepshead bite is on fire right now as well starting to lots of speckled trout.

Fishing is heating up very quickly we are making boxes of fish every day now. Spring is here and the fish are hungry!

Lots of undersized redfish were caught during this trip. But they had a blast. Super windy day but found clear water and the redfish were munching.

We went scouting for flounder last week and ended up with a box of redfish for dinner. As the weather warms up the fishing will continue to get better.

The past few days have been on fire pre front and post front we have caught fish. Redfish beat down for this family outing. With some flounder and speckled trout. When the weather got warm the bite was crazy. We had two boats for this trip everything was caught on...

It's winter, but you never feel cold when the fishing is hot!

Great time! Captain Tom made my seven year old’s bday a memorable one! Knew all the best spots in Lake Charles. I highly recommend!

Tommy is the man! We fished the tail end of a storm today in not ideal conditions and he put me on em! We stacked up a limit of drum, tons of sheepshead, and two big bull reds in a half day trip (on what he described as an “off day” for Calcasieu. I can only imagine what an “on day” looks like…)

Good guide, knows where the fish are, would have like to see tactical changes made for different species or when the bit slowed down. I’d like to see a variety in the arsenal you know. That’s just me being my hardcore fishing self. My wife loved it because we didn’t have to clean or fuel our boat. I agree it’s nice just being a paying customer. The hard thing for me and being very expirienced is you expect everyone to be like you. Tommy did us right and I appreciate his hard work. I’d use Tommy again and would recommend Tommy to others
