Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?

At least a 345 pound grouper that was weighed. I have tagged and released big blue marlins so I wouldn't know the weight of those. As well as some tunas that were not weighed.

If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?

Cobia or Tuna. I have always loved searching for cobias and have always loved the meat as well as a little seared tuna.

How did you get started guiding?

I started working on tug boats very young and fishing out of Grand Isle with my grandparents. I always loved fishing and being out on the water. I have worked on tuna long line boats, tug boats, big yacht sport fishers, and some smaller boats. I always wanted to eventually become a captain and get my own boat so I could share my passion with others.

What makes you different from other guides?

Great with both kids and adults great humor! Very knowledgeable and hands on. I actually built my boat and made it a complete custom boat with all top notch tackle and equipment. We do not charge extra for live bait. I have worked very hard to get and be able to upkeep my boat to provide an amazing experience for my customers.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is the home of over 1500 Damn Good fishing and hunting guides. Our mission is to unlock the outdoors for everyone, and we want to help you get out there through our no-hassle online booking experience and our team of outdoors experts.

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
