Ever since Captain Zach was a young kid, he has spent the majority of his free time fishing and hunting. Now an experienced boat Captain with extensive knowledge of large boats, bay boats, shallow water boats, and air boats, he gets to spend almost all of his time in the outdoors! As a result, he basically knows the Gulf and in-shores of South Louisiana like the back of his hand. He can take you to the best fresh or salt water fishing holes. Safety is the number one priority – catching fish is second on his list. When you fish with me, bring positive energy and humor, and I guarantee you'll have a great time!

Captain Zach is First Aid, CPR, and AED certified. He has his merchant mariner license and is US Coast Guard approved.

About Your Trip

Experience the world-famous fishing waters of Southern Louisiana with Captain Zach and discover why this region has earned the nickname "Sportsman's Paradise." From winding marshes and shallow bays to productive shorelines and grass-filled estuaries, these waters offer outstanding opportunities to target some of the Gulf Coast's most popular inshore species.

On this trip, you'll focus on chasing Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and, when conditions line up, Flounder. Southern Louisiana's vast network of marshes and
coastal waterways provides ideal habitat for these fish year-round, creating a fishery known for both quantity and quality. Depending on the season, tides, and weather conditions, Captain Zach will put together a game plan designed to maximize your opportunities throughout the day.

Whether you're casting along marsh edges, working points and drains, or targeting deeper channels where fish concentrate, you'll get to experience the variety and excitement that make Louisiana inshore fishing so special. Captain Zach uses his local knowledge of fish movement, tides, and seasonal patterns to stay on productive water and keep anglers in the action.

You'll be fishing aboard a 24-foot Blue Wave powered by a Yamaha 300 HP engine, a versatile and comfortable vessel perfectly suited for navigating Louisiana's expansive inshore waters. The boat provides a smooth ride, plenty of fishing space, and the ability to access a wide range of productive fishing areas throughout the day.

To make things simple, Captain Zach provides everything you'll need for a successful trip, including bait, ice, rods, tackle, and fuel. All you need to bring are your favorite snacks and drinks, sun protection, and a camera to capture the memories.

Whether you're an experienced angler looking to explore Louisiana's legendary marshes or a newcomer eager to experience one of the best inshore fisheries in the country, Captain Zach is ready to show you what makes these waters so special. Come spend a day in the Sportsman's Paradise and enjoy an unforgettable Louisiana fishing adventure.
