Captain Shawn fishes out of the Lake Borgne, Biloxi Marsh, and Delacroix areas of Louisiana chasing redfish and speckled trout. He has had a love of fishing and the outdoors before he could walk. Captain Shawn grew up in Louisiana and is an Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America. An avid fisherman and family man, Shawn loves to take families fishing. Shawn also partners with pro fisherman and Youtube Fisherman to teach anglers how to catch redfish and speckled trout in Sportsman's Paradise. Fishing with Shawn is not a timed affair and Captain Shawn believes experiences should not have a time limit. He only books one charter a day to give his clients his full attention. Let's go catch some memories!!!

When I tell you a time was had!!! We had a group of 6 so we teamed up with Capt Shawn and Capt. Chad. The laughs started within 10 minutes of arriving to the dock! Both captains were very experienced, knowledgeable, hospitable and definitely made sure they put us in the best spots to catch fish!! We hooked multiple bull reds, speckle trout, sheepsheads and drum!! Definitely will be booking again very soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
