Fishing runs through Captain Sean's veins. Born into the trade, it is all he’s known since the age of two. He skillfully learned the ins and outs of the industry while spending every weekend of childhood at the family camp in Delacroix — where his grandpa was a charter captain.

Sean’s unrelenting dedication and a lifetime of experience ensure that if the fish are there, he’ll find them. It’s not enough to just catch fish on Captain Sean’s boat; he won’t be satisfied unless every aspect of the trip was truly unforgettable.

About Your Trip

Get ready to experience the unique marshes of Delacroix, Louisiana with Captain Sean—where chasing Redfish and Speckled Trout is a way of life. Whether you're looking to relax on the water or get dialed in with more technical fishing, this trip offers a versatile, rewarding day outdoors in one of the Gulf Coast’s most productive fisheries.

With a lifetime of experience and a deep knowledge of the local waters, Captain Sean is committed to giving
every guest a solid, enjoyable day on the water. His focus goes beyond simply catching fish—he wants to make sure the overall experience is smooth, fun, and memorable.

Trips typically launch at safe light and run for 6 to 8 hours, depending on the conditions and what the day brings. You’ll explore a mix of bayous, grass flats, and shallow ponds—ideal habitat for Redfish and Speckled Trout. One of the best parts of fishing with Captain Sean is the variety of approaches available. Whether you prefer drifting dead bait, casting artificial lures, or even sight fishing for tailing Reds, the day can be tailored to your interests and experience level.

This is a hands-on, active fishing trip that can suit beginners and seasoned anglers alike. All rods, reels, bait, and tackle are included—just bring your enthusiasm and let the day unfold.

What to Bring:

- Fishing License: All anglers 18 and older will need a valid Louisiana fishing license, which you can purchase online
- Weather Gear: Summer can be hot and sunny, so wear breathable clothing and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. For colder months, dress in warm, layered gear.
- Food & Drinks: Bring along your own snacks, lunch, and plenty of water to stay fueled and hydrated throughout the trip.

If you're looking for a well-rounded day of fishing in one of Louisiana’s top inshore fisheries, this trip is a great choice. Captain Sean is ready to share his knowledge and work hard to help make it a successful day on the water.
