trip description for South Louisiana in Saint Bernard

To the avid Anglers, I always check not only the weather, winds and tides ( or currents) but the atmospheric pressure, therefore will decide which precise locations to fish (and catch). We would launch between the hours of 6am and 7 am depending on the season and of course YOUR wish. I always provide plenty of live bait and of course will have an extensive collection of artificial lures The 3 predominantly used techniques would be -under a popping cork -bottom rig -top water artificial bait There will always be chilled water and soft drinks bottles availability There will be a very nice lunch and snacks provided for the “full day” trips Providing an excellent fishing experience will come with a VERY ENJOYABLE time. I take so much pleasure in what I do! I have fished LOUISIANA Waters for 36 years and can say that They are a blessing not comparable to any others (have fished 3 continents and a multitude of countries) Very cordially 🎣 Read More

Spend the afternoon exploring the saltwater flats of southeast Louisiana! Join Captain Gavin in the twisting marshlands filled with fish just waiting to be caught. The drive from New Orleans is only an hour, so spend your afternoon on a beautiful boat with a line in the water before you return home with fresh fish for dinner. The trip targets the Flounder, Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead that dominate the marshy flats outside Lafitte. These fish are a tasteful delicacy which are even more delicious when fresh-caught. Bring a cooler to keep your catch fresh for the ride home and get them on the grill! You should also bring snacks, drinks, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and a valid Louisiana Fishing License. Captain Gavin will provide everything else such as rods, bait, and light tackle. On board the 24’ Express Bay Boat you will have a comfortable and smooth ride. The 250HP Yamaha engine cuts through the smooth water, taking you to the best fishing holes. Captain Gavin will take you to the best spots quickly since his knowledge of the area is extensive. After spending an amazing day on the water, you can watch the beautiful Louisiana bayou sunset and hit the grill for a delicious dinner!

trip description for Fly Fishing Venice, LA in Belle Chasse

The combination of seemingly unlimited fish and miles and miles of shallow water make coastal Louisiana one of the best-kept secrets in the fly-fishing world. If you haven't heard about Louisiana fly-fishing, it's probably because people want to keep it all to themselves! On this trip, you'll be going after classic inshore species such as Jack Crevalle, Redfish, and Speckled Trout—all on the fly! As with any fly-fishing trip, you will catch slightly fewer fish than you might catch on conventional tackle; however, double hook-ups are basically a certainty on every Louisiana charter trip. On a good day, you can expect to catch 5-10 fish per angler, and on an exceptional day the numbers can reach 20 fish per angler or more. There are also plenty of Black Drum and Sheepshead, both of which will readily take a fly. You'll be out there on Captain Shane's 22' BlackJack center console, which is ideal for fishing the inshore flats, marshes, and shallows. Although he can provide fly rods and reels, it's preferable if you can bring your own so that you can work with the gear you have the most practice with! Shane recommends 8-9 wt. rods and drag-equipped reels with weight-forward floating line and the capacity to hold at least 60 yards of 20 lb. backing. This particular rod and reel combination will allow you to accurately cast a variety of saltwater flies in varying wind conditions and will also allow you to absorb the line stripping run that many of these fish will make when you set the hook. It is also a good idea to bring along a 10 wt. rod and reel combination. The 10 wt. will do a better job handling big (20-30 lb.) redfish or some of the other bigger species such as jack crevalle.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    James is a true captain that has the fisherman in mind at all times. First he knows the area and is safe. He worked hard to get us on fish and we tried several areas before we were successful. He found the fish though and then we stayed to get some in the box. I have been on many fishing trips and James is at the top of my list. He is personable and cares about his clients. If your looking for a quality experienced Captain look no farther than James.

    Had a great day with Seth despite the weather. I was only in town for 1 day and could not reschedule so we decided to go out and make the best of it. We caught a nice 22" redfish on first cast and after a few hours work we had another 22" and a fat 27" redfish in the boat. Seth stayed positive the whole day as we tried different spots and techniques. Will definitely fish with him again, hopefully in better weather.
