If you're planning on fishing in Southeast Louisiana and are looking for a top-notch fishing charter, come fish with the best! Whether you're just visiting the New Orleans area and looking for an enjoyable family outing, or a dedicated angler hoping to bag a trophy, Captain Mike has got you covered. On the day of your trip, you will be fishing out of Captain Mike's fish out of a 26' Caymas hybrid bay boat powered by a 300 Mercury. This shallow-draft fishing vessel is ideal for inshore angling, and you'll be able to maneuver around the marshes, channels, and flats with ease. Throughout spring, summer, and fall Captain Mike likes to target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Tripletail, Sheepshead, and Flounder. During certain seasonal months, he also goes after Snapper and Cobia! Starting in early spring he switches his focus to the southern edge of Delacroix, north hitting deeper marshes and channels and targeting Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. As the waters warm up, he will move further out, chasing the bait from Delacroix to Hopedale to Shell Beach. This allows him and his clients to get on some great Speckled Trout and Redfish bites! As water temperatures rise in the springtime, the action takes him to cleaner waters in search of large schools of Speckled Trout, plus tons of Flounder. Once water temperatures reach a certain level, he likes to go further out to the outer marshes and surrounding areas. This is where he goes to target Bull Reds, Speckled Trout and Tripletail! When you book a trip, you can be confident that Captain Mike will do the utmost to put you on some of the best fishing of your life! Southeast Louisiana isn't called the "Sportman's Paradise" for nothing, and the fishing here is truly legendary. Get out there and have the time of your life with Captain Mike! Read More

trip description for Morning Big Group Excursions in Lafitte

The inshore flats in Southeast Louisiana are some of the best fishing grounds in the world. Join Captain Gavin and explore this marshy maze all day, searching for Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout in hidden holes. These fish are exceptionally tasty and can be caught by anglers of all experience levels. Since Captain Gavin’s 32’ Aluma Marine can fit up to 10 guests, this trip is the perfect opportunity to gather with family and friends for a day on the water! If you choose, Captain Gavin is happy to clean and cook your catch for you, at an additional fee of $30 per person. The spacious deck aboard the vessel allows many lines to be cast at once, so fish can pile up in the icebox. There is also a large cabin with air conditioning whenever you want to take a break and cool down. The Louisiana heat is no joke! To avoid the heat you should bring plenty of water as well as appropriate clothing and sun protection. You also might want some snacks so you don’t get hungry during the full day on the water. Captain Gavin will provide everything else you need including rods, reels, light tackle, and bait. He is an experienced guide who will take you to the right fishing holes, meaning this could be the trip of a lifetime! Read More
