About Your Trip

Get ready to explore the rich inshore waters of coastal Louisiana with Captain Mark, where local knowledge and proven techniques come together for an authentic New Orleans fishing experience. On this 6-hour trip, you'll fish the marshes, bayous, and oyster-lined bays that make this region one of the most respected inshore fisheries around.

Depending on the conditions, you might start the day drifting grass beds with popping corks for speckled trout, then move to deeper
holes to pitch jigs for redfish. If the weather lines up, there could even be a chance to sight-cast to tailing reds in shallow water—a challenge many anglers dream about. We’ll also keep an eye out for summer flounder holding near structure, waiting to ambush a well-placed bait.

Captain Mark and his crew bring years of experience navigating these waters, tailoring each trip to your skill level and fishing style. Whether you're new to fishing or have plenty of time on the water, the focus is on making the most of your day, sharing local techniques, and giving you the best possible shot at connecting with the fish.

You'll fish from a well-equipped bay boat loaded with GPS, shallow-water anchors, and tournament-grade gear. All rods, reels, bait, and licenses are included—and your catch will be cleaned at the dock. Just bring your snacks, drinks, weather-appropriate clothing, and a good attitude.

No matter your experience level, this trip is a great way to get out on the water, learn something new, and enjoy the world-class fishing opportunities Louisiana has to offer. Captain Mark will do everything he can to put you in the right spots and give you a memorable day on the bayou.

shallow ponds or drifting oyster reefs for gator trout, he’ll put you in the right spot with the right technique. He fishes year-round, which means he knows exactly when and where to find flounder, sheepshead, black drum, and more.

From first-timers to hardcore anglers, Captain Mark delivers a top-tier Louisiana experience you won’t forget.
