About Your Guide

Jon L.

Outfitter

Come and fish the fertile waters of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana from the upper reaches of the Delta to the mouth of the Mississippi River. We are dedicated to providing clients with adventures of a lifetime, whatever your passion may be. Shallow water stalking of hungry speckled trout and reel-screaming redfish is our specialty, while offshore fishing for tuna, marlin, wahoo, and many other species can also be arranged. Also, fly fishing trips for truly unforgettable battles with hard charging redfish on the flats boats.

We arrange September Teal hunts, as well as November, December and January duck hunts in the legendary Venice area. Or you can bowfish in the shallow duck ponds for redfish, black drum and alligator garfish at night. Truly a Sportsman’s Paradise! Come visit South Louisiana for a couple days and you will enjoy many types of adventures!

Several options and packages are available for lodging and food depending on your needs. We work with other local guides and outfitters and we offer large group bookings and competitive rates

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
