About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Nick for an action-packed day of fly fishing in the Louisiana inshores! Delacroix provides easy access to productive marshes and bays perfect for catching some tasty Gulf fish on the fly.

On this 6-hour trip, Captain Nick will guide you through the vast marsh land and bayous that New Orleans, Delacroix, and St. Bernard have to offer as you watch cranes and other migratory birds fly up from the grassline and alligators storm off their perch on the bank while on your way to your fishing destination. He will put you in the best location to fish the rich marshes of the Louisiana delta for reel-stripping gamefish!

Once the destination has been reached, Captain Nick will demonstrate numerous tips and strategies to make sure that you catch fish. You'll be fly fishing for Black Drum, Flounder, Freshwater Drum, Largemouth Bass, Redfish, and Speckled Trout. Captain Nick will make sure you and your guests are well taken care of and get to experience a trip of a lifetime!

You'll be aboard a 24' Blazer Boats center console with capacity for 2 guests. Powered by a 250 HP Mercury engine, this vessel is designed for traversing the inshores and will do it with ease! She comes equipped with a Minn-Kota trolling motor, dual Power-Poles and a Kenwood sound system to make your day on the water productive and enjoyable.

Captain Nick will provide all rods and reels, terminal tackle, live and/or dead bait, fuel, fish cleaning and bagging. All you need to bring is a Louisiana fishing License, any food or drinks you may need, sunscreen and bug spray, appropriate clothing and an ice chest to bring home your catch. Come aboard with Captain Nick and come home with some tasty meals!

For starters, he is a local native that grew up fishing and hunting the honey-holes in and around New Orleans, Louisiana. He has been a full-time fisherman since he was first introduced to the sport at the age of 3 and has been a professional New Orleans fishing guide for over 15 years.

For Captain Nick, fishing is his passion in addition to being his full-time career, and he likes to say, "I will devote my heart and soul to making sure that you and your guests have the trip of a lifetime." Customers have respectfully complimented in the past that “one will be hard-pressed to find a guide that knows marshes and bayous of New Orleans better than Captain Nick.” Having this experience is crucial in making absolutely sure you have a safe and fun-filled day on the water.

So bring your friends, family, kids, and business associates. Shoot, bring the dog if you need to! Everyone is welcome on Captain Nick's boat. It doesn't matter if you're a professional, a beginner, or anywhere between, he'll make sure you have a great time while catching lots of fish. he'll even tell you how to cook them!
