About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Brad for an epic day Exploring the lushes Louisiana marshland chasing down Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, Black Drum and Flounder that call these abundant tidal waters home.

Aboard Captain Brad's 24' Blazer Bay you can expect to use a variety of live baits and artificial bait to attack his favorite honey holes, or stalk his favorite shallow water estuaries to sight fish.

Whether you choose a full or half-day adventure you can
expect to target Redfish, Flounder, Black drum, and Trout as you explore the beautiful tidal marshes and backwater rivers. Longer trips give you exponentially better odds at catching both more and bigger fish, because you will have more time to explore different areas and find where the bite is hottest.

Captain Brad will provide all you need for a great day of fishing the tidal bayous and bay area of the Southern Louisiana waterways including all the tackle, bait, coolers, ice, water, and safety equipment. Everything you could possibly need for a safe, enjoyable, and successful adventure. He will also clean and bag your catch for you at the end of the day.

All he recommends you bring is your weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, non-marking shoes, snacks, personal beverages of choice.
