About Your Trip

When it comes to fishing the waters in and around New Orleans, Captain Mike has generations of experience that he brings to your fishing excursion.

Captain Mike Specializes in coastal fishing with light tackle for Speckle Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheephead (Bay Snapper) and a variety of other gulf coast fish as well. Captain Mike is always willing to cater to your species of choice, but will provide the best advice for which bite is hottest that day!

We were able catch several fish, bringing in 8 fish to clean. The fish we caught were spotted trout and white trout.

We were able catch several fish, bringing in 8 fish to clean. The fish we caught were spotted trout and white trout. I was hoping to catch a sheep head and some red fish, but they were not biting that day. The highlight of the day was catching a small stingray. I’ve never seen one in the wild before so that was pretty neat. Of course we had to release him. I have been with many guides and Mike was very professional.

Captain Mike was Professional, Punctual and productive !! I will definitely use him again when I come to New Orleans. He has us limits out in an off season. He did not try to oversell us initially and then totally exceeded our expectations.

To top it off were eating fresh fish less than thirty minutes after we were docked !!

Thank You ! Captain mike
