About Your Trip

Join Jacob for an unforgettable day exploring the scenic marshes and winding waterways of Southern Louisiana! Known for their incredible fishery and stunning coastal landscapes, these waters offer anglers the chance to experience some of the best inshore fishing the Gulf Coast has to offer.

Whether you're a seasoned angler or stepping onto a fishing boat for the first time, Jacob's energetic personality and local knowledge make for a fun, laid-back, and productive day on the water. He knows these marshes inside and out and will put you in the best position to find feeding fish throughout the day.

On this trip, you'll have the opportunity to target Louisiana favorites like Speckled Trout, Redfish, and Flounder. The marshes, grass-lined shorelines, and shallow bays provide ideal habitat for these hard-fighting inshore species. Depending on the season, you may also have a chance to battle oversized Bull Redfish, known for their powerful runs and drag-screaming fights. When conditions line up and the migration is underway, anglers may even get the opportunity to target Tarpon, one of the most exciting game fish swimming Gulf waters.

Jacob will tailor the day's approach to current conditions and fish activity, utilizing proven techniques and quality tackle to maximize your chances of success. Every trip offers something different, from sight-fishing shallow marsh ponds to working productive shorelines and deeper channels.

If you're looking for a classic Louisiana fishing adventure filled with action, beautiful scenery, and plenty of opportunities to hook into quality fish, Jacob is ready to show you what these legendary marshes are all about!

Captain Jacob gets 5 BIG stars from my son Tyler and I. We had a fantastic trip with him yesterday. I cannot imagine there is a better fishing guide in the area . He had us on huge donkey red snappers in no time and he took us to many other locations for other species, since we had limited out on red snapper in the first 2 hours of fishing. His boat was immaculate. As a marine surveyor I look at these things as the safety of my son and myself is very important. Captain Jacob has a great sense of humor and makes sure his guests have a great time. Definitely choose him for your trio.

Went out with Captain Davide on June 5,2023. His in depth knowledge of the waters ( fishing he area since he was 9y.o.) really made the difference. We were on fish almost all day. He knew how to target each species and the best place to get them. He organized the day to target species that would keep us reeling fish in. Combination of American reds (15), Tuna(6), and variety of other species . Not to mention the wahoo that broke me off ( Damn near the biggest I ever saw). Ended with a day of heat exhaustion for me, 2 hours of fish cleaning for David, and buying 3 extra coolers for the haul home. Be careful...... There is alot of mean mugging at the cleaning station. Most everyone else got skunked that day.
Thanks Capt. David
