About Your Trip

*Fuel Cost to be added when we get back to the dock after the trip****

****Fish cleaning provided by the fish cleaning services at Venice Marina****


Despite being partially erased by Hurricane Katrina, the Chandeleur barrier islands remain an extremely productive fishing ground and one of the best places to hook up on prize-winning fish off the Gulf coast of Louisiana. Captain Rich has years of experience in this area, and is ready to take you on the trip of a lifetime.

On this trip, you'll target Tripletail, Sheepshead, Redfish, Cobia, Red Snapper, Black Drum, and Flounder—all of the nearshore Gulf gamefish in one place! You'll be chasing these fish aboard Captain Rich's 26' Blackjack center console—the perfect boat for chasing big-time Reds and other gamefish in these waters. It has everything you need for a blue-ribbon experience, including Simrad electronics and radar, Blade Power Pole, and a MinnKota trolling motor for sneaking up on shallow-water Reds.

Captain Rich knows how to put you on 'em, and has years of experience guiding all kinds of guests, from seasoned anglers to first-timers. Prior to becoming a guide, Rich spent more than a decade in law enforcement, and loves taking out police, EMS, veterans, and others who've served their country or community.

Captain Rich will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, bait and ice for your trip. All you have to bring is your Louisiana fishing license and your sunscreen, and Captain Rich will take care of the rest!

Capt rich was very communicative with pick up and knew exactly where the fish were! Only took us about 3-4 hours to get a 6 man red limit. Great company too to have on board as a capt. Will be back for sure!

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.
