About Your Trip

Spend the afternoon exploring the saltwater flats of southeast Louisiana! Join Captain Gavin in the twisting marshlands filled with fish just waiting to be caught. The drive from New Orleans is only an hour, so spend your afternoon on a beautiful boat with a line in the water before you return home with fresh fish for dinner.

The trip targets the Flounder, Redfish, Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead that dominate the marshy flats outside Lafitte. These fish are a tasteful delicacy which are even more delicious when fresh-caught. Bring a cooler to keep your catch fresh for the ride home and get them on the grill! You should also bring snacks, drinks, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and a valid Louisiana Fishing License. Captain Gavin will provide everything else such as rods, bait, and light tackle.

On board the 24’ Express Bay Boat you will have a comfortable and smooth ride. The 250HP Yamaha engine cuts through the smooth water, taking you to the best fishing holes. Captain Gavin will take you to the best spots quickly since his knowledge of the area is extensive. After spending an amazing day on the water, you can watch the beautiful Louisiana bayou sunset and hit the grill for a delicious dinner! If you choose, Captain Gavin is happy to clean and cook your catch for you, at an additional fee of $30 per person.
