About Your Trip

Get ready for an action-packed with Captain Clay and enjoy all that the bayous of Plaquemines Parish have to offer! With Captain Clay, you'll get to explore the inshore fishing grounds and hook up some record-setting Speckled Trout in one of America's most beautiful natural environments. Trout thrive in the flats, creeks, and shallow-water inshore areas here, and this charter captain is a true expert when it comes to getting on the fish. No matter your skill level, Captain Clay will give you plenty of expert tips to help you land a winner!

Captain Clay uses a 24’ Stealth bay boat equipped with a 300-HP Yamaha engine, plus a trolling motor, which is perfect for sneaking up on fish! This vessel can accommodate 4 anglers, so make sure you bring some good company.
You'll be throwing live shrimp and other live bait, as well as popping corks and a variety of artificial lures. Whatever you prefer to do, Captain Clay is happy to help you out.

He'll provide everything you need for a perfect day, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is proper clothing, sun protection, a hat, and a cooler for your catch!

About Your Guide

Clay B.

Independent Guide

Captain Clay's story starts two generations before he was born. His grandfather was fishing, hunting and trapping the Lake Hermitage/Barataria Bay area in the early 1900’s. While Clay's father learned a great deal from him, the fishing industry was changing, with bigger and faster boats, and he was able to venture out to the south side of Barataria Bay and then on to the barrier islands.

When Captain Clay was a small boy, his father built a camp on an island that is known as 4-Bayou Pass, eight miles east of Grand Island and unquestionably some of the best fishing in southeast Louisiana. The only way to get there was by boat, and their entertainment was to spend every weekend at the camp fishing in what is known as the Barataria Bay Area. Clay use to follow behind my dad’s skiff out to the camp in a small wooden flat boat, so when he got there all the kids would have a way of getting around the barrier islands to fish. Little did Clay realize that the fantastic childhood he had was paving the way for what he does today!

Clay spent 34 years in the refinery industry, starting out as a welders helper and working his way up to a project manager. His childhood memories of fishing were embedded in his spirit, and he got his captain's license in 1999. He retired from the refinery industry and starting running charters full time. Captain Clay loves taking folks fishing for one reason: it continually reminds him of how blessed he is to live in an area that has some of the best fishing in North America. It absolutely brings Clay joy when he can show folks a glimpse of the world he lives in every day, and offer his customers the opportunity to stay in one of the great fishing cabins on the property. He's truly humbled by the opportunity to show folks a good time on a fishing trip!
