About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Eric and enjoy some of Louisiana's premier inshore fishing! The backcountry waters here are world-famous habitat for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and more. There's truly no better place to chase a new personal best, whether that's a trophy fish or a record number of catches.

Here in Louisiana, the Mississippi River spills out into the Gulf of Mexico, creating a complex system of saltwater and brackish bays, bayous, and marshes that
are ideal for champion gamefish. On this trip, you'll be casting from the deck of Captain Eric's 24' Triton bay boat, throwing bait and/or artificials depending on what's most effective that day.

Up to 4 anglers are welcome aboard, so bring some friends! Captain Eric will take you to the most productive spots in the New Orleans area. Once you're in the right spot, the wireless trolling motor will hold any location while Captain Eric tends to all your needs, including baiting, casting, changing lines, netting fish, and taking pictures! Whether it’s catch and release or filling up the fish box, this trip will be one you'll remember!

Everything you need for a productive day out awaits you on board. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks, and settle in for a thrilling fishing experience with Captain Eric. Come explore the bays and bayous in true Louisiana style!

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.
