Captain Troy is a local expert who knows the bayous and marches around Buras, LA like the back of his hand. He'll take you to the best spots for catching Tripletail, a highly prized game fish known for its delicious taste.

As you leave the dock, you'll feel the excitement building as you take in the beautiful scenery of the Louisiana coast. Troy's bay boat is ideal for navigating the shallow waters and back bayous, and she's equipped with all the necessary fishing gear and technology, including a live well and an ice chest.
