About Your Guide

Miles L.

Our friendly guides are true professionals when is comes to saltwater charters. Join us on your next Louisiana fishing charter.

Louisiana offers shallow water fisherman an opportunity not too many other places in the world can boast about. We have a plethora of different saltwater species with a good old Cajun appetite. Our redfish are well protected in some of the deepest corners of the marsh allowing them to roam in peace as they hunt for their next meal. This seclusion is an advantage for Louisiana fishermen because these fish are more than happy to destroy anything that moves in front of them.

Being a Louisiana fishing guide takes experience, skill, and most of all passion. Our fishing guides are passionate allowing us to provide you with the best experience possible. We live and fish here in Louisiana year round allowing us to know the subtle changes in our fishery. We fish these waters for our own pleasure, so our passion extends past putting our clients on fish as we are concerned about the well being of our coast’s future.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip.

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. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
