About Your Guide

Chris D.

Independent Guide

Hi!! Captain Chris here to tell you a little bit about myself. I fish out of Beshel Marina in East Pointe A La Hache, Louisiana. It’s in Plaquemines Parish, which is in south Louisiana. I have been fishing and hunting my entire life. So, one day I decided to do it for a living and never looked back!! I own and operate the business myself. So, I am a one man operation. Which I love it to be because I get to deal and interact with my clients. I can find out quicker what they’re likes and if they have any questions on fishing. When I’m not fishing, I love to hunt or head to the beach. So, come on down and let me put you on some fish. Once you get hook, you’ll keep come back for more.
