About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Daryl for an exciting day of traditional shrimp trawlin' in the heart of Cajun country! The Louisiana coast is full-up with shrimp, and Grand Isle is right in the middle of all the inshore marshes, swamps and bays you need to catch some tasty keepers.

On this 3-hour trip, you’ll participate in a quickly eroding practice of small boat shrimping the way that thousands of folks have provided food for their tables in past generations. This is a “hands on” experience trip where one should plan on getting a little wet and sometimes a lot dirty. You’ll participate in pulling a bottom trawl then exploring it’s catch as you pick out the shrimp that you want to keep.

Captain Daryl will provide all the necessary trawling equipment. All you need to bring is any food or drinks you might want out on the water. We recommend a hat, sunscreen and polarized sunglasses, clothes that can get dirty, and remember to pack a cooler in your car so you can take your hard-trawled catch home with you!

Note: Shrimp are highly regulated by the State. Shrimp seasons are often opened and closed with a 72 hour notice. In the event that a regulatory closure you will not be charged any fees by RSGS for any trip(s) that the closure would affect.

Captain Daryl was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and laid-back. He made our fishing trip beginner-friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we caught the fish we were after. We reeled in every species you’d want during our inshore adventure! His teaching skills were top-notch, and he never once made me feel inadequate due to my lack of fishing experience. Plus, he had a great sense of humor that kept us laughing throughout the trip. ...

Mr. Daryl is the first charter I've ever taken, and I would not hesitate to book him again. From the first minute you meet him, he's cutting up with jokes and makes you feel like you've known him for a long time. He quickly put us into a steady supply of HUGE trout. Not a single one had to be thrown back. Can't wait to do this again.
