About Your Trip

Set out on an unforgettable fishing adventure on Calcasieu Lake with Captain Bradley! Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, this trip is all about excitement, great company, and reeling in some incredible fish. Known for its rich waters and thriving fish populations, Calcasieu Lake (often called "Big Lake") is a premier destination for inshore fishing in Louisiana.

On this trip, you'll target some of the most sought-after species in the area, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Flounder. Whether you prefer casting with artificial lures or fishing with live shrimp (available for an additional cost), Captain Bradley will have everything you need to land your next big catch. With his deep knowledge of the lake’s waters, he’ll guide you to the best spots, ensuring you have the best chance at a successful and fun-filled day.

You'll be fishing aboard a 25’ Tidewater 2410 Baymax, a spacious and stable bay boat that’s built to handle the inshore waters of Lake Charles with ease. With room for up to four guests, this boat is perfect for a small group of friends or family looking to spend a day on the water. It’s fully equipped with top-of-the-line gear, so no need to bring your own—rods, reels, tackle, and lures are all provided. Just bring your Louisiana fishing license, some snacks, drinks, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to stay comfortable throughout the trip.

At the end of the day, Captain Bradley will even clean and fillet your catch so you can take home a fresh, delicious meal. Whether you're after a trophy Redfish, a cooler full of Speckled Trout, or just a relaxing day surrounded by Louisiana’s beautiful coastal waters, this trip is for you.
