What types of trips do we offer?
TROUT & REDFISH COMBO
Our Speckled trout and redfish combo consists of a full day of fishing for speckled trout and redfish. You will depart from the dock at safe light and venture throughout the rich South Louisiana marsh in search of our famous speckled trout. In our summer months we fish the natural gas rigs, and wrecks in our outer bays known as Breton Sound, Black Bay, and Bay Eloi. Our bait of choice to put those big healthy trout on ice is live shrimp and live croakers! In our winter months we fish the interior marsh for speckled trout. Our bait of choice is live shrimp under a cork or artificial lures under a cork. Typically on this trip you will fish for speckled trout until 10 A.M., then venture back into the marsh to fish the rest of the day for redfish! Our reds will be in our marsh patrolling the banks in search of those live shrimp you will have at the end or your cork!!

For those redfish enthusiast we offer full day redfish trips! Whether you are an avid redfish angler or a new comer to the sport; we have the redfish Mecca!
