Full Day Trip on May 24, 20253 adults
I have fish since I was old enough to hold a rod, and I am no stranger to ensure saltwater fishing. Took my wife two daughters and son for a three day trip this past weekend and can’t say enough good things about Captain Jay. Hands down the best captain and shorter experience in my life. His knowledge of the waters and the Bayou are infinite, he knew exactly where the fish were at, and how to put us on them. We fished with him for three days and limited out every day. Red snapper redfish speckled trout, black drum, Spanish mackerel, flounder and even a sheep’s head in the mix, not to mention the occasional shark. My wife and kids had a lifetime experience and saw the real Louisiana Bayou.I would recommend him to anybody anytime without reservation. Thanks, Captain Jay for a once in a lifetime experience.

Bull Reds for Days
Full Day Trip on September 5, 20254 adults
Captain Jay was able to get us on 14 bull reds, including a monster 40” to end the day. He had a wealth of knowledge and a lot of funny stories to share. Never caught so many fish on artificial only

J is a great captain, extremely nice and definitely puts you on the fish. Goes out of his way to make sure you have a good trip. I am an avid sports fisherman and have to say he's top notch compared to a lot of other charters i take annually.
