Aidan RheaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewGreat day on the water
Full Day Trip on October 10, 2026 • 3 adultsWe went fishing a day after a rain and high winds that had the fish scattered out in high water and hard to find. Capt Jay still worked incredibly hard for us and put us on a cooler full of fish. Capt Jay was fun to fish with and easy to talk to. We are already looking to plan another trip down here with him in the future.

Full Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 2 adultsJay was outstanding as a guide and the boat was perfect. Great communication, cool guy to hang out with and we had a blast. He put us on snapper, reds and trout. We limited out in 5 hours and came home with thr price of the guide in fresh fish. He cleaned them for us and took pictures for us. We will definitely use him every time. We highly recommended Jay!
Kent Brandtjen5.0VerifiedOutstanding Experience
Full Day Trip on March 23, 2026 • 2 adultsMy son and I spent the day on the water with Jay. Not only did he put us on an amazing amount of fish but he gave us great insight to the area and I felt like I was hanging out with an old fishing buddy. The variety of fish was amazing for our first charter in the area. But Jay reached out prior to our trip and inquired if there was anything we wanted to target. His instructions were spot on and contributed to our success. I highly recommend a day on the water with Jay…great guy, guide!

Mickael CariveauRepeat angler5.0VerifiedBest charter ever
Full Day Trip on May 24, 2025 • 3 adultsI 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.
