Bayou Bandits will show you the hottest lake fishing spots, both inshore and offshore, and make sure you never forget the mesmerizing scenery and the unique beauty of the bayou.

Step aboard a 22’ bay boat manufactured by Champion in 2005 and let it take you on an adventure of a lifetime. The vessel is powered by a 225 HP Evinrude engine capable of reaching a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots.

It can accommodate up to four anglers and is fully equipped for a successful day on the water. You’ll find everything you need on board, from safety equipment and navigational electronics to live bait tanks, and ice-boxes.

I grew up on the water and I'm very passionate about fishing and guiding. My grandad was also an angler and he was the one who got me into fishing in the first place. He used to take me on fishing trips, just the two of us, and teach me about fishing. With over 30 years of experience, I also love teaching my guest everything I know about angling.
