Victory Bay Charters
+206With hundreds of post-trip photos showing smiling faces and BIG catches, you’re in good hands with Victory Bay Charters.
Skip the hassle of trying to locate your captain at a busy marina. Victory Bay Charters operates out of a peaceful, private dock with incredible views of Lake Pontchartrain and the Salt Bayou marsh. Families, groups, and individuals are all welcome! Whether you’re an avid angler or a beginner, you’ll receive excellent customer service while enjoying an adventurous day of catching fish.
Captain Drake grew up fishing the local marshes, and now as a full time guide targets Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Bass, and Flounder on a daily basis. The goal each and every day is to give people the fishing trip of a lifetime.
A trip with Victory Bay means you’ll be riding in style in a brand new 2023 25’ Blue Wave bay boat. With plenty of space and comfortable seats, this modern vessel is equipped with all the necessary electronics to make catching fish easier. It’s the perfect vessel for pursuing Redfish in the shallows, or safely working the open water for Speckled Trout.
After a morning of catching, Captain Drake will clean and bag your fish to your preference. All the ice you need to keep your fillets fresh on your journey home will be provided at no additional cost. Kids aged 4 and above are welcome and vests in all sizes are provided. Bottled water is available on board. Bring your own snacks and any drinks you want to keep your energy up. Just like other guide services in the area, live bait, when needed is an additional cost and can range from $10-25 per person.

Half Day Trip AM on April 25, 2025
For a half or full day of fishing, contact Captain Drake at Victory Bay Charters. He grew up on the water here and has the gear and knowledge to get fish on your line. We caught 5 different varieties of fish with 7 keepers. Great day on the bay!

Captain Drake was great, took a while to find the bite, but once we did, we filled the boat.

Your captain
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
Growing up in the 80's I was blessed to experience countless fishing adventures out of our camp on Lake Pontchartrain. Many years of spending several days a week on the water from sun up to sun down helped me learn, on my own, the patterns of our wide variety of fish species here as well as tidal and wind effects on their behavior. Louisiana has such an incredible fishery and over time I realized sharing what we have is extremely fun! In 2017 I left a 15 year career in customer service to start a full time guide service. In short time an impressive amount of repeat business was established. Giving customers the fishing trip of a lifetime is the goal each and every day.
