With 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 on a spacious 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.

Captain Drake was great. We booked a 4 hour trip and he put us on some great fish. We had a blast and will be bringing home a bunch of fillets. Drake went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. Highly recommend Captain Drake. We would love to do it again.

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!
