At the end of the trip, Capt. Jim will clean and fillet your fish to take home, so you'll have plenty of fish to keep you going for days to come. Before the trip, just make sure to pick up a fishing license from any tackle store or a Walmart. Also feel free to bring any snacks and drinks you may want during the trip, and keep it in the onboard cooler. Fishtales Guide Service offers an authentic Louisiana fishing experience.

Jim did a great job of putting us on fish. Had some issue with fog that slowed us down for a while but everything worked out fine. Jim was tireless in his efforts to locate the best spots and everything worked well. Would highly recommend Fishtale Guide Services to anyone looking for a good time and catching a lot of fish.
