A’speck Charters
Lose yourself along southern Louisiana's winding network of inshore bays, bayous, lakes, and rivers. A'speck Charters will keep you safe as you explore every nook and cranny of these intricate, productive skinny waters. Captain Norman Rester is a native to the area and has over 60 years of fishing experience on these waters. He's living his lifelong dream as a professional angler, and has even passed on his passion to his grandchildren!
The 25' Majek bay boat is just the craft you want for navigating these winding waterways. Powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine, you'll reach speeds of up to 40 knots as you head across the bays. When you get to the shallow waters, this light vessel will have no problem staying afloat and drifting to each sweet spot. There's space for up to 4 guests on board, and you'll even be given some sodas and waters to stay refreshed.
Capt. Norman will also provide top-of-the-line Shimano, Lewes, and Concept 13 rods and reels, along with a range of artificial lures to outwit your target species. Try spinning with light tackle to get the most out of a day on the water, and reel in plenty of delicious fish to take home for a tasty treat. Go after Flounder, Trout, and Redfish, among others, for a fun day's fishing and even bigger rewards at the end of the day.
When you get back to shore, after taking a photo with your catch, Capt. Norman will clean and prepare your catch so that you're all set to enjoy the fruits of your labor. All you need to do before hopping aboard is to grab your fishing license – online or at the marina before going. It couldn't be easier! Come and discover Louisiana fishing in true local style with A'speck Charters.

Larry Colgan•
Texas, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat trip
4 hour morning trip max. 4 persons on September 2, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had hoped to target speckled trout but instead caught many large reds. Gary was a great guide and took good care of everyone on the boat and made sure we were on fish the entire trip. I was surprised that live bait was an additional charge but not a big deal.

Half day trip 4 hours on June 20, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childRain left us a window, BP was a little high that slowed down bites Captain Norman continued to try and find fish, after a few hours of slow bites he hit a nice spot that made the trip end with nice specs & sheepshead He made sure to give my grandson all the pointers to help him lead in fish count total since this was his first saltwater trip Highly recommended Thanks Norman

Full day 7 hours 3 persons on July 10, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur research prior to booking showed Norm was great with kids. Today’s trip more than proved that as our 9 & 7 year old were entertained the entire trip. Fishing was tough, but Norm kept us on the fish and got us plenty to take back to our family. Highly recommend booking with Norm.
