Partake in the adventure of a lifetime and book your next fishing trip with Wicked Fishing Charters! Captain Mackie Bellott will take you on an unforgettable journey through the untouched waters of Louisiana's backcountry where you will be targeting some impressive species that hide below the surface. But beware, for it is said the legendary Kraken lurks beneath these waters!

Your boat for the day will be a 22' Triton bay boat, powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. It comes equipped with a fishfinder, GPS, wireless trolling motor, and necessary safety gear. The captain can take up to 5 guests at a time, including kids ages 7 and up. Something fun that he likes to do when taking kids on board is making them his first mate for the day. They absolutely enjoy this and end up falling in love with fishing after the trip!

Capt. Mack offers a number of different fishing experiences based on whatever your preferences are. You'll mainly be fishing in the Mandeville, Slidell, and Lake Catherine areas where you'll be using light tackle to troll, spin, or bottom fish for species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, and many more. Top-quality Duckett and Penn rods and reels are provided for you on each trip, as well as lures.

Over the past few years, these charters have become so popular that National Geographic has decided to feature the famous 'Kraken Hunt' in a documentary that aired in April 2019. These expeditions are offered from their other listing location, across Lake Pontchartrain where there are lots of Alligator Gar and Bull Shark.

Capt. Mack is one of the humblest people you will meet. His aim is always to provide customers with the best and most affordable fishing experience while teaching people about sustainable fishing practices. Purchase a fishing license, pack some sunscreen and your favorite pair of sunglasses, and book your next fishing trip with Wicked Fishing Charters!

NOTE: You may purchase live bait for the trip at an additional cost approx $25 pp

Incredible
The Kraken Hunt (Afternoon) on July 16, 20261 adult

My trip with Captain Mackie was phenomenal. First class in all aspects. Captain Mackie is very friendly, and his expertise made for an incredible day of fishing. We started by catching some bait fish, and then made our way to the spot. We hooked up with a monster bull shark, which was the experience of a lifetime. Without Captain Mackies expertise and experience, there is no way I could have landed this monster. After the shark, we went into one of the channels and hooked up with an alligator gar. Captain Mackie knew exactly where to go and we caught one in no time. If you’re fishing in Louisiana, Captain Mackie is the guy you want.

Great Experience
The Aquarium Catch (Afternoon) on April 4, 20262 adults

We ended up with windy conditions, but Capt Mackie was willing to keep pushing so my son had an opportunity to fish. We caught somebig and some small fish, but action was consistent and the time flew by. Capt Mackie was very good with my 23 year old. He answered questions, helped when needed, and also taught him how to remove hooks from fish. Would recommend and would do the trip again!

Great fishing experience!
The Aquarium Catch (Afternoon) on October 13, 20253 adults

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing time on our charter with Wicked Fishing! I brought my 11- and 8-year-old sons, and Mackie was fantastic — not only helping all of us fish but also letting the boys get hands-on with tying up the boat and cleaning the catch. We ended the day with a great haul of fish to take home, and the boys couldn’t have been prouder. Such a fun, family-friendly adventure — highly recommend!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I have been fishing Lake Ponchatrain and it's surrounding Bayous since I first could hold a rod. My passion became my career when I went to work for Captain Andy Jones over the summer of 19'. Captain Andy taught me everything there is to know about hunting the Kraken and I continue to heed his advice while on the water. While waiting for the Kraken to awaken from hibernation, we have become expert Redfish and Trout fisherman, finding the best spots across Lake Ponchatrain, Catherine, and Borgne to load a box full of fish for our customers.
