We had such a great time with Capt. Ryan and will definitely be booking another one with him again! He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area, the waters, and the fish. Not to mention he is just a cool guy to hang out and fish with! Conversation was great and we felt super comfortable with him. Everything was set up for us when we arrived and it was such an easy trip. If a spot wasn’t really hitting much, he moved us quickly and made sure we were put on the fish and MAN, did we catch fish! Cleaned the fish the way we requested and packed it all up for us. I’d recommend taking this trip to anyone. Thank you so much Capt. Ryan, we can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I just completed a fantastic 2 day fishing trip with Capt Ryan and our overall experience was spectacular.  Weather was calm, temps ranged from low 70’s to low 80’s, warm sun and consistent fishing 6 hrs/day.  Keeper counts for 2 days were 66 spec trout, 18 sheephead, 6 drum, 5 keeper reds + 8 throw back bull reds 31” to 41” and about 50 undersized throw backs of various species.  It rapidly became apparent that Capt Ryan knows his trade—he doesn’t homestead an area unless the fish are biting there.  Whenever the pattern slowed, we changed locations and discovered other opportunities.  We also found his mid-week pricing structure unique and appealing and appreciated a great restaurant recommendation that cooked up our fresh catch of the day for us.  Overall, we found this fellow to be very knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable.  He certainly earned our respect and recommendation!  Dennis and Marilyn K, Nov 23.

This was by far, hands down, the BEST experience we had in Louisiana. Captain Ryan was such a great guide. We are all beginners ages 22 - 69 and he met each one of our expectations individually. He is so knowledgeable and patient, and must be a fish whisperer because we were pulling them out as fast as the line went in! We even asked about gators and he did a little side jaunt on the way back to find some. We pulled in some massive reddish and drum, and several speckled trout. We also saw so many dolphins - even one pod of 10+! And at the end, he cleaned and packaged up the fish to go. I cannot recommend him more. Worth every cent.

Two of us fished for half day and caught bull reds, reds, sheepshead, drum, speckled trout, white trout, and one beautiful sail cat!  Captain Ryan taught us everything we didn’t know like how to pull in the specs (don’t set the hook just steady-reel) and we plan to return many times each year. My freezer is full of beautiful fresh fish! The camp/cottage was also nice and close to boat launch.
