For your next fishing trip in Louisiana, book a trip with Platinum Fishing Charters for the ultimate fishing trip. You’ll be looked after by Captain Daniel Francis Jr, who has been fishing these waters since he was a child. He knows the best places to go for the most productive day.

Hop on board the 25’ “Blue Wave,” a bay boat that excels in shallow waters. She’ll maneuver her way into those hard to reach areas, giving you that extra edge over your prey. On board are comfy seats, plenty of shade, and a cooler for your food and drinks to go into.

Capt. Daniel offers both private and shared trips. You can expect to target Catfish, Garfish, Redfish, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and more. Whether this is your first catch ever or your hundredth, there’s a fish out here with your name on it!

Included in the price of your trip are top quality rods and reels. These won’t let you down when reeling in your catch. Live bait is also provided, and this will either be prepared before your trip or caught during.

You’ll need to buy a fishing license before the first line is cast. You should also bring snacks along, as you’ll definitely work up an appetite! Dress for the weather and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat along, so you’ll be comfortable out on the water.

Book a trip with Platinum Fishing Charters for a fishing trip the whole family will love and be talking about for years to come! Let Capt. Daniel show you a good time today.

Most fun and best fishing experience ever!
Half Day Trip – Shared (AM) on October 5, 20222 adults
Captain Daniel Frances is personable, experienced and a terrific teacher. While my husband had gone fishing before. I had little to no experience. Captain Daniel made the trip enjoyable for us both. I was able to hook and pull in several fish too small to keep , including hooking a 30# red fish on a 12# line which I immediately relinquished to the Captain to finesse and bring in to the boat. Jim hooked and brought in 2 - 40 # Bull Redfish which made his day. Overall, the skill of our Captain, great weather and hungry fish gave us a terrific experience. The boat was well outfitted snd comfortable and had sone shade which I appreciated. I would highly recommend choosing his fishing charter.

Morning Half Day Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 24, 2022
We had a great time on the water fishing. My husband and I scheduled a charter for our anniversary celebration. Although it was a windy way, Captain Daniel navigated perfectly with a smooth ride considering the elements. The overcast was wonderful with spurts of sunshine and we had some great catches that we were able to pull in with the help of Captain Daniel. I would highly recommend this experience. The ride was amazing and the scenery was beautiful.

Half Day Trip – Shared (AM) on May 21, 20221 adult1 child
My son and I had an amazing time with this Charter and Captain. He had such a great time that he said he wanted to have this as his Christmas present again this year. He also said he didn’t want to go with just any charter or captain but the same one. The weather could have been a little better but we did have the option to cancel the day before. The boat is in excellent condition. We loved this trip!
