In the nearshore waters of Louisiana, you can fetch yourself some superb game.Captain Gary Peloquin has been guiding people on these waters for 30 years and knows exactly where to take you for a splendid day of fishing.

He’ll take you out on his customized 24’ Haynie bay boat. This lightweight craft is powered by a huge 300 HP Suzuki engine that can take you up to high speeds of 55 knots. These flying speeds mean that you’ll be able to reach the region’s best fishing spots in no time at all.

Captain Gary tends to use light tackle when you’re on the hunt for the best fish in the area. Flounder, Redfish, and Speckled Trout are among your most likely catches in these waters. He’ll clean the catch for you so it’s ready to be put straight in the pan or oven once you’re home.

You’ll use light tackle for this fishing and there’s a good range of rods for you to select. Lures are provided but live bait can also be provided with a $45/55 surcharge, which will be collected from the marina before your trip.

The drinks are included in the price, but you’ll need to take some food, sunshades, suncream, and rain gear with you. You’ll also need to get a $10 fishing license before your trip that can be bought at the marina or online. Once you’ve got all your stuff, all you need to do is wait for the fish to bite.

"Make a Move" with Capt. Gary
8 hr trip on October 29, 20252 adults
Capt. Gary was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about fishing the area. He wanted us to catch fish as badly as we did. He would try a spot and we'd work it till it became obvious we needed to "make a move", which we did frequently. We'd catch a few here and there, then we finally found the spot and limited out on trout! He was gracious, respectful, and a fun guy to be with on the water! Thank you, Capt. Gary! Jay P.

My two brothers and I have been out fishing lake calcasieu several times without much luck. Capt Gary was very helpful and knowledgable, put us on fish on a half day trip. We caught fish in several locations and ended up with quite a few keepers. I would highly recommend his services.

Caught a few redfish and lots of sheep head and drum. Overall good day. Fish were a bit slow but that just how fishing is. Either way we caught plenty of fish to have a nice fish fry with friends afterwards.
