Bayou Boys Charters LLC invites you to experience the thrill of inshore fishing in the abundant waters of Shell Beach, Louisiana. Captain Zach, a passionate outdoorsman with deep Louisiana roots, is ready to put you on fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time on the water, everyone is welcome – especially kids who might just trade in their game controllers for fishing rods by the end of the trip.

Your adventure takes place aboard a sleek 25' BlackJack bay boat, powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard. This high-performance vessel is built for shallow water action and comfortably fits up to 4 anglers. It's loaded with top-of-the-line electronics and gear to keep you on the fish and in the action all day long.

Captain Zach provides all the equipment you'll need, including rods, reels, and bait. Depending on the bite, you'll be fishing with both live and artificial bait, all prepped and ready before you even step aboard.

You'll be targeting local favorites like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, and Flounder, cruising through the bays, marshes, and hidden honey holes of St. Bernard Parish. And once the cooler's full, Captain Zach will clean and bag your catch so it's ready for the table when you get home.

Don't forget to bring a valid Louisiana fishing license – required for all anglers aged 18 and up. You can grab a 3-Day Saltwater Charter Pass online for just $20 from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.

All that's left to do is pack a few drinks and snacks (yes, cold beer is welcome), grab your shades, and get ready to make memories on the water. Book your trip with Bayou Boys Charters LLC and see why fishing in Shell Beach is something you won't soon forget!

    Half Day Fishing with (Jeremy...related to Cpt Zachary)

    Half Day Trip on June 19, 2020 • 2 adults

    My son and I used this Charter of Cpt Zachary hosted by Jeremy. It had been quite sometime since we had fished but the crew was very user friendly, knowledgeable and able to help us gain back some skills. We caught one Bass initially but due to the calm waters, we experienced a period of drought but Jeremy and Cpt Zachary were so determined to allow us to get fish, they stayed out beyond the set time. We didn’t catch as many as we wanted but really enjoyed the experience with Bayou Boys Charter. The crew is personable and very gifted with fishing, boating, ideas to cook of fish, links to fish in gulf and much more. Thank Jeremy and Cpt Zachary for your genuine assistance! My son and I really enjoyed it and would do it again. WE RECOMMEND THIS CHARTER TO EVERYONE!! 🎈🙏🏽❤️💯🥰

    Morning trip with Corey

    Half Day Trip on August 31, 2020 • 4 adults

    Myself and two others booked an early morning charter on Monday and it was fantastic! Corey was super knowledgeable and really a pleasure to hang with! While it would have been nice to catch more reds, it certainly wasn't without trying as Corey took us to over a dozen different spots to try our luck. We enjoyed fishing with live shrimp and the boat was in great condition. Corey also did a great job filleting the fish for us afterwards. I would definitely recommend this company and will certainly go out with them again!

    Half day trip with captain zach

    Half Day Trip on May 3, 2020 • 3 adults

    I can’t say enough good about this trip, Captain Zach of bayou boys charter made this trip one of the most memorable ever for myself and the rest of the party. Captain Zach works hard to put you on the fish, we caught some beautiful reds, specks, and sheepshead. Captain Zach had everything covered from bait choice to music choice to tackle set up . The boat was very roomy for four fisherman with all the most recent up to date equipment for mapping out the fishing spots. Thanks again captain Zach

    Fishing With Bayou Boys Charter

    Half Day Trip on February 29, 2020 • 3 adults

    CPT Zach and Dom were excellent today and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The water was low and muddy not ideal for fishing but the experience of these two young men wouldn’t let that stop them from putting us on 5 different species of fish. When others out there couldn’t catch a cold Bayou Boys was putting fish in the boat. Thanks guys for an awesome day of fishing. Flemming

    Fishing with Zachary

    Half Day Trip on April 27, 2020 • 2 adults

    It ended up being a very windy day after a cold front came through which made it tough to catch fish. However Captain Zach actually kept us out sometime after our trip should have ended to make sure we caught plenty of fish. All in all despite the conditions we still were successful and had lots of fun.

Morning trip with Captain Zach
Half Day Trip on June 29, 2021 • 3 adults

First of all Thank you to Captain Zach for working diligently with us on rescheduling due to weather issues. He was extremely easy to deal with and I could tell right away our experience was important to him. The trip was for me, my daughter and close friend and we all had a great time! He pointed out duck's, hogs, other wildlife and historical sights. He even gave recommendations on other spots, techniques and some equipment reviews. Being an experienced angler, I found this extremely courteous! He was very helpful, knowledgeable and he didn't mind covering alot of ground, picking up a few fish here and there until getting us a good catch for the day. I have been on a dozen guided trips and this one ranked tops! I would recommend him for sure

Fishing booker dock site
Half Day Trip on July 2, 2021 • 2 adults

We had a great trip. Captain Jayce was awesome. When we booked this trip we booked it to go out of Golden Meadow and it launched 2 hours east of Golden Meadow. Be careful with FishingBooker and make sure that you don’t have a 3:30am wake up call to get to your dock. The drive back after a full day on the water was a challenging affair. Rush hour traffic in New Orleans.

For me, fishing is not a job, it's a passion. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing someone else catch fish. I've been fishing with my dad for as long as I can remember and we've made so many memories together. Wanting to pass the experience on to others, I got licensed, and now I make memories for other families and friends. I still go fishing with my dad on my days off. Safety is my number one priority – catching fish is second on my list. When you fish with Bayou Boys Charters, bring positive energy and humor, and I guarantee you'll have a great time!
