Southwest Charters
+20Southwest Charters welcomes you to Lake Charles, Louisiana! Come aboard together with Captain Matthew Lestage and embark on the city’s inshore waters in search of some of the fine species that dwell in the area. Captain Matthew is a cordial angler who’ll do everything to make sure you have a fun and successful stay on the water. Join him and start your next fishing adventure southwest of Louisiana!
Your trip starts on a 24’ Haynie bay boat that can accommodate 4 guests. It runs on a 250 HP Mercury engine, uses GPS technology for efficient navigation, and uses a wireless trolling motor so you can make a quieter approach to the fish. There’s a multimedia system to make your stay on board more enjoyable and a livewell to provide you with live bait.
The species you’ll target are Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Redfish, as well as Black Drum, and you’ll use popping on light tackle in order to attract them. You’ll be keeping the fish you catch and you’re welcome to bring any kids you want aboard.
Captain Matthew will supply you with all the rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, and will even clean and fillet your catch for free. You’ll only need your licenses and your favorite snacks and drinks for the trip.
Come visit Lake Charles and have a wonderful fishing time together with Southwest Charters!
