Capt. John runs trips out of Lafitte aboard a custom-made boat. These waters are known for Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, and Sheepshead and he will show you how to catch them. With more than 30 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
