If you're ready to have fun fishing in Slidell, book a trip with Full Spectrum Fishing Charters.

You're likely to go after Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, Black Drum, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, Catfish, Hybrid Striped Bass, and more, depending on conditions. On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light tackle.

Trips with Full Spectrum Fishing Charters are open to the whole family, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

You'll be casting lines from a 22' SeaFox Viper 220 bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Frank has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    Fishing with Frank

    Full Day Trip on October 31, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had an absolutely fantastic day fishing with Captain Frank on Lake Pontchartrain! The trip was everything you could ask for — fun, productive, and a great experience from start to finish. We had a successful day on the water, catching speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. Captain Frank made sure we had a great time and delivered exactly what you hope for in a fishing charter. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain who can put you on fish while making the trip enjoyable, I highly recommend Captain Frank. We’ll definitely be fishing with him again. Thanks, Captain Frank, for a great day on Lake Pontchartrain!

    WOW!

    Evening Trip on October 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    Started with targeting speckled trout and the white trouts emerged quickly after. Ended up catching 7 species of fish in a fast 4 hours. 30+ fish caught between me & one other person. Landed a 14.5 lb Red Snapper that took me for a ride! Captian Frank was amazing and very knowledgable of the New Orleans waterways and history!

    Captain Frank does it again!!

    Morning Half Day Trip on December 7, 2025

    We had an outstanding experience with Full Spectrum Fishing Charters. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Frank was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made sure everyone was comfortable, explained what we were doing, and worked hard to put us on fish. The boat itself was perfect—clean, well-maintained, and set up great for fishing. You can tell Captain Frank takes pride in both his equipment and the experience he provides for his customers. Most importantly, we caught fish and had a great time doing it. Captain Frank knew where to go and kept us on the action. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or just looking for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend Full Spectrum Fishing Charters. Great captain, great boat, and a great day of fishing. We’ll definitely be booking another trip in the future!

    Best Trip Ever

    Morning Half Day Trip on October 2, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Frank was top tier. This was a guys trip, and we landed right on the fish. From the moment we got out there, he knew exactly where to be and how to put us on a great bite. The whole day felt smooth and dialed-in. If you’re looking for a fishing trip where you actually get on the fish (not just “hope for the best”), Captain Frank delivers. We left with full spirits and even better memories.

    Highly Recommend Fishing with Frank with full spectrum fishing charters.

    Half Day Trip - 6:00 AM on May 17, 2025

    We recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Frank, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From start to finish, Frank ensured we had a great time and, most importantly, caught a lot of fish. One of the standout aspects of the charter was Frank's proactive approach to finding fish. We were consistently on the move, never stuck waiting around. His knowledge of the area and where the fish were biting was evident, as we were constantly reeling them in. It was exciting to be actively fishing rather than just waiting. We were also incredibly lucky with the weather, which was perfect. Even the wind seemed to be on our side, making for a comfortable and productive day on the water. If you're looking for a fishing charter that prioritizes catching fish, keeps you engaged, and provides a thoroughly enjoyable experience, look no further than Frank. We highly recommend his services and will definitely be booking another trip with him in the future! -Mark Derenbecker

    Full day trip with captain Frank

    Half Day Trip - 6:00 AM on April 29, 2025

    Booked a trip with captain Frank with full spectrum fishing charter. He meet us at the marina and was very friendly to be so early in the morning. The boat was well equipped with updated equipment. Boat was in excellent shape and clean but didn’t take us long to get the deck bloody. He had us on the specs within 20 minutes of leaving the dock. We could not reel them in fast enough. I have never caught fish like this. Was using a double hook drop line with live shrimp and pulled them in 2 at a time. It was crazy. I have never used artificial bait before so capt showed my the right way to jig. And it just a few minutes I hooked the biggest red fish I had ever seen. I was impressed with his technique and the knowledge of the way. We caught so many fish I was tired of catching lol. Didn’t think that was possible. When we made it back to the dock he cleaned and bagged our haul and had us ready for our long trip back home. I highly recommend captain Frank with full spectrum fishing charter to anyone that wants to catch and not just fish. Already have the next trip booked!
