Book your next trip with OfFISHial Charters and find out what you're missing in Slidell. Your guide for the day is Captain Brooks, bringing aboard years of angling experience.
These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Black Drum, Catfish, Flounder, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!
On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light tackle.
Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You'll be casting lines from a 26' Bay boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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 sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with OfFISHial Charters!
