If you’re looking for a fishing trip of a lifetime that you will never forget, Gills & Bills Guide Service can make it happen. This is a professional charter service in Lake Charles, Louisiana run by Captain Conlon Brashear. Capt. Conlon is a very experienced guide that has been fishing the lake his entire life, and loves satisfying his customers by putting them on the fish.

Come aboard his 25’ Haynie center console boat, which can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It is powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine, and is equipped with GPS and fishfinder. Its spacious deck will allow you to tackle any of the species found in these waters in comfort.

Lake Charles is home to the best fishing estuary in Louisiana, known as Big Lake or Calcasieu Lake. This place is known for its trophy Trout, big Bull Reds, and an abundance of Flounder. Other species you may encounter include Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Tripletail.

Capt. Conlon offers a variety of trips. For those looking for something more relaxing, there are scenic boating trips up the Calcasieu River. Regular bookings hold up to 4 people per boat, but the captain can also accommodate more guests.

All trips include fishing gear, tackle, and bait, as well as catch cleaning. As an added bonus, all guests will receive a free hat upon arrival.

Pick up is at Hebert’s Marina or Calcasieu Point Marina is recommended, while pick up and drop off (by boat) can be organized from Lauberge and Golden Nugget Casinos.

The possibilities are endless with Gills & Bills Guide Service, so come and have an amazing time in these prolific waters!

Conlon is a great guide. His knowledge and understanding of the areas he fishes is one the things that sets him apart from other guides. Conlon works hard for his clients and makes its an enjoyable trip. Definitely recommend!

Well, as with most fishing trips, sometimes you catch a bunch, other times you don’t. It was a terribly windy day. Captain Jordan gave us 1000% effort to find spots to catch. We ended up with about 12, so that was a little disappointing. Mother Nature rules. Boat and equipment are great. Hold on tight..their boat moves to get to fishing. Give them a try..
