Ready to cast a line in Slidell? Make it happen, with Brackish Bayous Guide Service! Captain Zachary will be your guide, which means you'll tap into their angling experience.

These waters are known for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Atlantic Croaker, Largemouth Bass, Flounder, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

You'll be fishing aboard a 20' Avid center console with room for 2 or 3 passengers, depending on kids being included. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's recommended to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you do need to provide your own.

Half day with Capt. Zach

Capt. Zach is super knowledgeable on local fishing and was super easy to get along with. The man definitely knows what he’s talking about and definitely knows how to put you on some fish

I've been fishing lake Pontchartrain and the surrounding areas since I could hold a rod. Within the last few years I came to a realization that I get more enjoyment from watching someone else get excited about catching a fish than I get from catching one myself, which has lead me to this endeavor!
