Reel Charters LLC would like to welcome you aboard for a fishing trip you will never forget. Operating out of Lake Charles, LA, Reel Charters specializes in fishing the Calcasieu and Big Lakes, launching from several point to hit the best spots for Redfish, Trout and Flounder, and make full use of the shallow murky waters which make Louisiana such a perfect place to target these species.

The vessel you will be fishing aboard is a 24 ft Transport center console powered by a 300HP Suzuki engine up to a cruising speed of 40 knots. The boat has room aboard for up to 3 guests, and comes equipped with GPS, fishfinder, a livewell, and a trolling motor for sneaking up to the secluded spots where the spooky fish love to lurk.

When it comes to the fishing the guys at Reel Charters LLC know that sometimes simple is best. They use tried and tested techniques that have proven successful again and again in the past. They focus on light tackle casting, spinning and popping to bring in the best catch, with the option to purchase live bait when available.

Captain Jordan has spent his whole life fishing the Calcasieu Lake and knows all the best spots to take his clients to make sure they take home a huge haul, which he will clean and fillet free of charge at the end of the trip - just make sure you've got a big cooler in the trunk because you're going to need it! Lastly, always remember to tip your guide so he knows that you enjoyed your trip.

    Full day trip with Jordan

    Full Day Trip on June 15, 2019 • 3 adults

    Had a great time fishing with Jordan. He picked us up at the casino, was prepared and had everything we needed. He put us on the first pretty quickly and didn’t hesitate to find them when they stopped biting. This was my first time to fish with a guide and you couldn’t ask for any better. Jordan cleaned the fish just how we asked him and he was so good I didn’t find one bone when we got home and I put them away in the freezer. If your looking for a great guy with a sense of humor and willing to put you right into the fish then this is your guy. Thanks Jordan we had a great time.

    First Reds fishing experience with Captain Jordan

    Full Day Trip on July 16, 2017

    It was our first time ever red fishing and after a slow start and some helpful tips from Captain Jordan, he found us the honey hole and we put 12 keepers in the boat. After that we we picked up 2 or 3 keepers each in a couple more spots. After filling our limits on reds we changed locations and caught a couple trout which was an extra for us. Captain Jordan worked very hard to find the fish for us and take care of everything when the bite was on. We have already booked a couple more trips in the future. All three of us were more than satisfied with our Reel Charters experience and highly recommend this charter.

    Half day trip with Captain Jordan

    Half Day Trip PM- CASINO PICKUP on June 20, 2018 • 2 adults

    This was our first time fishing for redfish. Jordan was patient and intent on making it a successful trip. The rain interferred with our originally scheduled afternoon, but Jordan kept in contact and made it happen before we had to head back home. Whether you are young, "older", an experienced angler, or unexperienced, Jordan will accommodate in a highly professional manner. He loves what he does!

    Great experience fishing Lake Charles. One of the best about putting you on the fish and making sure tackle was in good condition. We fished with both artificial and live shrimp. He knows the waters and has fished them all his life!

  • A group of anglers proudly displaying their catch of speckled trout on a cleaning table after a successful fishing trip.
    What an awesome afternoon trip!! We had two boats take off and before we knew it we were catching trout almost every cast. We were fishing with sparkle beetles on a jighead and the trout could not resist. Occasionally redfish and flounder would also join in the fun. Dont miss out the fishing. Book your fishing trip of a lifetime now.
  • Three anglers proudly displaying a large catch of catfish on the dock, showcasing a successful fishing trip.
    I picked these gentlemen up at the casino and we headed out to find some trout. The first spot we began catching fish on live shrimp under a cork. Shortly after catching a few we switched over to lures and really started catching the hungry trout. Before 8 a.m. we had our 60 trout and a couple bonus red fish. The fishing is the best it has been all year so do not wait any longer and book your fishing trip of a lifetime.

    Redfish
    Another FANTASTIC trip at Reel Charters. We left the dock before sunrise and ran back in to the marsh to find red fish. Once we had arrived we quickly began catching both trout and red fish. By 9:30 a.m. we had limited out on both trout and redfish. Hurry up and book your fishing trip of a lifetime while the fishing is the best it has been all year. Reel charters can accommodate any size group and can provide lodging or casino pick up if needed.

    Redfish
    We left out after lunch in search for redfish deep in the marsh. After a couple of spots we were able to locate some beautiful redfish. The redfish were chasing shrimp through the marsh and luckily we had live shrimp on our hooks. As we were about to head back to the dock we ran across a school of trout under neath sea gulls. We caught a handful of trout then headed in. Don't wait any longer, call now and book your fishing trip of a lifetime.

    This past Saturday we left the dock in search of redfish and we found a pile of them. It was not long after we started fishing that the redfish began eating the live shrimp on our hooks. These gentleman had a blast and caught a limit of redfish. The fishing is continuously great and now is the time to join the fun. Call now and book your fishing trip of a lifetime.
