Bill BatesRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAction and Variety
6 Hour Trip - Lake Pontchartrain on May 4, 2026 • 1 adultCaptain Steve Himel is one of the best fishing guides I have ever fished with, and I have fished with dozens. This time I told him I hoped for action and variety, and my goodness did he deliver. Action? Check. I caught 25 fish. Variety? Check. I caught 13 spotted seatrout, 7 Atlantic croakers, a southern flounder, an Atlantic stingray, a hardhead catfish, and 2 channel catfish. It is really fun to fish with Steve because I always know that it's going to be a very successful day on the water.
Justin McCorkleRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Trip Looking Forward to the Next!
Half Day Trip – Lake Pontchartrain on May 23, 2026 • 4 adultsRain was forecasted. Capt was in constant communication throughout the week as weather forecasts changed. we decided to go out until the came in. Capt took us far enough out to get some action and close enough to get back to dock when the rain came. He took us out and in an hour and a half we smoked em! Great energy on the boat and Capt knows the water.

Captain Steve Knows Where the Fish Are
6 Hour Trip - Lake Pontchartrain on May 28, 2025 • 1 adultI enjoyed a hot, humid, cloudless summer day in Sportsman's Paradise on Lake Pontchartrain with Captain Steve. I said I'd like to catch 5 species of fish, and I did even better: 7. With Steve taking us where the fish were biting, I caught speckled trout, black drum, gafftopsail catfish, croakers, hardhead catfish, white trout, and a big blue catfish. I only return where the fishing was great the first time. I'm already planning to go back next year. I wholeheartedly endorse Captain Steve.
Dalton Tjelmeland5.0VerifiedA dream Trip
6 Hour Trip - Lake Pontchartrain on May 5, 2024 • 2 adultsMy best friend and I had a fantastic with Captain Steve. Everything was very seamless. He was able to get us on fish quickly and effectively. We caught 9 different species of fish, including; black drum, redfish and speckled trout (probably 100-120 fish in total were caught) His boat was in great condition and he had everything we needed as far as bait and rods & reels. We joked and laughed like we’d known each other for years. This trip was an ABSOLUTE dream of ours. Dakota and myself want to thank Captain Steve for an amazing day, and we will definitely be coming back for another adventure.
