Louisiana on the Fly takes you fishing around the rich Louisiana delta in search of Redfish, and Speckled Trout. These waters fish well throughout the year, and Captain Shane has the experience and skills to make the most out of your day out.

You will be fishing around the Myrtle Grove and Lafitte area, well-known for its Redfish population. We really recommend catch and release to help preserve the redfish population, but clients are allowed to keep fish.

The Myrtle Grove area produces nice fish year-round. In the summertime, you will head out in the early morning to get the fish before the heat. Winter months are productive as well. There are schools of big Red you can get around the shallow waters. And, the scenery is striking. So you better get your camera ready when fishing with Capt. Shane.

Capt. Shane has a deep understanding of the local fisheries. He’s been fishing from an early age and has competed in a number of tournaments at the national level. And if you’re a novice angler, you won’t be after the captain briefs you on the techniques.

The boat is a 2022 Spyder Vapor. It drafts in only seven inches of water, and can get back where the big girls roam. The boat features a set of navigational electronics, as well as an ice box, a live bait well, and safety gear.

Louisiana on the Fly now accepts major credit cards. You’ll find all the tackle and gear you need on board. At the end of the trip, Capt. Shane will clean your catch for you.

Capt. Shane also films all his trips for his YouTube channel, this means you'll be able to re-watch your exciting fishing adventure whenever you want!

So grab your favorite snacks and drinks, a camera, sunglasses, a cap, and sunscreen, then come aboard for a trip to remember. It’s a ride you’re sure to enjoy!

    Full day trip

    6 Hour Trip–Louisiana Gumbo (MAX 3) on March 12, 2022 • 2 adults

    Couldn’t have asked for a better time out on the water with a captain!!!! Cpt. Shane not only put us on the fish all day long but made us feel comfortable at home while on board with him. I felt as if we were fishing with a long time friend and from that point on the day only got better! Even with spotty weather and “not perfect” conditions, Shane put us on the fish, taught us about the area, and educated us on the wildlife all along the trip! Cpt. Shane is a persistent captain and will do everything in his power (even talk to the fish for you 😂) to put you on the bite and make sure you get your moneys worth! With that being said go book your charter now and be ready to have some fun!!! P.s go check out his YouTube channel “ClearVisionCharters” like and subscribe like I did, it gives a great glimpse of what to expect on your trip plus the content is very enjoyable!

    Great Trip on a rough weather day

    6 Hour Trip – Fly Fishing ( Max 2 ) on March 18, 2023 • 1 adult

    Had a great day with Capt. Shane. It was a windy cold day and we fished hard. He is a true fisherman and worked hard to get us on fish. We saw a lot the guy in front of the boat could have done a better job fishing. I would recommend this fly-fishing trip all day everyday. Can't wait to get out with him again

    Great Fishing Trip

    6 Hour Trip–Louisiana Gumbo (MAX 3) on June 25, 2021 • 4 adults

    Captain Shane was a GREAT guide for our first charter trip! He was very patient, friendly, and experienced. I did not know how to fish really when I started, but I caught three big fish by the end! We were not able to catch many fish, but we still had a great time overall!

    Big reds with Gripping Lips

    6 Hour Trip–Louisiana Gumbo (MAX 3) on April 23, 2018 • 2 adults

    Shane put us on the fish all day. We got some big bull reds (which are a blast), a few trout and various other species, all in scenic surroundings. Shane is very comfortable working with fishermen of all levels and is being honest when he says he just wants you to catch fish. Highly recommended!

Hello, my name is Capt. Shane and I own Gripping Lips Guide Service. We mostly fish the waters south of the New Orleans area. This includes Myrtle Grove, Lafitte, the Four Bayou area, and Grand Isle. We specialize in inshore fishing for giant Redfish and Speckled Trout. Shallow-water sight fishing is our specialty, and we excel in that type of fishing. The Spyder Vapor drafts in 7 inches of water. If fly fishing is your thing, this is the charter for you.

    It was a great day out with Captain Shane. He absolutely knows the water, knows his craft, and he will work hard put you on top of fish. He's very professional and takes great care of his clients. Can't wait to book with him again this Fall when the giant Reds come in force. Thanks again Captain Shane.

    Went out with Shane for a half day with my wife. We had a blast catching Redfish, Speckled Trout and Black Drum. If your looking to go out with a top notch guide, then I would recommend Shane. Broke off a monster Red. Will do it again! Thanks Shane
