I have been fishing Lake Ponchatrain and it’s surrounding Bayous since I first could hold a rod. My passion became my career when I went to work for Captain Andy Jones over the summer of 19’. Captain Andy taught me everything there is to know about hunting the Kraken and I continue to heed his advice while on the water. While waiting for the Kraken to awaken from hibernation, we have become expert Redfish and Trout fisherman, finding the best spots across Lake Ponchatrain, Catherine, and Borgne to load a box full of fish for our customers.

Our fishing trip with Mackie was absolutely phenomenal! We hauled in tons of fish, including two thrilling sharks and a massive red fish. Hands down, our best trip yet—Mackie made it unforgettable!

Caught a Shark!

VERIFIED

We had an awesome time fishing on the Kraken Hunt! Started out by catching smaller fish for bait, then moving onto the big fish. We caught a small bull shark. Capt. Mackie was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this charter.
