Operating a 36' Contender Center console, Capt. Animus ensures a comfortable fishing experience in the waters of Grand Isle, Louisiana. This area is known for Cobia, King Mackerel (Kingfish) and Great Barracuda and you'll get to catch them using bottom fishing, popping, trolling, jigging, or other techniques. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.

Kathrynn Guedry5.0Off-Shore Graduation Trip with Chris!
FULL DAY TRIP - FUEL NOT INCLUDEDChris is, hands down, the best captain and always has the best deck hands. He makes you feel comfortable the entire trip and the conversations you can have with him are hilarious. There is never a dull moment. If you are wanting a valuable fishing trip, with loads of fun, Chris with Animus Charters, LLC is the way to go!! Beginning the trip, Chris explains to you what the day is going to look like. He is extremely knowledgeable on the types of fish you catch, along with where to find them. He supplies bait and all equipment needed for a great experience. Throughout the trip, Chris is an amazing person to chat and hangout with. He happily answers any questions you may have about quite literally anything. He, along with his crew, baits your lines, takes the fish off the hook, assists in reeling in (if needed), fixes poles if lines need snapping, and guides you to different locations. He makes you feel like family from the second you step onto his boat, until the moment you step off. It truly is an amazing experience, in and of itself, but Chris makes the experience that much better, with his incredible personality and knowledge of fishing. It is undeniable, the amount of love he has for the game. At the end of the trip, he cleans the fish and bags them up based on the type of fish it is. He gives recommendations on how to cook the fish and what dishes they taste the best in. As a side note- His boat remains clean. He takes pride in his belongings and keeps the boat free of trash and clutter as the trip continues to ensure the best experience for everyone. This was my second time going with Chris and I don’t think I will ever choose anyone else. He made a very good impression on me the first time and I just had to come back! He made my graduation fishing trip everything I imagined!! If you are looking for a clean, fun, and memorable trip, book Chris with Animus Charters, LLC, today!! I promise you it’s so worth it. 5 stars on yelp!!

SHARED - 6HR - OFFSHORE - FUEL INC. • 2 adultsWe targeted Cobia and Mangrove snapper as the Red snapper season just closed the weekend before our scheduled date. We caught our Cobia right away, so we targeted Mangrove snapper and any bonus fish. We caught numerous Big bull Reds well over slot and one that was under slot to keep. Caught plenty of Mangrove snapper, Sheepshead, one Pompano, a few Spanish Mackerel, and a shark. We have plenty of fresh fish for the freezer to enjoy.

Robert Dyess5.0VerifiedGreat experience - Very Professional
6 Hour Trip – Shared - OFFSHORE - 2:00 PM • 5 adults • 1 childIssues came up with the boat, but Captain Chris Beard was on top of it like a champ. instead of canceling our trip he set us up with a backup at Geaux Fishing Charter with Captain Trampus Wagoner. We had a blast and caught 30+ sheephead, drum, mangrove, and I forgot the name of the other fish. I would 100% recommend both Captains and both charters if you want to do inshore or offshore fishing.
