    Good trip

    8 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    We had a good trip with Gills and Bills and Captain Josh. We fished the northern end of the area and caught 29 speckled trout. Josh had to work at it as the fish on this trip were smaller - so it took us a while to get to our legal limits. Josh was persistent, moving his way from spot to spot catching a few at a time until we were finished . We really appreciated how hard he worked to find the fish. Used artificials the whole time . We would fish with him again.

    thanks for letting Gills & Bills earn your business!

What's biting with Gills & Bills Guide Service in Lake Charles

November is when the magic happens at Lake Charles and Prien Lake. If you want to catch that trophy Trout, now is the perfect time. Redfishing near shore is also great.

Reds/Trout Fishing is HOT

May 30, 2026 • Lake Charles
It has been non stop action for last several weeks and is only getting better! Throwing artificial lures is what we love to do and thats exactly what the trout want! The red fishing has been pretty good throwing live bait under corks along grass lines and in backwater marshes. Dont wait to book come get in on the fun!
