I'm a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and lifelong outdoorsman from Thibodaux, Louisiana. Raised on the bayous and mentored by a family of hunters and fishermen, I developed a deep respect for the water early on. What started with solo runs in my 17-foot Sea Chaser chasing red snapper, mangroves, and cobia evolved, over the next 10 years, into a calling to share the incredible resources of the Gulf with others. In 2025 that calling came to life with American Gulf Fishing Charters. I combine professionalism, preparation, and a love of adventure to deliver safe, unforgettable trips off Grand Isle and Port Fourchon. I'm also a Certified Freediver. I enjoy hunting the oil rigs and shipwrecks for snapper and cobia with a speargun. On land, I'm a 4th generation butcher and manager of my family's 135-year-old butcher shop in Thibodaux - Bourgeois Meat Market.

    Making Memories

    Half Day Trip – Offshore Fishing - 11:00 AM3 adults

    I just wanted to share how awesome Shane and Roger were, especially since our group had never done deep-water fishing before. Working with them was seriously amazing! They didn't just make sure we were catching fish and having a totally memorable time, they also patiently showed us the ropes and made sure we felt completely comfortable out on the water. Honestly, they were the absolute best! This was the perfect setup for a father-son trip, and honestly, it's one we're totally bragging about. It's gonna be tough to beat this for our next getaway!

    Shane and his crew, Roger, totally killed it. Weather was tough, but they worked their butts off and put us on big fish. We had three kids with us, and they were super patient, flexible and accommodating. Can’t recommend this boat enough - we’ll definitely be back!! Made some great memories! Thank you guys!!!

What's biting with American Gulf Fishing Charters in Grand Isle

The number of Redfish Rodeos on Grand Isle's events calendar says something about the fishing at this time of year. It's all too easy to catch your limit inshore.
