United Kingdom•Member since 20265.0Verifiedamazing fishing trip and brilliant captains
Full day fishing trip 12 hr • 1 adultFished in the morning with Captain Christian targetting speckled trout and in the afternoon with Captain Ryan for redfish. Both wonderful and friendly captains and it was enjoyable spending the time with them. The fishing was enjoyable, apparently the bite was (relatively) slow, but I was very happy and impressed with the fish I was able to catch. The full day trip was great as I was able to target numerous species, catching most fish from trout to red fish but also some sheepshead and black drum at the end to just add to my species list. Would highly recommend to any fisherman looking for a easy trip from New Orleans or around.

Evening fishing trip • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Ryan is truly a saint. He has patience and is an all around good guy. Today my five year old son went on his first fishing trip and was able to reel in a 24 inch redfish, 3 other red fish, a couple drum and a speckle trout. He also was able to “drive” the boat while Captain Ryan had us trolling, “swim” after his 100th request and drop an item overboard and fish it out. All this while Captain Ryan remained composed and caring towards him. I would recommend him to anyone looking to fish out of Lafitte.

Morning Fishing Trip 6hr • 2 adults • 1 child10/10 experience! My 11-year-old son and I had an amazing time. We caught our limit of speckled trout, and it was my son’s very first fishing trip. He had an absolute blast and hasn’t stopped talking about it. The captain was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and great with my son. He made the trip fun while making sure we were set up for a successful day on the water. We couldn’t have asked for a better first fishing experience. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!

Morning Fishing Trip 6hr • 3 adultsHad an amazing day with Captain Chris and the Reel Cajun crew and made some life long memories with my son and one of my best friends who traveled all the way down from Indiana. Chris got us on fish immediately and we hammered the Sheepshead until Chris couldn’t get the box closed. Pulled in some hogs today and stuffed the freezer. Thanks to Captain Ryan and Captain Chris and the Reel Cajun Charters team for giving us an amazing day. Can’t wait to come back.

Evening fishing trip • 2 adultsRyan brought us out on a short run and put us on a hot spot of Black drum immediately. 2 limits in under an hour! Then we went looking for Reds and found them also. Had some realy nice ones ,kept 4. He let me fish a few different techniques and gave me some pointers to hone my skills. The boat was very well equipped with really nice tackle and bait. I would recommend fishing with Ryan to any anyone. Thanks Ryan. Excellent trip.

July is the time for speckled trout
Jul 7, 2023 • New Orleans
It's july, and we all know what that means, Speckled trout!
If you want to fish for speckled trout, this is the month to do it. The fish are plentiful with lots of action. Trout fishing is great for smaller kids as the amount of action will keep them entertained for hours, not to mention all the dolphins you will see.
