Captain James Kennedy's been fishing waters of South Louisiana his entire life. He's a native of this area and a Coast Guard licensed captain. As a young boy, he had a dream of fishing professionally. After many years of fishing in tournaments he succeeded in qualifying for the 2006 Bassmaster Classic and spent the next few years fishing nationally as an Elite Series fisherman. This was a milestone achievement he would always remember. Spending so much time on the Louisiana local waters, he's become an expert on them. Today, he enjoys the most taking other people out and watching them catch fish. Reach out to Captain James and together enjoy unique fishing in South Louisiana!

July fishing trip
4 Hour Trip on July 20, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children
Captain James did a fantastic job getting us on the fish early! He knew exactly where to go, and we were catching fish in no time. He was great with the kids, and made sure they had an unforgettable experience. We had a great time and would definitely book with Captain James again. Highly recommend!
