Captain
James Kennedy

Member since July 2020 Slidell, United States

Background: 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!
Techniques: Captain James usually fishes popping corks for Redfish and Speckled Trout. In the right conditions he'll use artificial lures. Sight fishing in the fall is one of his favorite styles.

Breezy tuesday

Jul 26, 2023 Slidell

Set out with the Moriarity team today to chase trout. It was a little bumpy in Lake Borgne but the breeze kept us breathing. Its hottt right now but the fish cooperated and we boxed some nice trout. And sharks. The bull sharks seem to be everwhere but they are fun to fight.

7 Hour Trip – Slidell

Capt. James was extremely accommodating for someone who has never fished in the area before. My wife, daughter and me took the 7 hour trip. He told us what time of day the fish would start biting and he knew when to move from spot to spot to keep catching fish. He not only told us where to throw but how to use the rod to our advantage so we got the maximum number of fish. He also made sure we got plenty of pictures to remember our time together. He offered information about the area as to which... More

What a great day with the monk family. We left out early into Lake P and started catching a few early. As the day progressed it got better. School teacher Rene really got it going but lets not forget about Jay as the fish bite was good. What a nice box of fish. Thanks you all for being patient. See yall soon

I surprised my husband with a birthday gift of fishing for a day. Captain James did not disappoint. He knew the right spots to take us from beginning to end. Despite the tide. wind issues and motion sickness we had a great time. Captain James taught me how to fish, I did pretty good for the first time, so dod my husband. Enjoyed the experience and look forward to the next one.

Thanks Capt. James at Right Side Charters for giving us every opportunity to catch them fishies in 100+ heat! Thank God for the pretty consistent breeze and the few specks and white trout that allowed themselves to be caught!!! And I even learned how to catch a trout on a lure although I am still partial to live bait!! We didn’t catch alot but enough to last a few meals until the weather cools off and we can head back out and try it again! Capt. James told me he would find me some speckled... More

Thanks to the Lamz for a great day. We started out at daybreak with 15-20 mph west wind. Headed to Lake Borgne and started off catching a few small white trout. Moved around a few times to try to box some speckled trout. The keepers were slow but we managed to put 20 trout on ice. In this heat and west wind a pretty good day.

Capt Fred was a top notch guide. From booking trip until heading home was one of my most enjoyable guided trips. Capt James contacted me quick and was helpful throughout the trip. Was my 1st time fishing Lake Pontchartrain and wouldn’t consider fishing with anyone else. Price was very reasonable and Fred & James knowledge of area gave me a memorable trip & an ice chest full of fish to bring home. If your considering fishing there Right Side Charters are the gentlemen to call.

Capt James and capt Fred rolled out together this morning and chased specs. We moved into one area and the specs started hitting the floor of the Skeeter 240’s. We only moved twice to stay on them. What a great day for Mrs Carol. She put on a clinic

A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work, which is why I love to go fishing even though I hardly ever catch anything. A GREAT day of fishing is what Captain James provided for us. I haven’t caught 34 fish in the last 10 years combined, but Captain James put us on a great spot. Not only 34 Trout, but I got a Bull Red, nice Sheepshead and a shark. Best day of fishing in a LONG time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAPTAIN JAMES!!!

Again Happy Birthday Rick. We stopped out on the edge of Lake Borgne and started catching nice specks right away. The water temps only gave us about 3 hours but we made the best of it. Great day. Thanks Rick and Brodi. And thanks Amanda for setting them up.
