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.

Specs, whites and sharks

Jul 29, 2023 Slidell

Mark, Brannigan and Frank the tank had a blast catching today. We left out at 520am to beat some heat. Caught 11 nice fish 30 minutes out and continued to box at every stop. Finished up with 40 trout and had a great time.

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

This is a very well-equipped rig with an extremely knowledgeable captain. Captain James knows a variety of choice fishing spots and took us to a few. There were 4 on the charter and everyone was reeling them in. Really, Captain James is excellent and we will seek him out the next time we want to head out fishing.

The redfish bite wasn’t on, but Capt. James put us on plenty of fish. We caught and kept 55 fish. Releasing quite a few undersized fish. Capt. James was great from beginning to end. He paid particular attention to my fiancée who doesn’t have a lot of fishing experience allowing me to keep fishing.The boat was top notch.Next time we’re in La. we will be booking again. I still have a redfish to catch. We highly recommend this charter.

After booking the Capt called and asked if there were any special needs for the trip, and about a week before called again to see if we had any questions.That’s great customer service. The morning of our charter my wife chickened out and i went by myself, Had a wonderfull time. The Capt knows his stuff having lived in the area his whole life. The weather was less than perfect, But Capt James put us on one honey hole after another, Got my limit of redfish and the Capt offered to stay out and... More

What a great time. We had really high winds and mostly overcast skies but that did not stop Mr Florek from catching redfish. The bite was very consistent for a few hours . Thanks to the Floreks for choosing Rightside charter

If your looking for a Red Fish Charter and you want to not only catch a lot of fish but fish with good company, Captain James is the only guy I’d go to. One of the best experiences I have had on the water and Captain James was very accommodating. He is very knowledgeable and isn’t afraid to take you where others aren’t willing to go in order to get you that bite. He is a great guy at heart also and a blast to share stories with out on the water. When* not if we’re coming back to fish,... More

Memorial day. I cannot express my gratitude to all our troops who have served this great nation. Today from New York Bella books a surprise redfish trip for Shane. We left out of island marina in semi high winds. But that did not bother these two. We made our way into the marsh to find a slow start. But as the tide rose the redfish bite was on. They really put on a clinic. They casted like they owned the marsh. What a great day together catching some pretty reds. Well i think shane was surprised.... More
