It was a pleasure to spend the day with Captain Frenchy. While other boats were racing around trying to find fish, Captain Frenchy was setting me up and helping me Reds, Speckled Trout, and the largest Sheepshead I could imagine catching.  His knowledge of the area and passion for fishing made for an exciting day. His boat and equipment were top notch and he went to all efforts to ensure I caught a variety of fish when no other boats could. Will definitely come back and book Captain Frenchy again!

Despite suboptimal fishing conditions my 9 year old son and I had a fantastic time with Captain Frenchy. In fact, my son said it was a “10 out of 10” and that he was “super funny and super fun”. We caught numerous different species of fish (all small), lost a few more due to our ineptitude, and saw numerous small alligators on the way back. Captain Frenchy was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. We absolutely plan to return to another trip with him and would recommend to others.

Henry and I had an absolute blast learning how to catch speckled trout with Captain Frenchy. It was such an amazing day. We got to see some cool wildlife and caught a TON of fish.  Captain seemed to know exact where to find the fish. Highly recommended.  I hope we can do it again someday.

Captain Frenchie is an incredible guide—experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure you have the best possible fishing trip. He goes out of his way to accommodate and make the experience both fun and successful.

What sets this trip apart is the one-on-one attention. Unlike big, crowded boats, it’s just you, a friend, and Captain Frenchie, so you get expert instruction the entire time.

He doesn’t just put you on fish—he teaches you the right techniques, retrieval methods, and explains the “why” behind it all. He’s the definition of “teach a man to fish.”

His boat is fast, clean, and built for serious fishing. Standing on the bow, you feel like a tournament angler ready to land a big one.

Next time I’m in New Orleans, I’m fishing with Captain Frenchie again. If you’re on the fence, just book it—you won’t regret it.

  My wife and I had an amazing experience on Oct. 7, 2024 chartering a half-day excursion into the Gulf with Captain Frenchy. The Captain placed our comfort as paramount and followed all protocol for a safe adventure.

  We are used to fishing freshwater lakes in Colorado, so this was a new experience for us. Captain Frenchy instructed us on a unique (to me) angling method consisting of Live Shrimp for bait under a popping cork. It worked well!

  He has an amazing ability to read the water and know where the fish were. I can only conclude this talent was developed after many years of experience.

  Our prize catch was a Sheepshead- the teeth on that thing were amazing! We hooked a few Redfish and caught numerous Speckled Trout as well. The option of having them cleaned and fileted and transported a restaurant for preparation exists. We opted for catch and release.

  The Captain’s easy manner and amiability were impressive. All of our needs were satisfied and he went way beyond our expectations. Anyone looking for a positive experience fishing the Gulf should consider booking a trip.

Thanks Captain Frenchy! You made our day!
