Shane York

Member since November 2017 Port Sulphur, United States
Background
Hello, my name is Capt. Shane and I own Gripping Lips Guide Service. We mostly fish the waters south of the New Orleans area. This includes Myrtle Grove, Lafitte, the Four Bayou area, and Grand Isle. We specialize in inshore fishing for giant Redfish and Speckled Trout. Shallow-water sight fishing is our specialty, and we excel in that type of fishing. The Spyder Vapor drafts in 7 inches of water. If fly fishing is your thing, this is the charter for you.
Techniques
We prefer artificial lures. We may be stalking giant reds in the shallows, or chasing down speckled trout. We accommodate everyone, from the expert fisherman, to the beginner. We are patient and try to teach everyone something new that the customer can take back to their home waters. Don't worry! We will carry shrimp on the boat most times in case the bite is super tough. During the summer, make sure you dress in something cool. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. We usually have sunscreen on the boat, just in case. We catch a lot of big reds in the winter time. Don't let the weather scare you off. Most winters in New Orleans are mild, and the fish are biting! Just make sure you dress in warm clothes. A tip is to bring a rain suit even if it's not raining. It blocks the wind! Check out our channel on YouTube. Gripping Lips Fishing. We film most of our trips, so you always have that to go back and watch!
