What to Include When Booking

When reaching out to schedule your trip, please be prepared to share the following information so we can give you the best possible options:


  • Your preferred trip date or range of dates
  • Number of people in your group
  • Whether you are interested in single or multi-day trips
  • If you will need onsite lodging at our fishing camp
  • Any specific fish you would like to target
  • Your level of fishing experience


With these details, we can match your trip to the right time, boat, and plan.

Booking Early is Recommended

Fishing conditions in Louisiana allow for year-round trips, but availability can fill up quickly during peak seasons. Spring and fall are especially popular for targeting redfish and trout. Large group trips and multi-day bookings should be made as early as possible to ensure lodging and boat availability.
