General

Do I need a fishing license?
Yes, all anglers must have a valid Louisiana recreational fishing license. You can purchase one online at the Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries website (https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/recreational-fishing-licenses-and-permits). Licenses are available for 1 day, 3 days, or a full year. Bring your license confirmation (printed or on your phone) to the charter.
Can I book the lodge without a charter?
Lodge-only stays are available by special request. The lodge is automatically available when you book a charter package. If you're interested in booking the lodge without a charter, please contact Captain Jonathan at (504) 232-6227 to discuss your dates and availability.

Booking & Reservations

How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May through September). However, we do accept last-minute bookings based on availability.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations made 48 hours or more before your trip receive a full refund. Cancellations within 48 hours are subject to a 50% cancellation fee. Weather-related cancellations are always fully refunded.

What to Bring

What should I bring on the charter?
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, comfortable clothing, and any personal snacks or beverages. We provide all fishing equipment, bait, and tackle.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes everyone needs to have their own Louisiana Saltwater Fishing License.

Charter Experience

What if I get seasick?
We recommend taking motion sickness medication before your trip. Dramamine or Bonine work well when taken the night before and morning of your charter.
Can we keep the fish we catch?
Yes! We clean and bag your catch at no extra charge. We follow all state regulations regarding size and bag limits.
