Captain Daryl has been exploring the freshwater spillways of southern Louisiana since his youth. Eventually, he ventured to Grand Isle, Louisiana, to pursue deep-sea fishing guiding and hasn’t looked back since! Rather than sticking to just one fishing method, Captain Daryl adapts his techniques during charters based on how the fish respond. He is both attentive and personable, eager to ensure you not only land fish but also have an enjoyable experience. Take a look at Captain Daryl’s schedule below to join in on the excitement! He can accommodate flexible start locations to fit your needs.

Captain Daryl’s extensive knowledge, patience, and relaxed demeanor made our fishing trip perfect for beginners. He went the extra mile to help us catch the fish we targeted. Throughout our inshore adventure, we brought in all the species we hoped for! His instruction was outstanding, and he always made sure I felt comfortable despite my limited fishing background. Plus, his great sense of humor kept the mood light and fun the entire time. This was the best fishing trip I’ve ever experienced, and I’m already looking forward to the next outing with him!

Shrimping with Captain Daryl was equally impressive. He ensured we had everything necessary for a fantastic shrimping adventure. This was a wonderful experience, and Captain Daryl is top-tier—I highly recommend booking a trip with him. The tour was exceptional! I learned so much from Daryl, gaining hands-on experience in shrimp catching from start to finish. It’s an unforgettable excursion and a must for anyone interested in the craft of shrimping. This journey gave me a deep appreciation for the hard work shrimpers put in daily.

Daryl proved to be an outstanding guide—patient, knowledgeable, and personable. He thoroughly explained the process, and we left with two large ice chests brimming with freshly caught shrimp he had properly cooled for us. This delightful trip has us eager to join him again soon.

Cindy and Don from Shreveport, LA, shared their enthusiasm, saying Daryl is fantastic! They’ve fished with him twice, enjoying a laid-back atmosphere that feels like fishing with good friends. His helpfulness and expertise made both outings memorable.

Our shrimping trip with Daryl was a fantastic experience. He was an excellent guide, very informative, and made the whole adventure enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Thank you, Daryl! We really enjoyed the outing, not just for the experience itself, but also for the chance to learn more about you and your work.

Captain Daryl made our two-day trip truly wonderful. He was the first charter captain I’ve ever booked, and I wouldn’t hesitate to sail again with him. From the moment we met, his jokes and friendly nature made us feel like old friends. He quickly found us a steady stream of large trout—all perfect catches. I’m looking forward to doing it again soon.

Thanks for all the shrimp during our three-hour trawl, Daryl! Friendly, informative, and fun, with the added bonus of catching exactly what we wanted!
