The New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana region offers some of the finest fishing experiences worldwide, and Captain Mike is dedicated to making the most of these incredible opportunities. His passion for fishing keeps him on the water throughout the year because for him, this isn’t just work—it’s a lifestyle. A lifelong New Orleans native, Captain Mike grew up exploring both the inshore and offshore waters of Louisiana. Having fished in saltwater and freshwater locations across the country, he firmly believes that nothing compares to the stunning clear waters and marshlands of Louisiana, known as the Sportsman's Paradise.
During the winter months, Captain Mike guides waterfowl hunters in Arkansas, the duck hunting capital of the world, while in spring, summer, and fall, he chases species like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Snapper, and Black Drum in Louisiana’s waters. His operation is family-friendly and prioritizes ensuring every guest—whether friends, family, or clients—enjoys a safe, fun, and successful outing on the water.
As a proud father of three daughters, Captain Mike is passionate about encouraging more women and children to engage with outdoor activities such as fishing and hunting, making the experience welcoming and exciting for everyone.
We discovered all the best fishing spots, and despite one friend experiencing seasickness, our guide was incredibly kind and supportive, helping her overcome it and even offering to return if needed. The boat even includes a convenient onboard restroom for women, so there’s no need to worry about balance or discomfort. We reached our red snapper quota by 10 a.m. and also caught plenty of trout and redfish! Additionally, we encountered a variety of fascinating species like sharks, juvenile sharks, angelfish, and drums, all released safely back into the water. The entire trip was fantastic!
Mike did an excellent job putting us on the fish even with challenging 25 mph winds throughout the day—a tough scenario for any angler. Both my 5-year-old and 10-year-old kids joined us, and Mike showed great patience, helping them land some fish while I focused on fishing as well. The boat itself provided a smooth, comfortable ride accompanied by great tunes. Thanks again to Mike for giving my boys a memorable first time on the water—we can’t wait to fish with him again!
