Whiskey Bayou Charters is an inshore guide service located in the fishing village of Delacroix, LA within 45 minutes of downtown New Orleans. It is owned and operated by me, Captain Joe Ezell. My passion for fishing goes back to my childhood years, and nothing would make me happier than to see you catching fish on a charter with me. You will be fishing aboard a 25’ Majek bay boat that’s powered by a 300 HP Yamaha F300XCA 4 stroke engine, making it able to easily achieve a cruising speed of an impressive 50 knots. In addition to all the necessary safety and navigation gear, the boat is also equipped with a Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra trolling motor, twin Minn Kota Talon shallow water anchors, and a Lowrance HDS 12 GPS/fishfinder. You will fish with premium Cajun Custom Rods Savannah series spinning rods, Penn Conflict II reels spooled with Spiderwire Invisibraid line, and Bomber saltwater grade terminal tackle. I use premium tackle because I never want equipment failure to cause the loss of a catch. I do not book any trip shorter than a full day because I want to be able to fully devote myself to my clients, and make sure you have the best possible experience. A standard trip involves fishing the inshore waters in the Delacroix marsh for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. I will have all the gear and bait at the ready prior to your arrival so you can focus on the most important part: fishing. Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price, and anything you catch will be cleaned, filleted, and bagged after the trip for your convenience. You will need to bring along a valid fishing license that can be bought online. A pair of polarized sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, and rain gear are also highly recommended.
