Captain Jim Thibodeaux, a seasoned angler since 1995, will be your guide, ensuring big fun on the bayou. With his vast knowledge of the area and expertise, he will unveil the secret hideouts of the largest and most delicious fish.

Glide along the intricate waterways on a 25' Majek bay boat. This lightweight vessel is perfect for navigating narrow waters and can reach impressive speeds of up to 55 knots, thanks to its powerful 300 HP Yamaha engine. Enjoy the thrill of the wind in your hair as you chase after fish throughout the day, while the wireless trolling motor keeps you steady in the shallowest spots. Approach the wary fish with caution and get ready for a rewarding catch.

Capt. Jim specializes in targeting delectable food fish. Prepare to fill your fridge with flavorful Black and Red Drum, Speckled Trout, and the beloved Flounder. Prior to your trip, live bait will be provided, and the latest Daiwa rods ensure optimal results while jigging to entice bites. You can also use poppers, and experienced anglers are welcome to bring their own fly fishing gear on board.

At the end of your trip, Capt. Jim will clean and fillet your fish, allowing you to take home an abundance of freshly caught treasures. Ensure you have a fishing license from a tackle store or Walmart before the trip, and feel free to bring snacks and drinks to keep you refreshed throughout the excursion, safely stored in the onboard cooler.
