Book an Authentic Inshore Fishing Trip with High Tide Charters in Lake Charles, LA

High Tide Charters, led by Captain Andrew, operates out of Lake Charles, Louisiana. As a full-time guide in the area, Captain Andrew has a wealth of experience on the local waters. With a focus on light tackle inshore fishing, he specializes in targeting Speckled Trout and Redfish. Throughout the year, he also pursues Flounder, Cobia, and Tripletail depending on the season. Winter is particularly exciting, with the chance to catch trophy-sized Speckled Trout.

Fishing trips with Captain Andrew take place on a 2017 Haynie 25’ bay boat, featuring a 350 HP Mercury Verado engine. Safety, comfort, and ample fishing space are ensured on this well-built vessel, complete with necessary navigation and safety equipment along with a live well for bait. For added convenience, Captain Andrew can arrange pick-up from the casinos in Lake Charles, allowing you to easily access the dock for your fishing adventure.

For an authentic fishing experience along the Louisiana coast, Captain Andrew is the go-to guide. Those interested in taking their catch home should bring an ice box, as live bait is not included but available for a separate fee. Additionally, remember to pack sunglasses and your fishing license, and you'll be out on the water in no time.
