Our Off Shore trips are run from a 28 foot Hydra Sport Vector Powered by twin Suzuki 250 HP outboards.  This boat is fast, getting you to the fish without a long lumbering ride.  The boat is licensed for up to 6 anglers per trip. (additional boats are available for larger parties)

Our Off Shore trips, like all of our trips can be tailored to your specific needs.  The normal trip will leave from Bridgeside Marina at first light.  You will witness a spectacular sunrise over the waters of the Gulf of Mexico as you travel to one of the many off shore oil and gas platforms that dot the Louisiana coast.  Breathtaking views as mother nature provides the backdrop for the start of a wonderful day.  As you travel into the gulf most days the porpoises are playing all around you.  Often times you are treated to aerial displays by feeding King Mackerel and sharks.

When you arrive at the first stop of the day you will be provided with new equipment that is in good shape and the adventure begins. Your Captain is there to help when needed but rest assured, you do the fishing.  The off shore trips will target any of a number of species including Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Grouper, King and Spanish Mackerel, Cobia (Ling, Lemon Fish), Trigger Fish and Amber Jack.  The truth is when you drop your line into the waters along side one of these rigs you never know what will take the bait.

Bluewater trips focus on Tuna, Dolphin, Wahoo and other species of the deep.

You, the customer will be provided with all of the fishing equipment that you need.  Further, we believe that there is no excuse for a captain or a crew that screams at it's customers for missing a hookset or breaking a line, it's all a part of fishing.

You will need to bring any beverages and food that you need for the day. Some catering can be arranged in advance.

Mangrove trips end at 2:00pm Bluewater trips typically run about 12 hours.  As the day draws to a close the boat returns to Bridgeside Marina where you are free to relax and unwind as your fish are cleaned and bagged for the ride home.

This is an all inclusive trip with no hidden cost.  Woman and children are always welcome, but beware they usually catch the most fish.

What do you need to do?  Make sure you dress for the conditions of the day, have plenty of sun screen and your camera.  Only soft soled, non marking shoes are allowed on the boat.  Have your ice chest handy so your filets have a nice cold ride home. All anglers will need a Louisiana Fishing License. Three day passes are available for $5.00.

Your deckhand is there to make your trip more enjoyable, please remember him at the end of the day.
