You will not be disappointed. ” --- “Capt Ezell was the greatest – very courteous, knowledgeable and professional!

We strive to make sure you have a fulfilling trip, but we have to call it around the 7-hour mark. --- In order to be prepared for all weather, it is suggested that you bring clothing appropriate for the forecasted weather during your trip. Sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses (a spare if you have it), hat (a spare), rain gear, snacks and drinks/water, any medication you may require before we get back to the dock. --- We fish off of a 2022 Majek 25+Xtreme bay boat powered by a Mercury Pro XS 300 4 stroke engine. We always maintain all of our gear in top shape to ensure you have a quality trip. --- If it is not a severe downpour with lightning, the captain may fish (some of our best catches come in inclement weather). However, if I see that the weather is dangerous (lightning, strong winds) or we are not able to fish, we will gladly reschedule or refund your deposit. The guide will make the call on the weather. --- Please do, I am very passionate about what I do, and I truly enjoy sharing what I know about the species we chase and the marsh we chase them in. Ask all the questions you want, and I will do my best to answer them. --- Absolutely not! ! I get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from helping people learn how to catch fish... In short, that is the part of the job I enjoy the most. I welcome folks that don’t fish much! ! ! --- Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Flounder, Bass --- A very wise guide told me one time, “never guide the guide. ” It is more important to me than it is to you that you catch a lot of fish and have a great day. I build my business of off repeat bookings, and that is difficult to do if you don’t have a successful trip. That being said, I will always target the species that we have the best chance of catching, based on the specific conditions we are presented with the day of your charter. I can guarantee effort. I cannot guarantee limits... that is why it is called fishing and not catching. --- You will need a 3-day charter license. You can get it by phone 1-888 765-2602 or online at Louisiana Department of Wildlife And Fisheries. --- We use Diawa reels and rods for all of our charters - 3000 series BackBay reels and Tatula XT Spinning rods. We fish braided line on all of our gear, opting for Seaguar TACTX braided line in 20lb Test. You will ALWAYS fish with top-notch gear with no exceptions. I never want equipment failure to cause a client to have a bad trip. --- --- > Big Swamp Redfish with Captain Joe Ezell of Whiskey Bayou Charters Captain Joe Ezell of Whiskey Bayou Charters puts the Headin' South team on big redfish in Delacroix, LA. ---
