Why Book This Trip

Five Hours On The Best Structure Near The Dock

Within 40 miles of Fourchon Marina, the reefs, wrecks, oil platforms, and pipeline crossings hold some of the best bottom fishing in Louisiana. Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Amberjack, Grouper, Lane Snapper, and Sheepshead stack up on this structure year round. We bottom fish, drift, and troll depending on what the bite is doing that day.

With federal reef permits, we are licensed to fish Red Snapper and all reef species in federal waters beyond the 9-mile limit where state-only charter boats are required to stop. Not every charter out of Grand Isle or Fourchon has this permit — booking with us means access to better water and bigger fish.

Everything You Need Is On The Boat

Why Book The Half-Day Trip

Big Fishing, Half The Day

  • Excellent Value
  • Best Option For Those Short On Time
  • AM Or PM Departure Times Available
  • Great For Kids, Families, Or Senior Anglers

We leave Fourchon Marina or Grand Isle at 6:00 AM or 1:00 PM and run straight to the most productive structure within 40 miles. Red Snapper are our most requested target, and our federal reef permits give us access to fish them in federal waters where most charter boats cannot go. This trip works for serious anglers, families, kids on their first offshore trip, and senior anglers who want to fish hard without a full-day commitment — you're back at the dock before noon with a full fish box.
