It's the perfect setup for serious anglers who love to wade fish and want to maximize their time on the water.
This ain't your average fishing trip, folks. We're talking three full days of chasing specks and reds in the pristine waters of the Chandeleur Islands. Our mothership is your floating hotel, complete with two bedrooms sporting private bathrooms. After a day of casting, you'll kick back with gourmet grub (think prime rib and pork loin) and all the non-boozy drinks you can handle. We've got AC to keep you cool, WiFi to keep you connected, and a Smart TV for when you need a break from fish tales. All you need to bring is your gear and your favorite tipple - we've got everything else covered.
Get ready to wet a line in some of the skinniest, fishiest water you've ever seen. We're using specialized 17' skiffs to access the sweet spots where the big boys hang out. Wade fishing is the name of the game here - there's nothing like feeling the sand between your toes as you sight-cast to tailing reds. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand, so you'll be on fish from sunup to sundown. We'll show you the hottest techniques for fooling wary trout and reds, whether it's working a topwater or finessing a soft plastic.
The Chandeleur Islands are a fish factory, plain and simple. Our anglers have been crushing it lately, with limits of fat speckled trout and bull reds that'll make your drag sing. The shallow flats are perfect for sight fishing, and there's nothing quite like watching a big red crush your lure in gin-clear water. When the bite is on, it's not uncommon to rack up 50+ fish days. And let's not forget about the occasional bonus species like flounder or jack crevalle that might crash the party.
Speckled Trout: These spotted speedsters are the bread and butter of Chandeleur Islands fishing. Known for their aggressive strikes and delicious fillets, specks hang out around grass beds and oyster reefs. They're suckers for soft plastics and topwater lures, especially during the early morning and late evening feeds. Fall and spring are prime time, but you can catch them year-round. There's nothing quite like the thump of a gator trout inhaling your lure.
Redfish: The bulldogs of the flats, redfish will test your tackle and your patience. These copper-colored brutes love to cruise the shallows, often with their backs out of the water. Sight-fishing for tailing reds is an adrenaline rush like no other. They'll eat just about anything, from crabs to cut bait to artificial lures. The fall run brings in schools of bull reds, but you can tangle with these bruisers all year. When a big red gets on your line, hold on tight - they've got a reputation for epic battles.
Listen, I've guided all over the Gulf Coast, and there's something special about the Chandeleur Islands. Maybe it's the remote location, the crystal-clear water, or the sheer number of fish. But I reckon it's the whole package. Where else can you fish all day in a pristine environment, then retire to a floating luxury hotel? Our repeat customers rave about the food, the comfort, and of course, the non-stop action. It's like a fishing camp for grown-ups, with all the amenities you could want.

Redfish are the rockstars of our shallow waters here in the Chandeleurs. These copper-colored bruisers typically range from 20 to 30 inches, with some real giants lurking in deeper channels. Look for them tailing in water so shallow their backs break the surface - it's a sight to behold. They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and marsh edges. Fall is prime time, but you can catch them year-round if you know their patterns. Reds put up a stubborn fight and taste great on the grill, which is why our guests can't get enough of them. For best results, try sight-casting with gold spoons or soft plastics. My go-to trick is to use a popping cork with live shrimp - the noise drives them crazy. Just be ready when they hit - these fish can strip line in a heartbeat!

Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a blast to catch around the Chandeleur Islands. These silver beauties usually run 14-24 inches and put up a great fight. You'll find them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They love to hit artificial lures like jerk baits and topwater plugs. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but winter can be good too if you know where to look. Locals prize sea trout for their delicate, mild flavor - they're excellent eating fish. When you're out there, try slow-trolling along grass edges to locate schools. Once you find them, light tackle and a stealthy approach are key. These fish spook easy, so keep your movements quiet. Nothing beats the thrill of a big speck crushing a topwater lure at dawn. Just remember not to overcook them if you're planning a fresh catch dinner.
