On the Water

Fishing Buras

Buras is strategically located to access a fantastic mix of fishing environments. We often target redfish and speckled trout in the shallow marsh and estuarine systems that are characteristic of this region. The transition zones where freshwater meets saltwater are particularly productive, especially for flounder. Our charters out of Buras are perfect for anglers seeking a comprehensive inshore experience. Depending on the time of year and conditions, we can also venture into the nearshore waters for opportunities at black drum and larger redfish. This area provides a classic Louisiana delta fishing trip, combining great catches with the beauty of the coastal wetlands.

Wife and I booked with Captain Brent Roy. This is the first time we’ve booked a charter ever, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect. We had the quite possibly the best time of our lives fishing with him. He was awesome, easy going and extremely knowledgeable. We had a limit…
