If you’re here to make the most of fishing in Chauvin, look no further than Crosswaters Guide Service.

These waters are home to Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Jack Crevalle, and more if conditions allow. On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light tackle. Capt. Stephen also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You’ll be casting lines from a 18’ Flats boat with room for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Crosswaters Guide Service.
