New Orleans Style Fishing Charters

We had the best time on our guided fishing trip with Capt. Jason. He knew all the best spots to catch our limits on Trout, Reds and Black Drum. We appreciated his quick wit and funny personality as well as his knowledge and history of the areas we fished. We will definitely be booking another trip. Thanks again Capt. Jason.

Captain, you are a true professional! You managed to duplicate the best fishing experience I've ever had with you in 2016, and made it even better during my August 2018 visit!First off, the boat ride was the best driving on water I have ever seen! The way you ride the in the wake of other boats was comforting, and when it was time to break away for the final stretch of our destination, the way you rode over the waves was flawless. You have a way of making those of us (mostly me) who are squeemish on water forget all about our concerns.The speed was perfect. All though I am bald, I was perfectly fine imagining the wind whipping through my hair as if I were in a movie. The way you executed your turns were fluid, and most importantly, your confidence made me confident. Then we arrived at our destination.Rarely can you count on someone to do things the exact same way they did it the first time; but you did just that. Once you shut off the main engine, you did what I remembered you did the first time; you surveyed the water with confidence. After working the trolling motor for a bit you put us on the those reds in that tight water way. Though my casting wasn't always great in the water way (I felt you expected better of me:)), you stayed patient when you had to untangle the lines. The artistry you displayed in popping the heads off of those shrimp with your thumb in one hand, in order to keep our hooks baited every time they came out of the water empty was sick!During our time fishing for Redfish I was floored by your ability to recall just about every facet of our conversation from TWO YEARS ago! Your humor is on point, your conversation was fluent and complimented your down to earth personality.Earlier in our conversation I mentioned I really wanted to catch those Black Drums like we did in 2016. So, once again, we caught our limit of Reds. After which, because of his attentive nature, we were off to chase those Drums. He doesn't miss anything on that boat; it is awesome to behold a real professional working his craft!After pulling up to some wood structure protruding from the water, Jason removed the bobbers/corks, placed the shrimp on a weighted hook and I made my first cast just in front of the structure. Within seconds I had my first big Drum on the line - how does he do it?! We stayed probably less than an hour and caught our limit. If I could just get Jason into a casino with me jackpots beware.Jason, I am a fan of your craft and your work ethic! Anytime I come to NOLA you will be on my itinerary. Thanks again.I also want to give tremendous thanks to Tony for getting us to and fro in New Orleans. He indeed is a professional, and I cannot figure out when he has time to sleep.His knowledge of where everything is and how to get to it is immeasurable. His food recommendations are on point and he is entertaining from start to finish during the ride. You will not be bored for a second; I promise you.He provides great rates, and as a true professional, will be on time every time. Tony is and will be the only person we call to pick us up and take us around when we come to New Orleans. You will not find a better driver!Lastly, to all television producers of these amazing fishing shows, find a slot for Captain Jason Shilling so he can share his genius with the world!Regards,Ben

Fished with Jason out of Lafitte and had a great day on the water. He has nice gear and a nice boat so that made for a comfortable setup. A Little rain and lightening that caused a later than planned start but it was well worth it. He put us right on fish and did so all day. We landed 80-90 fish between 2 boats in ~5 hours of fishing that consisted of red fish and specs! Pretty insane! He is very experienced in the local fishing areas and also is a fun guy to be on the water w all day. Cool guy who keeps the jokes coming. I would highly recommend him and will absolutely consider another trip next time in NO.

Two great days of fishing! Jason and the other captains are amazing. Total class act!

If you're looking for a great experience, Jason will not let you down. My wife and I both had a blast fishing during our vacation, (she's never fished before) he was patient and showed her the ropes and made it fun for us both. He even let her reel in a few that he had on the line, but shortly after she caught a few of her own. He took us to multiple spots and kept the whole experience fun. Definitely a great charter captain!

My wife and I had the pleasure of going on a charter with Captain Jason and he made the experience awesome! We talked the whole time and it felt like we had been knowing him all our lives. If he interacts with everyone, the way he interacted with me and my wife, I can't imagine how or why anyone would leave a negative review. The problem definitely lies with THEM! My wife and I 10/10 would DEFINITELY do it again and this charter is HIGHLY recommended!!!

Captain Jason was made it a great time. we wanted to redfish even though it wasn't prime time for them. He got us on the red fish and let us finish our day catching trout. WOW. Jason worked his tail off on the trout. 30 or so keepers in less than 30 minutes. We will be booking with him again in the future. He's a down to earth guy that enjoys the outdoors.

Excellent time Jason the captain was great. We caught a lot of fish and had a blast the entire time. Would definitely plan on going again

My friends and had a fishing trip planned with the Captain. We were visiting from far away and had only one day we could fish. Unfortunately, the weather was not most ideal - probably would have not caught any fish due to the cold front and 10-15 mph wind. The Captain was super professional and canceled the trip and did not charge us a deposit. Also per the Captain's recommendation, we contacted Tony to arrange for transportation to and from the fishing trip. He also picked us up from and to airport at much, much cheaper price than other competitors. If I come back to New Orleans, I am contacting Tony for transportation and New Orleans Style Fishing Charters to go fishing!

Awesome captains! They knew right where the fish were! My two sons and I had a wonderful time and caught lots of fish
