Bayou Charters has been Southeast Louisiana’s premier charter fishing booking service for accommodations, fishing, and outdoor activities since 1991, offering first-rate deluxe accommodations and top equipment. Captain Charlie Thomason created the ultimate experience on historic Bayou La Loutre overlooking the vast Louisiana marsh at the Silver Side and Lagniappe Lodges, where local favorites like seafood boils, jambalaya, and red beans and rice await guests on request.
Captain Charlie is one of the most sought-after charter captains along the Gulf Coast and a seasoned television host with more than 19 years of experience, having hosted programs on ESPN, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Fox Sports, NBC Sports, the Outdoor Channel, the Sportsman Channel, and local New Orleans Fox and NBC stations. He posts weekly informational videos on his YouTube channel, educating anglers on inshore coastal fishing techniques and concepts.
Captain Charlie’s accolades are extensive: in 2021 he became the first professional fisherman ever inducted into the St. Bernard Sports Hall of Fame, was voted “Most Educational Pro-Angler of the Year” by his peers (2014-2015), won the ESPN Redfish Cup All-Star Redfish Tournament elite series, and in summer 2015 was invited to fish the exclusive MadFin Shark Series produced by the owners of the Bassmasters tournament trail. He’s also been recognized as Best Guide for Chasing Big Trout, Best Guide for Filling the Box with Trout, Best Guide for Finding Slot Reds, and Best Guide for Kids & Family.
Bayou Charters is backed by sponsors including VersaMaxx, Honda Marine, Metro Boating, MirrOlure, and Blackjack Boats.
