See Our Charters35 Minutes from Downtown New Orleans
You came for New Orleans. Now get into the marsh: redfish and speckled trout on the line, ducks working the decoys at first light, and a captain who grew up out here.
Where New Orleans Meets the Marsh
Waterfowl Specialist is Capt. Jimmy Corley's guide service just outside New Orleans, where the city gives way to open marsh. Jimmy was born and raised here, and he runs inshore fishing charters plus duck, alligator and nutria hunts on water he has known his whole life. You don't have to be an experienced angler or hunter. Bring the family or bring the crew.

The Charter Fishing Experience You REALLY Want!
If you want to know why we have hundreds of 5-star reviews – It’s the EXPERIENCE you’ll enjoy when you fish or hunt with us.
What does that mean?
For starters, we take care of everything for you. Bait, tackle, packing drinks, we even make you lunch!
Or if you stay with us at our lodge, it’s breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Then, there’s no “nickel-and-dime” games like many other guides like to play.
We charge one fair price for your trip and that includes bait AND fuel are in the price of your trip.
In short, we treat you the way we like to be treated – like friends.
But it’s not just the experience that sets us apart — it’s the results.
When conditions get tough and other captains start making excuses, we keep working. We don’t quit when the bite gets hard, the weather changes, or the fish make us earn it.
We go the extra mile, stay on the hunt, and do everything we can to put you on fish, ducks, or gators. That’s why our customers come back, and that’s why they trust us.
Born and raised right here, he knows these waters like the back of his hand. That local knowledge, paired with relentless effort, is what consistently puts our clients on the action.

See the LodgeWhat to Expect Fishing New Orleans
We fish all year here, and there's something to catch every month. The marshes east of New Orleans, around Delacroix, Hopedale and the MRGO, are a short run from the dock. Speckled trout, redfish, black drum, flounder and sheepshead all live here, and we catch them on plastics and live shrimp around nearshore rigs, oyster beds, sunken islands, the rocks and under the birds. Out near the rocks there's a good chance you'll see a dolphin or two. It's a great place to bring kids: calm water, their own rods and plenty of action.
Meet Capt. Jimmy Corley
Jimmy was born and raised in these marshes. He knows where the trout and reds are holding, and he can call just about any species of duck. When the bite gets tough or the weather turns, he keeps working, and that's a big reason guests come back year after year.
