Captain's Jeff and Mary Poe, owners of Big Lake Guide Service, welcome you. For 20 years now, Big Lake Guide Service has been providing some of the best fishing and hunting experiences for visitors to Southwest Louisiana.
Captain's Jeff and Mary Poe, the owners of Big Lake Guide Service, would like to invite you to Southwest Louisiana to enjoy some of the finest fly and light tackle saltwater fishing on the Gulf Coast. Our service has been in operation since 1984 and has grown from one boat to seven boats. Calcasieu Lake and its tributaries are nationally known for the trophy speckled "sow" trout that it produces each year. All of our charterboat captains are U.S. Coast Guard licensed and insured, to guide you safely through your fishing adventure. All of our captains are full-time employees and have numerous hours of experience on the waters of Calcasieu Lake and close offshore rigs. They are very knowledable, personable, helpful and friendly.
In Calcasieu Lake and surrounding marshes, you can expect to catch the following species of fish:
Most Sought After Speckled Trout, Redfish and Flounder.
Incidental catch is Black Drum, Sand Trout, Croakers and Sheephead
In the Gulf of Mexico and along our many miles of beaches, you will find many species lurking. Not only will you catch Trout and Reds, you may also experience the fight of the following:
"Bull" Reds and Triple Tail
Spanish Mackerel and Cobia
All of the above species and many others are located near the oil platforms just offshore.
A full day of fishing lasts about 8 hours. We like to leave our dock at first, safe light. All charters will depart from our dock unless other arrangements are made in advance.
Our goal is to make sure that we give you and your guest our utmost attention, so that your experience with Big Lake Guide Service will be your most memorable.
