Meet Captain Jonathan Allen
I’m a Louisiana native who grew up fishing the waters around south Louisiana and spent years learning the marshes of Delacroix, Hopedale, and St. Bernard Parish. Fishing started early for me and eventually turned from a passion into a full-time career.
I became a licensed charter captain in 2010 and have since guided thousands of anglers on redfish and speckled trout trips near New Orleans. I enjoy helping everyone from first-time anglers and families with kids to experienced fishermen looking for a productive day in the marsh.
My goal is simple on every trip: make the day easy, work hard, and give you the best chance at a fun, successful trip based on the season, tide, and conditions.
