About Your Guide:
Captain Danny Wray is a licensed Coast Guard Captain as well as an experienced and knowledgeable fisherman who is eager to share his experience with you. As a Heritage Endorsed Guide, Capt. Wray can provide you with value insight on kayak fishing techniques, rigging and strategies. He has been featured in magazines such as Field and Stream, Tide, Louisiana Sportsman, Gulf Coast Fisherman, Canoe and Kayak, Marsh and Bayou, and on the TV show Journey South, airing on Cox Sports. Look for Capt. Wray's column, Kayaker's Corner, in Marsh and Bayou Magazine.

Danny offers customers a unique approach to coastal Louisiana inshore fishing near Grand Isle, Louisiana. Their specialty is providing a memorable day on the water. Their trips are designed to provide an exciting angling experience. Many days we will use our Carolina Skiff to transport you to scenic marsh islands that are otherwise unreachable by paddling alone. At other times of the year, we will trailer our Heritage Redfish Angler Kayaks to locations that enable us to use the tides and wind to access marsh ponds otherwise unreachable by conventional water craft. When the speckled trout move off the beaches, we will take you there to experience an enhanced version of wade fishing, where you will learn stealthly kayak drifting techniques that will enable you to stay with the school of trout. Danny's website is at www.calmwatercharters.net

Kayak fishing is the hottest sport on the Gulf Coast - and with good reason! Hooking a big Redfish from the seat of a kayak is a thrill of a lifetime. On this special trip, we've taken care of all the details - so that you can drive down, relax and enjoy. We've booked a custom guided kayak fishing trip with Professional Guide Danny Wray in Grand Isle for this special trip.
We'll leave Lafayette and carpool down to Grand Isle where we'll stay at Danny and Kristin Wray's beautiful fishing camp, "The Guidehouse". You'll arrive to the smell of Danny's barbque grill and enjoy a great meal at the Guidehouse, having fun talking about tomorrow's adventure. The next morning, you'll be woken early to the smell of cooking as your guides prepare a hearty breakfast. We'll then load up and head to the marsh. During the next 6 hours, you'll enjoy some of the best red and spec fishing in the country, guided by Danny Wray. Danny will provide kayaks, paddles, PFD's, and bait. Participants should bring their own rods and reels.

After the fishing, we'll head back to Danny's camp where you can shower while he cleans and prepares your fish for travel back to Lafayette. The hospitality of the Wray's combined with the beauty and fishing action of the marsh will make for a memorable weekend whether you are a beginning kayak fisherman or a veteran.
This trip is limited to only 4 participants, so sign up early!
