Calmwater Charters offers
customers a unique approach to coastal Louisiana inshore fishing near Grand Isle, Louisiana.
Our specialty is providing a memorable day on the water. Our trips are designed to provide an exciting angling
experience. Many days we will use our new ProKat 22' Catamaran to transport you to scenic marsh islands that
are otherwise unreachable by paddling alone. At other times of the year, we will trailer our Native Water Craft Ultimate 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. We fish year round in Grand Isle - and you can too!
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 shows Journey South,
Louisiana Sportsman TV and Paradise Louisiana airing on Cox Sports. Look for Capt. Wray's column, Kayaker's
Corner, in Marsh and Bayou Magazine.
Our 2011 Native Water Craft Ultimate
Kayaks are equipped with everything you'll need to enjoy a unique angling experience. Our standard equipment includes a bow
or stern mounted anchor, mud anchor or Stinger Anchor system, a seat with back rest, a graphite double paddle, a Coast
Guard approved floatation device, an aerated portable live bait bucket (if you prefer live bait), and fishing gear.
You are welcome to bring your own rod and reel, if you choose. For 2012 we will also offer Kayak Sail Trips. We
will equip you with a Hobie Outback/ Mirage peddledrive system and sail to cruise the bay behind Grand Isle, weather and wind
permitting. These are guided kayak trips. Please call for reservations.
Calmwater Charters also provides guided conventional fishing trips, and Kayak Estuary/Birding
Tours. If you enjoy Flyfishing, we also offer charters for one or two fishermen on our new 17' beavertail poling skiff. Click
