Expert Fishing Trips in the Heart of South Louisiana
Welcome to Backwater Guide Service, where passion, experience, and guaranteed results come together. Founded over 25 years ago by Captain Tony Grose, this Louisiana fishing charter offers custom backwater adventures for all skill levels. Whether you are chasing trophy Speckle Trout and Redfish, learning how to cast for the first time, or planning a weekend getaway with a group, Backwater Guide Service delivers unmatched fishing trips across the marshes and waterways of Southeast, Louisiana.
Captain Tony was born and raised in the region, and he brings more than three decades of hard-earned knowledge to every trip. His no-nonsense approach and deep respect for the local fishery have earned him a strong reputation as one of the top guides in the state.
No Group Too Big. No Limits on Fun.
Unlike most fishing charter services, Backwater Guide Service can accommodate any party size. With access to more than fifteen fully equipped boats, clients can book single boats or large group excursions without compromise. This flexibility makes the charter ideal for everything from solo bookings and family outings to bachelor parties, reunions, or corporate retreats.
Each boat is outfitted for performance and comfort. The primary vessel is a TRITON 240LTS. Onboard equipment includes advanced fish finders, radar, GPS navigation, communication systems, and full lighting for early morning or evening trips.
Onsite Lodging at the Private Fishing Camp
For guests who want to stay overnight or plan multi-day trips, the charter offers access to a private fishing camp. Located in close proximity to the boat launch, the camp includes comfortable sleeping arrangements, a full kitchen, clean restroom facilities, and outdoor areas to relax after a day on the water.
This lodging option eliminates the need for hotel searches or long morning drives. Anglers can wake up on location, step outside, and be on the boat within minutes. It is an ideal choice for groups, families, or anyone wanting a more immersive fishing experience.
Species You Can Target Year-Round
Fishing in South Louisiana offers year-round variety. Depending on the season and water conditions, clients can target a range of local favorites. Backwater Guide Service routinely pursues the following species:
- Speckled seatrout
- Redfish

Whether casting in shallow marshes or venturing into nearby bays, Captain Tony adjusts each trip to maximize results based on conditions and client preferences.
