To accomplish their mission, Donewar's Saltwater Guide Service has invested a lot of time and money in the equipment you'll be using on your Louisiana fishing adventure. From the smallest piece of terminal tackle to the state-of-the-art, 22.4 foot bay boat, everything has been thoroughly researched, tested and approved by Capt. Donewar. His 22.4 foot Blackjack Bay boat has been called one of the most modern, sleekest, fastest, safest and dependable fishing vessels on the water.

Powered by a 300-hp Mercury V8, guests will enjoy a quiet, comfortable and dry ride down the bayous and across the lower coastal bays. The Blackjack is equipped with everything one could imagine including two ten-foot power poles; dual aerated live wells at each end. Additional features include a Lowrance 12 inch screen GPS, cell phone, Marine Radio and AM-FM stereo.

Every charter with Donewar's Saltwater Guide Service is an all-inclusive trip. What you will not get are any "surprise charges" when you return home.

Guests will have the pleasure of using top-of-the-line Shimano spinning reels mounted on Bionic Blade Bass Pro rods.
