With over 40 years navigating the Barataria Basin, Captain Paul is the veteran backbone of Marsh Monster Charters. Before GPS and high-tech gear, Paul was learning the "language" of the marsh by heart. He brings that rare, old-school intuition to every bowfishing trip—knowing exactly where the monsters hide before the lights even hit the water.
Now fishing alongside his son, Captain Brandon, Paul specializes in putting clients on trophy Alligator Gar and Redfish using decades of hard-earned local knowledge. When you step onto his boat, you aren’t just getting a guide; you’re getting an authentic piece of Louisiana legacy.
Experience: 40+ Years in the Lafitte Backwaters
The Vibe: No-nonsense, honest, and "old-school" Cajun
Specialty: Nighttime Bowfishing & Marsh Navigation
