About  Us  Page
Since 1984 Capt. LaCour has fished the marshes of southeast
Louisiana for redfish and other inshore species.  In 1994 he was one of
only two guide services that began to truly pioneer fly fishing in
Louisiana.  Capt. LaCour took it beyond just redfish and speckled trout
and pursued many other inshore species and freshwater game fish
also.  In 1999 he decided to target inshore saltwater species only and
found his slogan,
"See the fish, Catch the Fish"!

He is an avid fly fisher, fly tyer and regularly does seminars and
speaking engagements on fly fishing and fly casting around the United
States.

As an author & photographer he has been published in numerous
articles for magazines and books on fly fishing in Southeast Louisiana
& the Gulf Coast.  
He is a member of the FFF, & IGFA and is a Certified Casting Instructor.

He has produced 6 World Record Catches for clients.

Background before guiding:
He is a native of south Louisiana, growing up in a small "cajun" town
on the banks of the Atchafalaya River.  Hunting, fishing, trapping, and
the outdoors were a way of life, not just hobbies.  
In 1990 he returned to college to pursue two B.A.'s simultaneously, one
in Criminal Justice, the other in Communications and graduated in
1993.  He worked in shipyards and the tourist business as a
Security/Safety Director and still participates in Crisis Management
training within the public school system.
He is married, with children
                        Oh, and on his day off, he goes fishing!
What to expect on a trip with Red Chaser
Charters
Sight fishing for redfish and other species is
what we do.  Therefore, our motto,
"See the
fish, Catch the fish"
, is our main objective.  
It is mostly visual stalking and making
presentations to the fish.  This is what
makes it so special and a trip to remember.  
We sight fish with fly and casting tackle, so
our motto is prevalent no matter how you
like to fish!
However, if the weather is not cooperating
to sight fish, we can find fish other ways.
Your partner does not fly fish or fish at all
We do not only fly fish, but provide the following
services for the fisher and non-fisher:
  • spin or casting tackle   
  • incredible scenic views and wildlife abound for
    outstanding photo op's
  • fantastic sunrises & sunsets
  • Also, the peace and quiet is a joy in it self.  The
    quiet can be deafening!

This is
the boat
you will
fish from.  
Just
imagine
that could
be you
enjoying
a
wonderful
day in the
Louisiana
marsh
If you would like to fish durable flies, or want to
buy our patterns, contact us and we will be happy
to take your order.  We have been tying flies for
over 17 years and have supplied fly shops,
lodges, and anglers from around the world.  

"Our own patterns are tied then tested by us
everyday"  We know they catch fish!!
Standing on the bow of the boat your eyes scan the
water looking for that contrast of color, nervous
water, a slightly darker spot on the bottom.  This is it,
the hunt, the stalk, all the preparation & anticipation,
looking for that opportunity........The boat moves
forward slowly, quietly, and the quiet is broken, The
captain calls out,
"Redfish, 10 o'clock & 30 feet!  
Point your rod, left, left, Stop, there!"
 Yes, you see it,
now cast and ....
"He ate it, strip set, clear your line,
keep you rod low,  that's it, now enjoy the ride!"     
Just another day in the greatest red fishery in the
world!!!
