Hook & Reel Charters offers guided outdoor adventures in the waters and marshes of southeast Louisiana. Based in Delacroix, the company runs fishing trips from Delacroix, Shell Beach, and Hopedale seven days a week, with reservations available for groups of varying sizes. Guests can book fishing-only charters, seasonal duck hunts, or “Cast and Blast” packages that pair a morning hunt with afternoon fishing.

Captain Corey Gradwohl, a Metairie native with more than 20 years of experience on Louisiana waters, leads the trips and aims to make each outing enjoyable and productive. Fishing charters target species including redfish, speckled trout, black drum, flounder, and bass. Seasonal hunts may offer opportunities for ducks such as gadwall, widgeon, pintail, teal, shoveler, scaup, mallards, and redhead.

The company supplies fishing equipment, including Daiwa rods and reels, and uses a Haynie 25 Magnum boat for fishing and a custom-built mud boat for hunting. Trips typically last five to six hours. Rates vary by party size, and hunting packages are subject to season and minimum-party requirements.
