Vermilion Bay Charters 

Captain Lorrie did a phenomenal job. All we did was show up with a few snacks and sunscreen. He is a retired school teacher and coach so he was patient and a natural at teaching my daughter and son how to catch fish. They responded very well to him and we ended up catching a limit of speckled trout before 8:30! He was on time and his boat and equipment is first class. When we returned to the dock he cleaned and packaged the fish. Ice is plentiful and on site. All we did was provide the cooler to take the fish home. Captain Lorrie was a pleasure to fish with and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a day on the water fishing with a guide. Well worth it!

We had a 3 man limit on Speckled Trout, caught a few shark and other species. Captain Ardoin was very knowledgeable, hard working and we had a blast!! Will definitely book again!!

Great inshore trip with a very experienced captain. Capt Lorrie will put you on the fish and keep you entertained while doing it!

Our guide Lorrie and was a real pro, not only in fishing and hosting but in outstanding human relations; patient and able to keep everyone comfortable and at ease and even entertained with timely comments

I have fished with Capt. Lorrie Ardoin numerous times over the past few years. He has put us on great numbers of specks and reds in the Vermilion Bay area. This guy loves to fish, and even though fishing is his job, he still goes fishing on his days off. Nobody works harder to put his clients on fish, and he can tell stories for days to keep you entertained at all times. I plan to fish with him many more times in the future, and I recommend Capt. LA to all of my friends.

I have fished multiple times with Capt. Lorrie, and on each trip he has provided a successful and fun experience. Capt. Lorrie is very knowledgeable and works very hard to make your trip a success. On my trips, I have brought others who were beginners and one with special physical needs, and Capt. Lorrie was very patient and accommodating in each instance. On top of being a great Capt., he is very personable and fun to be around. I highly recommend Capt. Lorrie and Vermilion Bay Charters!

Just an awesome trip and everything was spot on! Captain Lorrie is very knowledgeable about the waters he fishes. He was focused on making sure we had a great time and caught some fish. His boat and equipment were in great shape. It was a great trip with a great guide - no doubt about it - I highly recommend booking him soon.

Awesome trip

I’ve been fishing with Captain Lorrie for years and will continue for years to come. He works hard and always puts you on the fish.

Captain Lorrie Ardoin made our fishing trip unforgettable. When conditions were difficult he quickly made adjustments to put us back on the fish. He is great with kids, showing my son how to cast correctly in windy conditions to get him in the best spot (now he's much better than me) and letting him help around the camp fetchig ice and feeding the scraps to the gators. We had a blast and will definitely be scheduling our next Vermillion Bay fishing trip with Mr. Lorrie.
