Tushhog Fishing
Tushhog Fishing
**LODGING, FUEL AND BAIT ARE INCLUDED IN THE TRIP PRICE (6 hr trip)**
Tushhog Fishing is here to show you the stunning waters of Empire, La. There are hundreds of square miles of inshore fishing, from bayous to bays and reefs to beaches. With Captain Peyton at the helm, you’ll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
Species like Black Drum, Redfish, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. On these trips, it’s common to use light tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You’ll be fishing aboard a 22’ Trophy bay boat with room for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures and live bait.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don’t forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Tushhog Fishing!

Great fishing trip with Captain Peyton
My husband, son, & I had the best fishing trip with Captain Peyton. He is very laid back and truly loves what he does. He worked hard to make sure we had the best experience and caught fish. We caught a ton of fish and we enjoyed every single moment of our fishing trip. He shared information with us about the area as we fished and recommend some great places to eat. He really is a good person and I think he had a good time watching us catch so many fish. We left with a good cooler full of filets and it's because he knows his business!

An incredible day of fishing!
My sons (11 and 7) had the *best* day fishing with Captain Peyton! Peyton was extremely patient with them and was a excellent instructor for all of us. And, wow, did we catch fish! We caught so many fish that we all lost count. One of my sons caught a fish that weighed almost half as much as he does. I'm certain that my boys and I will be talking about this trip for years. We would all highly recommend chartering a trip with Tushhog Fishing!!

Absolutely fantastic, hospitable, successful, last minute fishing trip for my 12 year old son & I. Peyton was very patient and taught my future fishing guide (12 year old) all the ins and outs of inshore fishing. Great accomodations for my son and I. Wonderful to be out on the water with an enthusiastic guide, focused on safety, and making sure the day met all of our expectations. Great conversations with Peyton and look forward to fishing with him again!!!

Captain Payton is super easy to communicate with, both pre trip planning and on the water. Fishing was a blast with a non-stop 6 hours of casting and catching. We hooked into Trout (spotted and white), Redfish, Sheepshead and Red Drum on live and artificial baits. All keepers were expertly cleaned and baged by the Captain at the end of the day.

Exciting and Excellent trip!
Day was filled with hours of non-stop catching, including redfish, white trout and spotted trout. Lots of keeper trout (way more than our large group could eat over two meals) and one keeper redfish, lots of redfish caught outside slot. Last catch of the day was a 3 ft bull redfish. What a blast! Captain was friendly and responsible, and hungry to find the biting fish!
