"Captain Brandon Carter of Reel Shot Guide Service is by far the best all around guide and outfitter in lower Plaquemines Parish, the Venice, Louisiana area.  My friends and I have made several trips with Capt. Brandon and I can honestly say they have all been a great success and really just awesome fun-filled trips.  A tribute to his success is his tremendous passion for fishing and a huge amount of knowledge for the delta area.  Fishing with Captain Brandon is an experience that anyone would love, can't wait til the next trip Brandon, rat hole some of those big Venice sow trout for that April full moon!!!"

~Ryan Pruetts, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

"My group has fished with Captain Brandon for over 10 years now.  Brandon is very pleasant to be with, is very intelligent and works hard to provide his clients with a great experience.  He is also very willing to share his knowledge which has made me a better fisherman.  Unlike many guides, Brandon attempts to fish very little, instead opting to net fish and keep the clients' lines in the water.  On our very first trip I caught a 7lb and a 6.5lb speckled trout...on consecutive casts...the first two cast of the morning!!!"

~Tod Holman, Biloxi, Mississippi

"Captain Brandon Carter of Reel Shot Guide Service is the best equipped, most enthusiastic, and professional guide I have fished with.  My wife and I look forward to our trips for months.  Every time we fish with Captain Brandon he challenges himself to top our last trip, and trust me we have had some great ones. His personal drive to be the best boat on the water every day is contagious and he is committed to making every charter we have taken a trip of a lifetime.  From trophy trout hauls to drag screaming reds Captain Brandon puts you on the fish.  If you're debating on which guide service to use in Venice, Louisiana there is only one choice, Reel Shot and Captain Brandon period!"

~Josh and Tiffany Monk, Jackson, Mississippi

"I’m a Louisiana native, have been fishing for over 30 years and own a fishing camp in Venice, LA.  At least once per year, I hire Captain Brandon Carter, more than anything else, just for the fun of it. I always look forward to learning something new and for the pure enjoyment of being captained by a real professional who loves and respects south LA for all its treasures – especially speckled trout. Brandon works hard to put us on the fish, but I’m always more impressed with his knowledge and willingness to share it. This year our trip was more of what I’ve come to expect; limits of nice trout and great time with good friends!! Can’t wait till my next trip."
