Shane Dufrene

Captain Shane Dufrene was born and raised in the Louisiana marsh, and he has been guiding anglers through the labyrinth of coastal marshes, bayous, and barrier islands for over 22 years. Louisiana's inshore fishery is one of the most productive in the country, and Shane knows every cut, point, and oyster reef in his home waters south of Houma.

Shane's approach is simple: put anglers on fish using the most effective techniques for the day's conditions. Whether that means poling the shallows for tailing redfish on calm mornings or anchoring up on a shell reef and loading the boat with speckled trout under popping corks, he adapts to what the marsh is giving. His 24-foot bay boat handles the open bays and the tight marsh channels equally well.
