About Us


Fishing magician Charters is a dedicated family owned-and-operated business with insured and licensed captains. Based in Shell Beach, Louisiana, just 30 minutes away from New Orleans, it is run by the well known "fishing Magician", Capt. Johnny Nunez. For generations the Nunez family have lived and fished the bayous of St. Bernard Parish. Coasting through the sparkling water of Shell Beach, The Magician will take you on a wonderfully smooth ride in a 25' Privateer with a 350 Yamaha.

Few captains can boast of a record like Capt. Johnny and his sons. They will help you catch reds, speckled trout and other fish while fishing light tackle in the Biloxi Marsh or Louisiana coastline.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of fishing with Dan and Doug Robin, also Billy Pfleeger. The guys heard all about the big fish we had been catching. They called me up and I picked them up in front of Dan's camp.

We headed to Breton Sound while the wind was calm. It didn't take long to fill 150 qt. cooler by 8 o'clock with reds and sheepshead.

The guys had a great time and they were a great group to fish with. If you want to catch some fish and have some fun, Fishing Magician Charters is the one.

This evening I took some of the Entergy group that is down to fish for tomorrow. The guys wanted to get out for a little while to try their luck. We caught 10 reds and 1 black drum, not bad for a little while.

Tomorrow I have 2 boats fishing with this group. I'll post again tomorrow.

Today I had the pleasure of taking out a great group of guys who work for Entergy. They came down to stay at their camp and enjoy some time working and relaxing.

The guys were Rod West, John Kingston, Billy Lawler, Shelby Gross, Ronnie Durant, Elwin Draughon, Arron Harris, Wilfred Ferbos, and Richard Klibert. Capt. Wayne Melerine helped me with the trip.

Early this morning we picked everyone up and headed to Breton Sound where we have been catching reds and sheepshead. It was a successful day. By the end of the day we had 4 boxes of fish. The guys had a great time and we did too.

On the way out this morning there was a 1' chop and on the way in there was a 2' chop. The best part about fishing the sound is you don't have to worry about knats. On the way in I did notice quite a few dead redfish still in the sound. The Wildlife and Fisheries did check me 2 days ago and when they did I asked them what they thought about all the dead reds. They said that a few of the fish were picked up and brought in for testing to see what the cause was. So, hopefully we will find out the results soon.

If you want to catch fish and have some fun, Fishing Magician Charters is the one. Also, what Capt. Frank Moore said in his report is correct. This area has some of the best captains and boats around who are willing to make sure their customers catch fish and have fun doing it. They go out of their way to make sure everyone is pleased. We all also have excellent accommodations for big, as well as large groups. Give us a call, you won't be sorry.

Fishing Magician Charters Three day report.

Last Thursday I fished with Danny Kington and his friend Steve. We fished the Lake Borgne area where we caught 12 Trout. When the wind picked up Danny called it a day. Danny likes to fish the lake because he likes learning new spots that he can get to quickly from Shell Beach.

Friday evening James, Wayne, Roc, and Brad came in from Monroe, LA to stay at our lodge. They knew the weather wasn't going to be the best, but this was the only weekend they could all get together. Friday night the guys had jambalaya, potato soup with shrimp and crabs, seafood salad, and bread pudding for dessert. Saturday we fished the Biloxi Marsh. We left right before the weather hit. When it started raining and lightening I took them to a camp I know. It helps to know the places in the marsh that can be used to get out of the weather.

After the weather passed we fished some ponds. The guys caught red fish, puppy drum, and a few trout. So, the day wasn't lost after all. They went back to the lodge and had another big feast.

Today we fished the ponds and the Biloxi Marsh. We limited out on reds (3-6 lbs)and had 8 trout. The guys ended up having a good trip after all. All the guys had a great time and said they couldn't wait to come back.

I think once the wind stops blowing and the weather settles down we'll be starting to catch more trout. If you want to catch fish and have some fun, Fishing Magician Charters is the one. We have overnight accomadations and upon request we can serve some of the best Cajun food you have ever had.

Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Rene, AJ and David. I picked everyone up at the lodge, then we stopped at Campo's for our bait. Then, we headed out to the Breton Sound.

It took us quite a few stops to catch 65 trout(1 1/2 - 3 lbs), and we limited out on Bull Reds. We did leave some reds go to fight another day. We got onto a couple of good trout bites, but the sharks were so bad that we couldn't get a whole fish up. So, we had to keep moving.
