Dracos Morvant, Guide at Victory Bay Charters
Growing up in the 1980s, Captain Drake was fortunate to have numerous fishing adventures from a camp on Lake Pontchartrain. Spending several days a week on the water, from sunrise to sunset, allowed him to independently learn the behavior patterns of a diverse array of fish species, as well as the effects of tides and wind. Over time, he came to appreciate the incredible fishing opportunities Louisiana offers and realized the joy in sharing these experiences with others.
In 2017, after a 15-year career in customer service, Captain Drake transitioned to guiding full-time, launching Victory Bay Charters. It wasn’t long before he built a strong base of repeat customers. His goal is to provide every client with the fishing trip of a lifetime. With numerous photos of satisfied customers showcasing big catches, Victory Bay Charters is known for its excellent service.
Victory Bay Charters offers a unique advantage by operating from a serene, private dock with stunning views of Lake Pontchartrain and the Salt Bayou marsh, eliminating the need to navigate busy marinas. The service caters to families, groups, and individuals alike, providing exceptional customer care whether clients are experienced anglers or beginners.
Captain Drake, who has extensive experience fishing the local marshes, now targets species such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sheepshead, Bass, and Flounder daily. His aim each day is to deliver an unforgettable fishing experience.
Clients of Victory Bay Charters enjoy the comfort of a brand-new 2023 25’ Blue Wave bay boat, designed for style and functionality. This modern vessel, equipped with the latest electronics, offers ample space and comfortable seating, making it ideal for fishing in shallow areas for Redfish or navigating open waters for Speckled Trout.
After a successful morning of fishing, Captain Drake cleans and bags the catch according to clients’ preferences, providing all necessary ice to keep the fish fresh for the journey home at no extra charge. Children aged 4 and older are welcome, with life vests available in various sizes. Bottled water is provided on board, while guests are encouraged to bring their own snacks and drinks. Live bait, when required, is available at an additional cost ranging from $10 to $25 per person, similar to other guide services in the area.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
November 21, 2024
Captain Drake guided me, my dad, and my two brothers on a memorable two-day fishing trip. The day before, he reached out to discuss weather conditions, warning us that the first day might be challenging due to wind. Fortunately, the conditions improved when we arrived, leading to an outstanding day where we caught over 40 fish. A highlight was all three of us hooking into 20+ lb black drum simultaneously—an incredible experience! On the second day, we faced higher winds than anticipated, but Captain Drake still managed to find us plenty of fish. We ended up bringing home over 50, with a variety of catches, including speckled trout, redfish, and black drum.I highly recommend Captain Drake for anyone looking for a fantastic fishing experience. He was not only knowledgeable and fun but also made the trip enjoyable and informative. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for future fishing adventures.

Our trip began at 5:30 AM in August 2023. Captain Drake was punctual and had the boat prepared for us. He provided clear instructions on what to expect during the intense summer heat. After a brief ride before sunrise, we arrived at a spot where we immediately started getting bites. We caught two bull reds, a 19 lb drum, and plenty of trout. Captain Drake's professionalism and expertise made the experience truly enjoyable. I highly recommend Victory Bay for your next fishing adventure—if there are fish out there, Captain Drake will definitely find them!

We had an excellent trip with Captain Dracos! He was very professional and put us on some fantastic fish to take home. Captain Dracos was also great at answering any questions we had about fishing or boating in the area. With a few of us lacking much fishing experience, he was exceptional at teaching us the basics and providing all the tips we needed to catch some big fish. We had a wonderful time—thanks, Captain Dracos!

Excellent service—I'd definitely use Captain Dracos again. He had us catching trout early on, and we quickly filled our bag. We spent the rest of the trip scouting for more action with mixed results. Throughout the day, Captain Dracos was personable, professional, and a pleasure to interact with.
