St. Bernard, LA 70085 USA Phone1: 985-630-2923 Phone2: 504-427-3248 Email: george15fish@aol.com  With more than four decades fishing experience, including nine years on the BASSMASTERS tournament trail, Capt. George Ricks is known throughout the southeastern United States as one of the country’s best anglers. He has mastered the saltwater marshes from Lake Pontchartrain to Venice, and has fished against legends such as Roland Martin, Kevin Van Damm and Jimmy Houston.He has been featured in a long list of outdoors publications, and has appeared on numerous outdoors radio and television shows, including Hank Parker’s Outdoors Magazine.  Although retired from competitive angling, Ricks still hits the water with a passion, offering his guiding services and vast knowledge about the southeast Louisiana marshes to clients booking trips with Get-Away Fishing Charters. He founded the business nearly five years ago on a simple idea – to give his guests the fishing excursion they will remember forever. And since 1999, more than 3,700 clients have learned from one of the top pros in the business, in one of the most prolific estuaries in the world – the Delacroix-Hopedale area. His "workplace" includes a vast network of marshes, bayous, canals and bays, and the structure-laden waters of Breton Sound. Ricks and many other veteran anglers know these waters to be among the best in the world. "It’s absolutely one of the most amazing areas I’ve ever seen," said Ricks, chief owner and operator of Get-Away Fishing Charters. "It’s an abundant fishery for speckled trout, redfish, flounder and black drum."While the majority of guests with Get-Away Fishing Charters target these salt and brackish waters for speckled trout and redfish, Ricks also offers bass trips for freshwater enthusiasts in the legendary Caernarvon area.
