Fishing guides
Our team is made of four fully licensed and qualified fishing guides in Guadeloupe and members of the Syndicat des Moniteurs-Guides de Pêche Français (SMGPF), an union of professional fishing guides in France.
JULIEN FISHING GUIDES IN GUADELOUPE
” Passing on to the next generations what my father taught me… “
For me, fishing means sharing true moments in the environment that surrounds us and living them to the full. Since I was a kid, enjoying nature on a fishing spot has always been as fulfilling as hooking a big fish. That’s how my passion for nature has grown into a passion for fishing too. I’ve been living in Guadeloupe for more than 17 years now and I have spent a lot of time on the water and waterfront here to indulge my passion for fishing.
In 2012, I created the Guadeloupe Pêche Passion association with a friend of mine. Our ambition was to make lure fishing popular here. So, every year there’s about ten championships all around the island. Every fisherman is welcome to join us and share these moments in a friendly atmosphere.
BPJEPS Professional Fishing Guide
In 2014, when I was 31, I completed my diploma ‘BP JEPS Pêche de Loisir’. And so, I became a fully licensed fishing guide. For the last five years, I’ve been sharing what I learnt as a guide. Today, I’m proud to say I can make a living from my passion.
In the mangroves, snooks, baby tarpons and dentex are the species targetted on my flat-bottomed boat (Mitzi Skiff). A discreet approach is required. We try to venture into the remotest places to track them down. We opt for sight-fishing on light tackle to feel the thrill and pleasure of fighting them. For a fisherman, does anything compare to spotting a predator, animating the lure properly and seeing the fish grab it savagely? I always keep this vision of fishing somewhere in the corner of my mind when I arrange and guide fishing trips abroad.

And here is the press review about me :
VINCENT
Since 2018, Vincent has been guiding my second boat, the Open 7.20 (Saintoise model). He fishes other spots using other techniques. Vincent and I complement each other so that our team is now very adapatable.
I guide fishermen on my Mitzi Skiff (flat-bottomed boat) and fish the river edge or the flats with flies or lures.
Vincent guides fishermen in the lagoon and the mangroves and uses a depth sounder for bottom fishing there. He also ventures in the shoals offshore using the same technique for casting. The fishing sessions with Vincent may require some skills but it’s fun and fishing like that is very effective. Vincent and I graduated in the same training center and so we understand each other perfectly well. My teammate has good teaching skills and he is fond of instructing every fisherman onboard . He can teach first-timers and beginners basics aswell as more experienced fishermen who wish to improve their skills. He is very flexible and keen to
make each and every fisherman happy.
MICKAEL
Micka is from the Arcachon area in France and graduated as a fishing guide instructor in 2018. He joined the team in 2021. He has a fairly instinctive vision of fishing and manages to adjust his strategies according to the conditions of the moment. Mickael also knows how to adapt to the desires of fishermen and all levels of fishing.
He is a versatile fisherman, comfortable in many situations. Within the team, he regularly guides on our two flat-bottomed boats: Mitzi and Wellcraft, especially flyfishing on flats in search of the bonefish. He also manage group outings on other boats.
JEAN-BAPTISTE
JB is from the “Hautes-Pyrénées” in France and fishes since he was a child. He started his career by joining a fishing school at an early age and then continued the adventure in the world of competition for several years. In which he obtains several trophies in trout fishing competitions. Having spent his training in 2009 in Lozère, he is the most experienced guide of the team.
He joined the group in 2022 and quickly adapted to this new exotic environment. JB is a determined guide, who does not give up. These qualities allowed him to adapt himself to all these new fish. Expert in lures fishing in pairs or groups of people in the lagoon, he also likes to go fishing around the coral reef when conditions allow.
This tight partnership allows us to arrange and customize multi-species fishing trips for you, fishing many promising spots and using many different techniques. So, you’ll be spoilt for choice !
