Meet Captain Hayden Theriot: Inshore Fishing Guide at MGFC

When it comes to inshore saltwater fishing in Venice, Louisiana, Captain Hayden Theriot is the man to know. Born and raised in Luling, Louisiana, Hayden's passion for fishing was ignited at a young age. He spent countless hours on the water with his father and grandfather, learning the ins and outs of Louisiana's unique coastal ecosystem and honing his skills as an angler.

From a young age, Hayden knew he wanted to be a professional fishing guide. He was drawn to the storied profession and the opportunity to make a living sharing his love of the sport with others. Throughout his life, Hayden has fished the bays, saltwater marshes, and nearshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico, developing a keen awareness of the ecosystem and a deep respect for the waters he calls home.

"What I like best about fishing out of Venice is the diversity of the species you can go for, and the different types of fishing days you can have," Hayden says.

"The way the Mississippi River dumps soil and nutrients into these salt waters makes for a unique, and unparalleled fishing environment. We can fish in almost any conditions, because we can always dash here or there, escape the most harsh winds, and hide in the many nooks and crannies of this massive bird foot delta down here."

Hayden runs his charters out of a 24-foot Blue Wave bay boat, powered by Yamaha.

He takes pride in providing his clients with a safe and comfortable fishing platform, and he's committed to putting in the effort necessary to ensure a successful day on the water. "You are in good hands with me," Hayden says.

"I was taught right, and I was taught to respect these waters. I'll pass that along to you, your friends, and family if you book charter fishing trips with me, and I can promise: You will see that I take pride in putting in a full effort."

Hayden chose to join the Mexican Gulf Fishing Company because of the outfit's reputation for excellence. "The name MGFC says it all," Hayden explains. "Captains Billy and Kevin built this company up, by working their way up on these same waters where I was raised. MGFC is recognized across the country, and around the world as being a well-run, professional outfitter, that knows how to treat customers, and that shows because customers have so much fun, they return to fish with Mexican Gulf — year-after-year."
