My name is Captain Rick J Thompson, and I’m a United States Marine Corps Veteran who’s proud to call New Orleans, Louisiana home.  Growing up I spent countless hours learning, fishing and hunting the bayous of Venice, LA. While I’ve logged a lion’s share of fish, my most fond memories are the smell of salt in the air, having alligators destroy popping corks and swimming with porpoises in the distance. I often still hear my Dad saying, “Get‘em out of the water!” when I’d tell him that it felt like a big one on the line. I named this company “ClearVision Charters,” because my foremost desire is to allow patrons to see the bayou through the eyes that caused that child (a 10 year old me) to fall in love with Louisiana’s waterways. I am 100% committed to providing the best possible experience for my guests every time we crank up.

As a former Marine, disabled veteran and Special Olympics unified golf partner, I take great pride in offering services to those with physical and intellectual disabilities. The Storm Cell was chosen with all of the bayou’s joys in mind, and for that reason we offer 5 separate charter packages.

Over time I’ve added the waters of Myrtle Grove to my knowledge base. Doing so allows us to land quality fish year round, and to find appropriate water conditions for each group’s desired charter package. Myrtle Grove Marina is conveniently located approximately 30 minutes from downtown New Orleans.
