Hooked on Lafourche

In a state long referred to as the “Sportsman’s Paradise,” fishing is serious business. But in Lafourche Parish—aka “Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou”—where opportunities for both fresh and saltwater catches abound, the fishing is nothing short of legendary. With more than a dozen fishing charter operations available, crafting the angling adventure of your dreams is a breeze.

Guided Fishing Charters

Cruise the shallow, inland waters of Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou with seasoned guides provided by Reel Reds Marsh Adventures, Marshland Guide Service, or Rippin Lip Guide Service. Let the experts steer you to tried and true “honey holes,” where speckled trout, redfish, and flounder abound. Prefer offshore? Book a trip with Cajun Made Charters or Southern Pride Charters for an excursion into the Gulf of Mexico. There, amidst blue waters and oil platforms await prime fishing grounds teeming with a rich bounty of table species—from amberjack and cobia, grouper, and snapper; to legendary Gulf game fish such as tuna, marlin, and wahoo. 

Bowfishing and Bayouside Accommodations

When the sun goes down, trade rod and reel for bow and arrow and head out into the nighttime marsh with Midnight Blue Bowfishing Charters, Big Dog Bowfishing, or Marsh Masters Bowfishing. Whether it’s redfish or flounder, alligator gar or sheepshead you’re after, each outing delivers stories you’ll tell for a lifetime. With several charters offering lodging options, it’s easy to extend your stay to encompass multiple trips and target species. The Cajun Resort makes an ideal jumping-off-point for family-friendly getaways or all–inclusive corporate events, featuring fishing, lodging, catered meals, and good times. For houseboat accommodation, look no further than Down the Bayou Fishing Charters or inquire about lodging at Plaisance Tidewater Charters.

Regardless of your experience level, Lafourche Parish makes the ideal gateway for fulfilling all your fishing fantasies. Don’t delay— visit LA Cajun Bayou’s Charter Fishing page to get started.
