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.
