Louisiana Fishing Trips

Not Even Alligators Will Keep You Away by Eliseo

 

  Does an alligator encounter give you pause for concern? It shouldn’t. The folks offering Louisiana fishing trips are locals who know the bayous and marshes intimately. They know how to deal with hungry alligators. And they know where to find the fish.

 

Board a 30-foot Boston Whaler or a one-man kayak. Either way, you are in for one heck of an adventure on your Louisiana fishing trip.

The inshore and offshore waters of this southern state are thick with fish: Yellowfin tuna, Blue marlin, Mahi Mahi, Speckled trout, bass, flounder, sheepshead, redfish, mackerel and Red snapper.

In fact, it’s rumored that Speckled trout fishing in Louisiana is the best in the world, but then that just might be a fish tale. So, it’s best to find out for yourself. But get a guide first.

Plenty of friendly knowledgeable Cajun fishing guides are ready to lead fishermen to the right fishing hole. Louisiana fishing trips cater to both the novice and experienced angler. It’s just a matter of choosing the charter company suited to your tastes.

Does a company named after an infamous bloody-thirsty pirate make your fisherman’s blood run hot? If so, Captain Plaisance, with the Jean Lafitte Charters, out of Lafitte, Louisiana is your man. His company also offers accommodations and they’ll even clean and bag your fish for free. Now how about that for Southern hospitality?

And speaking of hospitality, one company offering Louisiana fishing trips, Eccentric Charters, makes a major concession for the ladies. They’ve installed a freshwater shower onboard for clean-ups after a long day of hunting down giant Yellowfin tuna, mackerel or red snapper.

Perhaps your company morale needs a boost. Or you need to show a client a good time. There are Louisiana fishing trips designed for corporate retreats, too.

The Super Strike Charter out of Venice, Louisiana offers an unforgettable saltwater fishing experience sure to wow a client or boost staff morale. They’ll even take your group wreck fishing if you think that’s what it’ll take to bring back the smiles.

Fly fishing enthusiasts shouldn’t despair. Louisiana fishing trips offer excursions for both saltwater and freshwater fish.

Wade into saltwater marshes with the Marsh Rat Guide Service in search of Cajun bonefish, speckled trout, or redfish. Or stay at the Victoria Inn and Gardens, located on the Barataria Estuary, and fish from the dock. These folks clean and gut your day’s catch, too, but you have to provide your own ice chest.

Be sure to find out what your charter company will be providing. You may need to pack your own lunch and drinks. And expect to pay extra for live bait and, of course, any necessary fishing licenses.

Eliseo is an avid fishing guy.
