What types of black drum fishing charters are common in Louisiana?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for black drum in Louisiana as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Louisiana are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and live bait fishing but sight casting and bottom fishing are popular as well.

How much do Louisiana black drum fishing charters cost?

Prices for black drum in Louisiana can range anywhere from about $700 to $2,750, but the average price for a half day trip for black drum in Louisiana is $1,446. The average price for a full day trip for black drum in Louisiana is $1,580.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for black drum fishing in Louisiana?

The most popular season for black drum fishing in Louisiana is spring, and most anglers book their trips 24 days in advance.

    Trip: Tails In The Tides-Redfish & Trout

  • ★★★★★
    Ryan was very welcoming with us and accommodating to us. He kept us fishing in some windy waters and was patient with the mistakes made due to the wind. We caught some redfish and some drum to fillet out. Will definitely book another trip with Ryan.

    Trip: Lafitte Inshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Ron was an amazing guide. He was funny and joked with us the whole time and he made it seem like he was a friend taking us to fish rather than a random guy who has a boat. We had two boats for the trip and there is not one negative thing to say about either guide. I’d tell anyone to book with Ron if they were fishing in Louisiana 10/10 times.
