Fishing in the Pelican State

Louisiana, also known as the Bayou State, the Pelican State, or the Sportsman's Paradise, is a top sportfishing destination on the Gulf Coast. Hackberry, located in the southwestern part of the state on the west shore of Calcasieu Lake, offers a diverse range of productive fisheries for anglers of all levels. The area is known as the "Speckled Trout Capital of the World," and fishing charters can take you to explore Calcasieu Lake, Black Lake, the Gulf of Mexico, and other productive fisheries in the area. The Holy Trinity of Redfish, Trout, and Flounder are the primary targets, but other species such as Sheepshead, Tripletail, and Cobia can also be found. Hackberry fishing guides use both artificial and live bait, with shrimps being a popular choice. Regulations require a Basic Fishing License for all fishermen age 16 and older who want to keep their catch, as well as a LA Saltwater License for saltwater species. Full-day trips cost $600-$750 for a party of four, while half-day trips cost $500-$550. Hackberry is easily accessible by car via I-10 or Louisiana State Highway 27, or by flying into Lake Charles Regional Airport or Jack Brooks Regional Airport.

Fishing Louisiana’s Coasts

**Louisiana Inshore Fishing**

Louisiana is the “Inshore Fishing Capital of the World” thanks to the sheer amount of coastline and having more marshes than any other coastal state. The intricate Louisiana Coastline was created by the Mississippi River, which built up a delta (where sediment is deposited when the river meets the Gulf) for thousands of years, then changed directions to create a new delta. This created bayous and estuaries with varying tidal depths and salinity perfect for a multitude of inshore fish.

**Louisiana Nearshore Fishing**

Louisana nearshore waters are full of wrecks, oil rigs, and other structures that make excellent fishing spots. This allows access to a mixed bag of fish species including redfish, black drum, and red snapper in state waters. Within a few miles of shore, there’s plenty of fishing to be done, and it’s sure to be a truly unique experience.

**Louisiana Offshore Fishing**

With direct access to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana has some of the best offshore fishing in the world. Louisiana shores provide a muddy bottom that gently slopes to a drop-off, in the Gulf providing an ideal environment for offshore fish species. Around 80 miles off the coast, the water drops to 2,500 feet making it the perfect place to hook into a giant.

Top Saltwater Catches in Louisiana

**Inshore Target Species in Louisiana**

**Speckled Trout**

Speckled trout are the most targeted saltwater fish in Louisiana by recreational fishermen, both for being great fighters and for excellent table fare. The sandy bottoms, oyster reefs, and seagrass beds that Louisiana has are a perfect environment for them to thrive and a great place to fish.

**Redfish**



The warm and fertile waters of Louisiana make it excellent for redfish who hide in the wetlands and cruise the canals. Louisiana is special with excellent opportunities to catch redfish throughout the year making it the perfect spot to take a trip.

**Flounder**

Flounder are considered some of the most challenging and tasty inshore fish, making them a highly rewarding catch. On their annual migration flounder travel out of the Mississippi River to the deep sea where anglers have the best perfect shot at catching one.

**And more!**

There are plenty of other species to be caught in the inshore waters of Louisiana including black drum, sheepshead, and more. The fertile waters and estuaries created by the Mississippi meeting the Gulf, along with then endless coastline and marsh areas, there’s plenty of places to explore looking for fish.

**Nearshore Target Species in Louisiana**

**Cobia**

Known as ling or lemonfish in Louisiana, cobia are found right off the coasts where they congregate in the Gulf of Mexico and come especially close to shore to spawn. They are typically found around oil rigs and other structures, feeding on smaller fish and squid. Cobia are a very curious fish and will sometimes swim right up to the side of the boat.

**Red Snapper**

Louisiana state fishery managers have worked hard to help rebuild a now strong, but once depleted red snapper population. They can be found circling both manmade and natural structures off the coasts of Louisiana, especially during their spawning season from May to September.

**Tripletail**

In Louisiana, tripletail are often called blackfish and can be found floating on their sides near cover. This is particularly common around the oil rigs out in Western Louisiana. Venice is one of the most productive locations in the world due to the incredible amount of structure in nearby waters. The waters surrounding Louisiana are a prime spot to head to catch your first or next tripletail.

**And more!**

The nearshore waters of Louisiana are known for the plethora of fish species that live here giving anglers the chance to catch a mixed bag on any trip. With bigger species hiding out amongst the structures and mud bottoms, jack crevalle, blacktip shark, and more can be caught here.

**Offshore Target Species in Louisiana**

**Yellowfin Tuna**

Yellowfin are a world-renowned sportfish, prized for their speed, strength, and stamina. With easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana provides great yellowfin fishing spots that are easy to reach and navigate. Although they are a migratory species, yellowfin tuna are known to never leave the Gulf itself, which is partly what makes Louisiana such a promising spot to target them.

**Mahi Mahi**

Mahi-mahi are highly regarded sportfish for their beautiful color and strength on the hook. The “bull run” is when giant bull and cow mahi cruise the Gulf of Mexico during the spring and summer months in large schools and has become a favorite season of anglers in Louisiana.

**Wahoo**

Known for their fierce and tenacious personalities, wahoo are a fan favorite for an exciting fight in the salt. Louisiana is a top spot to land wahoo thanks again to all the structures throughout the Gulf that wahoo love to roam searching for prey. Wahoo in the area are so plentiful that Louisiana is regarded as the top place to fish for them in the United States and the world often outranking exotic locations like Cuba and Baja Mexico.

**And more!**

With access to some of the most productive feeding grounds in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana has some of the best offshore fishing spots in the world. Many more species such as amberjack, marlin, blackfin tuna, and sharks are also abundant in these waters.

Top Freshwater Catches in Louisiana

**Largemouth Bass**

Largemouth Bass are an iconic freshwater fish with a cult following, and Louisiana is full of monsters known as the southern largemouth. Almost every single freshwater lake, pond, and river in the state has excellent bass fishing, with several spots polling in the top 100 of Bassmasters places to fish in the US with some even cracking the top ten.

**Catfish**

Flathead, blue, and channel catfish are considered the kings of Louisiana and are considered a delicacy on the plate. They can be caught in rivers, streams, lakes, and backwaters nearly year-round and can weigh well over 100 pounds. Des Allemands, LA is the “Catfish Capital of the Universe” and even hosts a festival every year.

**Freshwater Drum**

Freshwater drum, or gou, are underrated fish that put up a terrific fight and make excellent table fare. Gou is short for gaspergou and has been a staple fish of Louisiana since written about by French adventurer, historian, and naturalist Antoine-Simon Le Page du Pratz in 1758.

**And more!**

The Mississippi River and its tributaries provide rich waters across the state of Louisiana, and some of the best freshwater fishing in the world. Species like bluegill, sunfish, crappie, and many more can be found throughout the state.

Best Places to Fish Louisiana's Saltwaters

**Grand Isle**

With over 280 fish species and year-round fishing, Grand Isle is a sportfishing paradise. Being only eight miles wide, Grand Isle makes up for lack of land with hundreds of productive waterways teeming with excellent fishing. Being in a location right where marshland meets the Gulf gives access to everything from inshore fishing for bull reds, to offshore fishing for Mahi Mahi and everything in between.

**Venice**

Venice is right where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico, which makes it one of the most fertile and productive fishing regions in the world. It’s known as both “Tuna Town” and the “Redfish Capital of the World,” Venice is full of excellent fishing from coastal brackish estuaries to deep offshore water and around every oil rig and structure in between.

**Saint Bernard**

Saint Bernard is known for its diverse fisheries and is a premier fishing destination in Louisiana. Saint Bernard itself is surrounded by marshes, wetlands, and bayous which attract a variety of fish species. There’s incredible year-round fishing in the swamps and bayous for redfish and speckled trout or you can drive over to New Orleans and have both.

**And more!**

Louisiana itself has so much access to water, that it is almost impossible to find a bad spot to fish. The diversity of species and environments creates one of the best fisheries in the world and a great spot to take a fishing trip.

Best Places to Fish Louisiana’s Freshwaters

**Calcasieu Lake**

Located only a few hours from the major hub of Houston, Calcasieu Lake is a popular spot for anglers to target sought-after species. Freshwater from the Calcasieu River mixes with saltwater from Calcasieu Pass to create the perfect brackish water home to a variety of species including redfish, sheepshead, catfish, largemouth bass, tripletail, and even cobia. The gem of Calcasieu Lake is speckled trout, where they are known to weigh well over seven pounds.

**Delacroix**

Delacroix is known as the “Bass Mecca” of the United States and is only a 30-minute drive from New Orleans. Full of canals and lakes, the bass fishing here is great throughout the year. Anglers can spend years cruising the channels and casting the banks and never fish the same spot twice. Delacroix isn’t just great for bass though. It is home to marshes that hide redfish, catfish, and more.

**Toledo Bend Reservoir**

Along the Shelby River, Toledo Bend Reservoir joins Texas and Louisiana together with excellent freshwater fishing for catfish, crappie, and sunfish. The real prize in this reservoir is bass, especially largemouth. With plenty of vegetation and standing timber, largemouth bass are available year-round. With over 100 regional and national tournaments a year, Toledo Bend Reservoir is a top choice for freshwater anglers.

**And more!**

The amount of water available to anglers in Louisiana is amazing. There are hundreds of lakes, rivers, canals, channels, streams, and more throughout the state with thousands of honey holes full of bass, catfish, crappie, and more. No matter where you go in Louisiana, the fishing will be top-notch.

    Captain Daryl was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and laid-back. He made our fishing trip beginner-friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we caught the fish we were after. We reeled in every species you’d want during our inshore adventure! His teaching skills were top-notch, and he never once made me feel inadequate due to my lack of fishing experience. Plus, he had a great sense of humor that kept us laughing throughout the trip. Best fishing trip I’ve been on! I can't wait to go fishing with him again!

    Good guide, knows where the fish are, would have like to see tactical changes made for different species or when the bit slowed down. I’d like to see a variety in the arsenal you know. That’s just me being my hardcore fishing self. My wife loved it because we didn’t have to clean or fuel our boat. I agree it’s nice just being a paying customer. The hard thing for me and being very expirienced is you expect everyone to be like you. Tommy did us right and I appreciate his hard work. I’d use Tommy again and would recommend Tommy to others

    Went out with Captain Davide on June 5,2023. His in depth knowledge of the waters ( fishing he area since he was 9y.o.) really made the difference. We were on fish almost all day. He knew how to target each species and the best place to get them. He organized the day to target species that would keep us reeling fish in. Combination of American reds (15), Tuna(6), and variety of other species . Not to mention the wahoo that broke me off ( Damn near the biggest I ever saw). Ended with a day of heat exhaustion for me, 2 hours of fish cleaning for David, and buying 3 extra coolers for the haul home. Be careful...... There is alot of mean mugging at the cleaning station. Most everyone else got skunked that day. Thanks Capt. David Dr, James Hill Ft. Lauderdale Fl.

    Captain Jacob gets 5 BIG stars from my son Tyler and I. We had a fantastic trip with him yesterday. I cannot imagine there is a better fishing guide in the area . He had us on huge donkey red snappers in no time and he took us to many other locations for other species, since we had limited out on red snapper in the first 2 hours of fishing. His boat was immaculate. As a marine surveyor I look at these things as the safety of my son and myself is very important. Captain Jacob has a great sense of humor and makes sure his guests have a great time. Definitely choose him for your trio.

    Captain David was very good and interesting to talk with. Our first day out his deck hand had misunderstood our fishing days and was unable to go so David had to do the trip himself. He did his very best but unfortunately we didn't catch anything and helped him as much as possible. The second day he had two deckhands and it went so much more smoothly and they were very informative and very knowledgeable. They tried their best to put us on fish but it didn't work to our favor. We caught one swordfish. It was a very expressive trip for one fish but I understand that happens. I would definitely use captain David again and hope to try it again next year
