Louisiana's inshore waters are teeming with prized gamefish, and we target some of the best. Here's a rundown of what you might hook into on your trip:
Redfish (Red Drum): The crown jewel of Louisiana inshore fishing, redfish are known for their powerful runs and delicious flavor. These copper-colored bruisers can be found year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up in big numbers. Look for their characteristic spot near the tail. Redfish in the 5-10 pound range are common, but trophy "bull reds" over 20 pounds are always a possibility.
Speckled Trout: A favorite among light tackle enthusiasts, speckled trout (or "specks" as the locals call them) are abundant in Louisiana waters. These silvery fish with distinctive spots put up a great fight on light gear and are excellent table fare. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Expect fish in the 1-3 pound range, with some gators (big trout) pushing 5 pounds or more.
Black Drum: Often overlooked but hard-fighting and great eating, black drum are a staple of inshore fishing here. These cousins of the redfish can be found around oyster reefs and channel edges. They're known for their distinctive "croaking" sound and powerful pulls. We typically catch them in the 5-15 pound range, but larger specimens over 30 pounds aren't uncommon.
Sheepshead: With their distinctive black and white stripes and sheep-like teeth, these fish are a unique catch. Sheepshead are structure-oriented, often found around pilings, rocks, and oyster reefs. They're notorious bait stealers, so hooking them can be tricky – but that's part of the fun! Best fishing is typically in the cooler months, and they make for some of the best eating around.
Southern Flounder: These flat ambush predators are prized for both their fight and their fillets. Flounder fishing picks up in the fall as they move towards the Gulf to spawn. We'll target them around drop-offs and structure using both live bait and artificial lures. Landing a big "doormat" flounder is always a highlight of any trip.
There's something special about Louisiana's inshore waters that keeps fishermen coming back year after year. Maybe it's the sheer abundance of fish, or the variety of species you can target in a single day. Perhaps it's the breathtaking coastal scenery, with its maze of bayous and marshes teeming with wildlife. Or it could be the rich local culture and world-famous cuisine that makes every fishing trip here feel like a true adventure.
But ask any angler who's fished these waters, and they'll tell you it's the memories made on the water that really stick with you. It's the thrill of watching a redfish tail in skinny water, the bend in your rod as a big trout hits a topwater lure, or the satisfaction of filleting your catch for a fresh fish dinner. With our experienced guides and top-notch equipment, we make sure you're in the best position to create those lasting memories.

Black Drum are the bruisers of our inshore waters. These powerful fish can weigh anywhere from 5 to 30 pounds, with some monsters hitting 90 pounds. You'll find them hanging around oyster beds, mudflats, and brackish estuaries. They love crunching on crabs and shellfish with those strong, pharyngeal teeth. Spring's your best bet for catching Black Drum, as they school up to spawn. Anglers dig 'em for the hard-fighting action - these guys pull like freight trains. For eating, stick to the smaller ones under 15 pounds for the best flavor and texture. To land a Black Drum, try using fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Here's a local trick: crush up some oyster shells in your chum to really get them fired up. Just be ready when that rod doubles over!

Redfish, or Red Drum, are the rockstars of our Louisiana inshore waters. These copper-colored beauties typically run 20-30 inches, but can grow over 40 inches and 50 pounds. Look for them in super shallow water - sometimes with their backs out of the water! They love hanging around oyster reefs, grass flats, and marsh edges. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Anglers can't get enough of their hard-fighting spirit and that distinctive tail with the black spot. They're also fantastic eating, with a light, sweet flavor. To catch reds, try sight-fishing with gold spoons or soft plastics in the shallows. Here's a local trick: on calm days, look for their tails sticking up as they root for crabs in the mud. Cast past them and slowly retrieve - when that line goes tight, hold on tight!

Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite target in our Louisiana waters. These silvery fish typically run 14-24 inches and 1-5 pounds, though some giants can hit 40 pounds. Look for them in grass flats and shallow waters, especially at night. They're most active in cooler months when they school up in deeper channels. Anglers love Sea Trout for their aggressive strikes and tasty, flaky meat. They'll hit a variety of lures, but live shrimp under a popping cork is hard to beat. Here's a local tip: on calm mornings, watch for them busting bait on the surface and cast topwater lures into the frenzy. When you hook one, keep your rod tip up - these guys have soft mouths and can shake loose easily. For the best eating, keep the smaller ones and release the big breeders.

Sheepshead are the toothy convicts of our coastal waters. These striped fish usually run 1-8 pounds, but can grow up to 20 pounds. Look for them around any structure with barnacles - docks, bridges, and reefs are prime spots. They're known for their human-like teeth, which they use to crush crabs and shellfish. Spring's the best time to target them as they gather to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of hooking these bait-stealers, plus they're excellent eating with sweet, white meat. To catch sheepshead, you need patience and a sensitive touch. Use small hooks with fiddler crabs or shrimp, and fish right up against the structure. Here's a tip: when you feel the lightest tap, wait a second, then set the hook hard. These guys are pros at nibbling bait off the hook, so you gotta be quick!

Southern Flounder are fascinating flatfish you'll find lurking on the bottom in our coastal waters. These masters of camouflage can change color to blend in with sand or mud, making them tricky to spot. They typically run 15-18 inches long, though the big ones can stretch to 33 inches. Look for them in shallow marine areas, bays, and estuaries with sandy or muddy bottoms. Fall is prime time as they move to spawn offshore. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of hooking these sneaky ambush predators. To catch 'em, try drifting or still fishing near the bottom with live bait like mullet or shrimp. My go-to rig is a single-hook setup with a slip lead - lets that bait dance enticingly right in their zone. When you feel that telltale nibble, give it a second before setting the hook hard.
