Louisiana Fishing
Get ready to discover why New Orleans is one of the Gulf Coast’s most celebrated fishing destinations. Our charters explore tidal marshes, bayous, and estuaries that span the greater New Orleans / Lafitte region. Whether you’re chasing redfish, speckled trout, or black drum, our local guide knows when and where to keep you catching fish all day. With all gear included—rods, bait, tackle—and fish cleaning handled on board, your only job is to cast, reel, and enjoy. No hidden fees or surprises.
Jason Shilling
Captain Jason is a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain and lifelong Louisiana angler with decades of experience in New Orleans’ backwater systems. He’s fished these waters since childhood and knows every hotspot, current shift, and tidal trick that gets fish biting. He’s committed to making every trip a fun, educational experience—whether you’re a veteran angler or someone casting for the first time. You can expect patient instruction, local stories, and a passion for putting you on the catch of your life.

What Customers Say
Got Questions?
Where do your fishing trips leave from?
All trips depart from Lafitte, Louisiana, about 35–40 minutes south of New Orleans. Once you book, you’ll receive a confirmation email with the exact address, directions, and what to expect when you arrive.
What time do we start?
Trips typically leave at safe daylight — usually between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m., depending on the season. Jason will confirm your start time the day before based on weather and tides.
What should I bring on my charter?
Bring a Louisiana fishing license, snacks and drinks, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, and anything else you’d like for comfort. We provide all rods, reels, bait, tackle, and ice for your catch.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. Louisiana requires a Charter Passenger License for non-residents, available online at www.wlf.louisiana.gov (about $20). You can purchase it in just a few minutes before your trip.
How long are the trips?
Our standard charters run about 5 hours, but time may vary slightly based on travel distance and fishing conditions. Full-day custom trips are available upon request.
Do you clean and bag the fish?
Yes! Jason will clean, bag, and ice your fish so it’s ready to take home or cook fresh that night. You don’t have to lift a finger.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your captain constantly monitors the forecast. If conditions are unsafe, he’ll contact you in advance to reschedule or refund your trip — whichever you prefer.
Can kids or beginners come?
Absolutely. Our trips are family-friendly and beginner-friendly, with patient guidance and all the help you need to catch your first fish. Kids of all ages are welcome.
