Hoping to cast a line in Barataria? Lafitte Fishing Charters is your ticket!

These waters are known for Redfish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Speckled Trout, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

If you’re traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your adventure begins aboard a 23’ BlackJack bay boat that holds up to 5 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. You can’t go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
