Types of Louisiana Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

Louisiana fishing guides generally operate out of bass, multi-species, and river boats, taking 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These Louisiana inland fishing guides fish the mighty Mississippi River along with many lakes, rivers, bayous, swamps, and canals.  Louisiana offers a lot of fresh water fishing opportunities to fish bass, catfish, panfish, and even gigantic alligator gar.

Fly Fishing

Louisiana fly fishing guides fish bass and trout on the states lakes and rivers but salt water fly fishing targets countless species all along the gulf coast.  Louisiana fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Louisiana in-shore fishing charters operate out of smaller boats fishing close to the coastline and backwaters.  Redfish, speckled trout, and snook are common targets for these Louisiana captains but they catch many different species on a seasonal basis and usually concentrate on calm beautiful waters.

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

The Gulf of Mexico provides Louisiana offshore fishing charters an opportunity to catch nearly any species and use nearly any technique to catch them.  Troll for sailfish or marlin, drift fish for tuna, bottom fish a drop off, or target the many species surrounding the off-shore oil rigs and other structure.   Louisiana deep sea charters offer a trip to satisfy any angler.
