Jean Lafitte Harbor Charters invite you to take part in some of the best inshore fishing grounds Louisiana has to offer. He and his crew will make sure you get a trip customized to your individual needs, and that you'll fondly remember for years to come.

You'll be fishing aboard a 35' Aluma Marine boat that's powered by twin 300 Yamaha engines, making it possible to achieve a top speed of 45 knots. She's a spacious and sturdy vessel, with enough room for up to 10 prospective anglers to go fishing.

The crew can accommodate a variety of different fishing trips, from your run-of-the-mill topwater fishing for Speckled Trout to going after Red, Flounder, Drum, and plenty of other fish species. If you're not really sure what you want to do, just sit back, relax, and let them take you to where the bite is best.

You'll find all the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle included in the price of a given trip. Anything you catch during the trip will be cleaned and filleted free of charge for your convenience. Bring some snacks, a pair of sunglasses, and come on down for a rod-bending adventure.

    Great time!

    7 Hour Trip on June 17, 2022 • 5 adults

    Gavin was a great captain for us! Originally we had 7 planned for the trip, but for various reasons only ended up with 4 - Gavin was super communicative and accommodating to these changes and most importantly, still got us on the fish. All of us were pretty new to fishing these types of water so Gavin attempted to give us a quick tutorial on what to do. That lasted all of about 5 seconds though as he hooked into a fish as soon as it hit the water. We all grabbed poles and got to work after that! Thanks Gavin for having us on your boat and enduring the heat, we all had a great time!

    Fishing with Captain Gavin

    7 Hour Trip on August 27, 2022 • 10 adults

    Excellent trip with Captain Gavin. He was an all around expert. From being a navigator of the waters, to understanding weather patterns, and putting us in a great posting to catch fish. Great customer service as well. He even cleaned, cut, and Filleted our catch for us. If you’re lucky, he might even share his old family Cajun recipe to cook them up with. All in all you could tell he genuinely wanted us to catch fish and have a great experience. Both of which, he was able to provide. I highly recommend this trip and Captain Gavin.

    Amazing Time 10/10

    5 Hour Trip on August 14, 2021 • 7 adults

    This trip was so great! Captain Gavin and his crew was great, very knowledgeable! We caught a ton of big fish and if a spot wasn’t bringing them in we moved and started catching them again! Could not have asked for a better time and they should be the first choice for anyone wanting to do a charter in Louisiana!
