Jean Lafitte Harbor CH. - Express
Join Jean Lafitte Harbor Charters for a go at some of the most popular inshore fishing locations in LA. Setting off from its own harbor in Lafitte, a stone’s throw from the area’s honey holes, this service gets you to the fish quicker than most. Captain Kody Slocum and his crew are local experts. Having grown up on the bayous, they’ve acquired more than a lifetime of knowledge and they can’t wait to share their expertise with you.
You’ll be fishing from a 24’ Express boat that’s equipped with a single 250 HP Yamaha show max engine that can have it speeding up to an impressive 60 mph. Thanks to that, along with the assistance of a GPS and fish-finder, you’ll be on the fishing grounds in no time at all. There’s plenty of room for up to 5 anglers, and a case of water is provided for all on board making it a great option for trips of all kinds – families, friends, all loved ones!
This part of Louisiana is awash with lakes, bayous, and numerous waterways, making it a fantastic place to fish a variety of inshore species. You’ll target Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, and more. The crew knows how to get you on the fish, and is happy to assist you in trolling or jigging with light tackle to reel ‘em in. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need to be successful are provided, so settle in for a productive day.
After you’re done, the crew will clean and fillet your catch so all you need to do is put it on the flames and wait for the taste to hit. Your trip doesn’t have to end when you get back. You can hang out and talk to other guest and guides as they arrive, and share your experience of a wonderful, memorable day. There’s no point in waiting around, come on over and get down to business, Louisiana-style.

Christopher RedfordRepeat angler5.0VerifiedDon’t wait, book the trip!
Full Day Trip (AM) on September 20, 2025 • 4 adultsWe had a fantastic time with Captain Kody. The four of us went with two newbie fishermen and we caught a ton of redfish, black drum, and even some alligator gar. Our ice chest is full of fish for grilling, Kody was very patient and great to us and we visited some great spots. They will treat you right!

Corey Stewart5.0VerifiedLate day trip with Capt. Gavin
Full Day Trip (AM) on June 19, 2022 • 1 adultEvery one at the boat launch including the store was very friendly and helpful. I booked an early morning trip but the other captain was busy. So I excepted an evening trip. It was hard locating fish but Capt.Gavin would not give up. We eventually found a spot where the fish were biting. I had a fantastic time. Thanks Capt.Gavin!

Full Day Trip (AM) on October 24, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Ron did all he could to put us on fish. we caught a plethora or reds, and drum even in the windy conditions.
Linda Fowler5.0VerifiedFull amazing day with cpt Jason
Full Day Trip (PM) on April 5, 2021 • 5 adultsWe really wanted to fish during our New Orleans trip, but we didn't rent a car. For a reasonable price they picked us up right from our hotel and brought us back. Communication was exceptional. They called and texted to make sure we knew the plan. Everyone was super friendly. Our captain Jason was amazing. We had different levels of fishing skills with us. He let us cast or bait our own hooks if we wanted. He did all the work for us who didn't want to do those things. He even would cast us into the sweet spots. He shared information about the fish, water, and the area. Most importantly he was very patient with us! We all had a great day!

Cameron Treuthardt5.0VerifiedFull day with Jason Toombs
Full Day Trip (AM) on June 13, 2021 • 5 adultsIf you book through Jean Lafitte harbor make sure you ask for Jason Toombs. If you know how to fish you will slaughter them with him as your captain and he is fun to hang out with on the boat.
Bryce KingRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAnother great day on the Bayou!
Full Day Trip (AM) on July 30, 2020 • 5 adultsWe started at 8 AM... caught a couple of Reds by 4 PM. Captain Jason refused to give up! Went in to pick up more bait and returned to port with another great catch. Can't say enough about our time on the water this week.
