Looking to explore some of Louisiana’s most famous inshore fishing spots? Jean Lafitte Harbor Charters has got you covered! Departing out of Grand Isle, you’ll be minutes away from some seriously productive waters – which means you’ll have a short and speedy journey when it comes to getting on fish.

On top of this, you’ll be guided by a Louisiana-native experienced angler, Captain Shaw Couevas. He grew up on the bayous, which means he’s gained a ton of local know-how you simply can’t miss out on! He’s joined by his friendly, knowledgeable crew, and together they work hard to make sure you’ll be taken on an unforgettable adventure.

This part of Louisiana is famous for its bayous, but the angling opportunities don’t end there: there are also plenty of marshes and winding waterways to explore. They’re the perfect habitat for prized fish such as Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, and Flounder.

Your adventure will take place on board a 24’ Gator Bay boat that’s built to accommodate up to 5 guests. She’s equipped with GPS and fishfinder, which means you’ll be on the fishing grounds in no time. There’s also top-quality safety gear, so get ready for a comfortable and secure journey.

Capt. Shaw and his crew will tailor your trip to suit your group’s wants and needs, and welcome anglers of all ages and skill levels to join them. Families, friends, and little ones can all join in on the fun.

This crew is also happy to assist you when it comes to trolling or jigging with light tackle to hook your catch, so don’t worry if you’ve never tried these techniques. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for an awesome trip will be provided, so prepare for a productive day!

Capt. Shaw and his crew pride themselves on going the extra mile for their guests, and they’re happy for you to stick around the marina and socialize with fellow fisherman after your trip. Grab a fishing license and hop aboard Jean Lafitte Harbor Charters – they’re waiting to welcome you aboard!
