    Great Fishing Trip!

    Louisana marsh fishing charter on September 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had a great fishing trip with Captain Paul! My parents flew down from Pennsylvania to do some Louisiana fishing and this fishing trip was excellent! Captain Paul was top notch! He showed us around Lafitte and took us to many different fishing spots where we caught plenty of fish! We landed many beautiful slot reds and a few nice black drum along with a few other species. I enjoyed talking with Captain Paul and learning about Lafitte and the fishing down there. It was nice to have a Captain who felt like we were all just a big family hanging out and fishing. I would definitely recommend booking with Captain Paul! My parents and I had a fantastic trip that made their visit here even better with the memories we made during this trip! Thank you, Captain Paul!!

    Bite started off slow, but we moved locations and found them stacked in the reeds. The change of scenery made all the difference, and we got into the fish pretty good!
  • Multiple redfish and other inshore fish stored together in a large black boat cooler or fish bin.

    The bite started off slow this morning, so we made a move and it paid off! Found the redfish stacked up in the reeds and put a nice box together. Sometimes a change of scenery is all it takes! ??

    Had a great day fishing the Louisiana marsh with Omar and his veteran crew. The redfish bite made us work for them, but we stayed after it and put some quality fish in the boat. Our Lafitte fishing charters put anglers in the heart of the Barataria Basin, just outside New Orleans. Always an honor having our veterans aboard and sharing a day on the water!

  • Angler proudly displaying a caught fish while fishing from a boat in a scenic waterway.
    Covered a lot of water today from Lafitte all the way to Bay Jimmy and the Grand Isle area. Fished marsh drains, points, bays, and channels with both live and artificial presentations. Water quality ranged from stained to fair, but we never found a consistent bite. Saw very little bait activity and no concentrations of feeding fish. Ended the day without a quality redfish, trout, or black drum. Hopefully the pattern improves once the winds settle and the fish reposition.
  • Two anglers posing on a boat at night, each holding a bow, likely preparing for bowfishing in a marshy area.
    The nighttime bowfishing bite has been heating up around the Lafitte marsh. We’ve been seeing good action on redfish, black drum, gar, and flounder in clean moving water. Warm temperatures and falling tides have fish active around shorelines and marsh drains. Family-friendly trips available along with action-packed nighttime charters for experienced shooters looking for larger fish. Summer weekend dates are beginning to fill fast. Book with Marsh Monster Charters for an authentic Louisiana marsh bowfishing experience.
