+13Louisiana Lagniappe Charters invites you down to the sprawling shallows of the Mississippi River Delta to explore the bayous and backwaters the area is known for. You also have the flexibility to fish different waterways around the New Orleans area depending on seasons and fishing reports.

Whatever you do, you’ll be in safe hands aboard Capt. Scott’s 24’ North Star center console. Built in 2016, the boat can carry six guests securely and in comfort. She has a trolling motor to let you navigate the skinny waters with ease and a livewell to keep your bait fighting .

Red Snapper on June 1, 2025
Family + perfect weather + awesome boat captain = One amazing day!! Captain Scott was wonderful. He worked tirelessly keeping our hooks baited, our snapped lines fixed, all while keeping up with our FISH ON calls!! We limited in less than 3 hours. We originally booked the on shore experience but he called us and said that the snapper would likely be our best bet. He was 100 percent on point! Captain Scott was amazing with our girls (ages 15, 12 and 10) and it was everything we hoped for and more. If you’re looking for a family trip, this is the one to book. We can’t wait to book again!

Red Snapper Limit
Red Snapper on June 1, 2025
We booked a last minute trip for our family the day before. Ended up getting the best trip we could possibly imagine. Captain Scott was amazing. He put us directly on the fish and we all got our limit within 2 hours. He was so patient with our girls, worked hard to keep us all going and make sure we had the absolute best time possible. Highly recommend Scott with Louisiana Lagnaippe Charters. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you for the memories!

Full Day Trip - Inshore on April 5, 2025
Weather was horrible and very windy. But our guide made sure that we had a great experience! Would strongly recommend to anyone to book a fishing trip with Louisiana Lagniappe. Our guide (Scott Pelas) showed us a great time. I’ll definitely go fishing with him again.

Full Day Trip - Inshore on May 25, 2025
Captain Scott was outstanding. I’ve never fished the Gulf. Captain Scott helped me learn how to fish the difference between the types of fish. I would fish with Captain Scott anytime I could without a doubt.
