Redfish, also called Red Drum, are the star of inshore saltwater fishing in Louisiana, United States. They crush baits, run hard, and show up year-round in marshes, bays, and flats. Many anglers come for sight casting to tailing fish and stay for the steady action.
Most trips focus on inshore fishing with light tackle. Spinning gear with soft plastics, spoons, or live shrimp under a popping cork, a float that clicks to call fish, works well. Fly fishing is popular on clear, calm days using shrimp and crab patterns. In winter, clean water makes sight casting easier. In summer, early starts beat the heat and find active schools.
Charter days are usually 4–8 hours on a shallow-draft bay boat. Runs are short and the waters are often protected, which suits families and first-time anglers. Captains provide rods, reels, tackle, and local know-how. Bring sun protection, snacks, drinks, and polarized sunglasses to spot fish. Dress for changing weather, and plan to keep or release fish as regulations allow.
Louisiana’s best Redfish action spreads across the coast. Top areas include the Mississippi River Delta near Venice, Breton and Chandeleur sounds, the Biloxi Marsh, and Barataria Bay. The marshes around Hopedale, Delacroix, and Lafitte are famous. Western waters such as Calcasieu Lake near Lake Charles and Sabine Lake also produce consistent bites.
Before you go, check current Louisiana fishing license requirements and any needed saltwater permits. Review size, bag, and season rules, which can change. Some areas have special restrictions or private waters. Your captain will help you fish legally and responsibly.

Amazing morning on the water
Captain Mitch is very knowledgeable, and definitely a down to earth kind of guy. He also ofcourse, knows how to find the fish. We had a blast, not only with the fishing but the whole experience was great. We caught some very nice redfish and a few black drum. Tight lines, good vibes, we would definitely go with him again. Thank you Mitch for the great trip.

Best Fishing Trip!
My husband and I had an amazing fishing trip with Mitchel! We caught our limit of redfish and one drum. Mitchel provided all of the fishing equipment, including bait, which made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. We truly had such a great time and would highly recommend Mitchel to anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing excursion! We can’t wait to come back to Louisiana and book another trip! 🎣🐟 Thank you, Mitchel, for such a great experience!

Weather Switchup
We had to cancel our orginal time due to weather and Captain Mitchel called right away to reschedule. When we got out on the water, he put us on fish and we limited out on redfish in no time!

Great trip with Captain Mackie!
We had a great trip with Wicked Fishing on the Aquarium Catch. We caught a ton of white and speckled trout that were great to eat that evening. We also caught of variety of other fish, including a huge redfish and two sharks. Captain Mackie did a great job keeping us busy with catches and moving around to the right spots. I'd definitely recommend Wicked Fishing and we hope to find the time to schedule another trip!
