    We 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!

What's biting with Jean Lafitte Harbor Charters – 30' in Lafitte

Fall doesn't lack variety when it comes to species you can catch. From Bass to Trout to Drum, you'll be spoilt for choice. And with the humidity levels slowly decreasing, this might be the ideal time of the year for you to spend it outdoors fishing with your family.
