Louisiana is home to some of the best seafood in the entire country. Avid fishermen from as far as Alaska come to our shores to take advantage of our unique and pristine inland saltwater fish, namely the speckled trout and redfish.

Even laymen fishermen, including folks celebrating a wedding, birthday or more, come to our neck of the woods because, down here, you can't boat more than 2 feet without uncovering a school of fish waiting to be caught.
