Fishin’ in Louisiana’s Bayou Country
Where else can you experience world-class fishing and some of the most liberal fishing limits in the country? Louisiana’s Bayou Country is also one of the few places where you can find freshwater, saltwater and brackish (a mix of saltwater and freshwater, located where rivers and the Gulf meet) fishing, all within an easy drive or boat ride. From speckled trout to redfish and snapper, every day is a great fishing day. We have plenty of marinas with prime spots for launching that are well-stocked with fuel, ice, vending, propane exchange and so much more. Bring your boat or hire one of our local charter fishing services.
Charter Fishing
You can always explore Houma’s coastal waters on an offshore fishing expedition, where our trusted guides have the secrets to reeling in the catch of the day. Whether you’re fishing for yellowfin tuna, swordfish, speckled trout or grouper, you’ll have the time of your life with our hospitable captains and crew.

No Boat? No Problem
Not all of us own a fishing boat, but we still enjoy the sport of angling. The Boudreaux and Robinson Canals along LA. 56 are by far the most popular shoreline locations. Both can get crowded in the winter months. Boudreaux Canal is a hot spot for speckled trout in the winter and provides a migration route for the fish to and from the lake. Finding areas of moving water in these regions can prove fruitful.
Island Road in Pointe-aux-Chenes is also very popular with five free access fishing piers that are open to the public. Each pier has two eight-foot-wide sections that extend outward 56 feet as well as parking for 11 vehicles. Not only can you fish from Island Road but you can also catch crabs. Here are some additional top shoreline fishing spots:
- Bayou Dularge Road, no farther south than Falgout Canal
- Falgout Canal Road between Dularge
- Pontoon Bridge over the Houma Navigation Canal
- 57 between Cocodrie and Dulac
Where to Fish and What’s Bitin’
Pointe-aux-Chenes
Anglers looking for saltwater or brackish water would consider Pointe-aux-Chenes a fisherman’s dream. Located just south of Houma off Hwy 665 is one of the best fishing locations to reel in redfish all year. Grab a kayak from PAC Kayak Rentals and venture into the marshes for black drum, speckled trout and sheepshead.
Cocodrie
Cocodrie is a saltwater haven known for gamefish and speckled trout. Fishing for speckled trout year-round is not uncommon, but chances to reel in this delicious catch are more significant during warm summer months.
Bayou Black
Bayou Black offers picture-worthy views of its bold and beautiful marshes and is well known for freshwater fishing. Canals, lakes and bayous encompass much of Bayou Black, making it the ideal fishing location in the winter months.
Bayou Country Sports Park
The ideal fishing destination for kids, beginners and families, Bayou Country Sports Park has fishing ponds stocked with bluegill, channel catfish, bass and rainbow trout. With four public docks that include ADA pathways, the BCSP is one of the safest places to fish with your family.
Dularge
Fishing in Bayou Dularge can be summarized in two works – fish galore! Plentiful in redfish, speckled trout, flounder, white trout, sheepshead and black drum, this location will surely make the best memories for your next fishing adventure.
