The fishing opportunities in Louisiana's Outback are almost too numerous to relate - and it is the activity that is the most accessible to the most people.

Your major choice is between freshwater or saltwater fishing. After that, you have to decide if you want to fish from a boat or the shore. Surf fishing is excellent along the beaches and there are plenty of waterways along the Creole Nature Trail perfect for dropping a line.

Anyone 16 years of age and older must have a valid Louisiana fishing license in their possession. Recreational hunting & fishing licenses may be purchased through the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries online or in-state at most sporting goods stores and Wal-Mart locations.

Professional fishing guide services are available in the area to make sure you go where the fish are biting. Take a look at the guide services below. Note: Many also provide waterfowl hunting options in season
