Louisiana offers excellent saltwater fishing off its shores, and there is an abundance of charter fishing boats that are available all along the Louisiana coastline. Charter fishing boats are available for fantastic fishing in Louisiana's coastal communities of Barataria, Lafitte, Marrero, Shell Beach, and Venice. Charter fishing boats departing from the marinas of Louisiana, fish in the salt marshes, off the islands of the local bays, and in the Gulf of Mexico for everything from inshore species including redfish, speckled trout, and flounder, to offshore species such as king mackerel, snapper, cobia, and tuna.
