The Freshest Catch
ENJOY THE BOUNTY FROM LOUISIANA’S LAKES, RIVERS, STREAMS AND GULF
With the state’s bountiful waters producing more than 850 million pounds of fresh seafood each year, there’s no better place to catch fresh flavors. And the best part is, there’s always something in season.
Spring brings peak crawfish season, with classic seafood boils and celebratory festivals along with it, while oysters shine in the cooler months of late fall and winter. Depending on the type, succulent shrimp are abundant May through December, and sweet blue crabs are a treat from late spring through early fall.
A true Louisiana delicacy, alligator adds a wild twist to menus year-round. Anglers also catch finfish like catfish, redfish and black drum almost year-round. Whatever you choose, come ready to feast!
My Louisiana Outdoors
“I’ve met so many great people at fishing tournaments and it forms lifelong friendships. My love for fishing runs deep in my heart and soul. For me, it is not a hobby or something I do for fun. It is who I am and a way of life.”
