Fishing & Hunting Trips

The Mississippi River Delta is widely recognized as one of the top fisheries worldwide – both inshore & offshore. “North America’s Largest River”, the Mississippi, which is the drainage for 37% of all North America, feeds the Delta with nutrient-rich freshwater. This creates a massive Louisiana inshore fishing nursery for the base food sources that all of the wildlife need that inhabit the Delta. Since there is an unmatched food source, gamefish of all species gravitate toward the Delta and some even call it home. Our stretch of the Delta represents nearly 14% of all US wetlands.
