Description: This fishing charter 30 minutes from New Orleans on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish offers the chance to fish the same wildlife-filled bayous that pirate Jean Lafitte roamed almost 200 years ago. Groups of two to 100 people depart the Sea-Way Marina in Lafitte aboard Capt. Theophile Bourgeois’s 24-foot boats, specially designed for shallow-water draft, and head deep into the bayou for fly- and spin-fishing for speckled trout, drum, and flounder. Charters depart at 5 a.m. (returning 11:30 a.m.) and 1 p.m. (returning at dark). Overnight accommodations in a two-bedroom bed-and-breakfast Cajun cabin complete with optional personal chef and fishing trips are available.
