What to Expect
Hook & Reel Charters offers multiple packages to choose from to best fit your hunting and fishing needs. Your options include the Fishing Charters Package, the Duck Hunting Package, or the Cast and Blast Package (includes both a morning hunt and an afternoon fishing trip). Pricing for the packages depend on how many people will be going on the trip, and each package can include up to four people. When it comes to supplies, our packages have you covered by providing you with a 24-foot Skeeter boat with dual power poles, along with high-quality bait, tackle, and ice chests for storage. The staff will also take care of cleaning and bagging the fish so that you can focus on enjoying your trip.
Types of Fish
There are a few things you need to know before fishing in Louisiana’s waters, such as which fish you can catch and what is prohibited. For example, in Delacroix, you have the opportunity to catch redfish, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, sheephead, and bass. You are prohibited, however, from possessing species including but not limited to pallid sturgeon, gulf sturgeon, shovelnose sturgeon, and others listed by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries. There are also daily bag and possession limits depending on the size, species, and areas in which you are fishing.
Fishing Licenses and Permits
The state of Louisiana requires each person over the age of sixteen to acquire a basic fishing license if you plan to go recreational fishing. You also need to get a saltwater license if you want to fish below the saltwater line. If you are not sure exactly where you will be fishing, it would be a good idea to get both a basic fishing license and a saltwater license before your trip. Once you have a basic fishing license, you are allowed to use certain gear such as a casting net and a hook and line, but some other types of gear will also require you to purchase applicable gear licenses.
