The Louisiana marsh is a true sportsman’s paradise where you can cast to happily feeding fish without another boat in sight. Book your adventure today.
Why choose LA Tails?
Will is a fifth generation Louisiana native and lifelong fisherman with intimate knowledge of his home estuary and the fish therein. Whether it be on fly or spin tackle, his focus is shallow water sight fishing for redfish throughout the inshore marshes of South Louisiana.
Capt. Will runs a plush East Cape Evo 18’ poling skiff making the long runs here in comfort, stocked with top of the line fly and spin gear rigged with the local favorites redfish can’t get enough of. He is usually chasing bulls on the outer fringes, but on those blustery days, slot fish on the inside provide endless entertainment. As a licensed and fully insured USCG Captain, Will safely navigates the ever changing labyrinth of bayous, bays, and ponds that make up the beautiful South Louisiana marsh making sure everyone gets back in one piece.

What is the best time of year to fish in Louisiana?
Louisiana is a year round fishery, so success depends more on the conditions than the season. Sight fishing is best when the wind lays down and the sun comes out, which can happen any time of year, but you can stack the odds in your favor by fishing late summer, fall, and early winter. Don’t come down here in March - it’s crazy windy. For a more in depth view of how the fishing changes throughout the year, check out my Seasonal Fishing Patterns page.
