Fishing in Louisiana
and Other Fun Stuff in Terrebonne / Lafourche Parishes

John C. Jones

There is more fishing in Lousiana than one could do in a lifetime.  There is fishing inland in the rivers, lakes and swamps.  There is fishing in the gulf and deep sea. It is all around you no matter where you are in this great outdoors state!

This month I am spotlighting the parishes of Terrebonne and Lafourche. Fun stuff to do, and places to go.  For fishing, the marinas and guide services are limitedless. 

"With some of the best in world-class fishing, Houma's unique combination of deep sea, coastal, brackish and freshwater fishing will always make it a true fishing paradise.  Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Houma is "engulfed" by sea, swamps and marshes.  Here you are able to choose your fishing adventure.  You can fish the saltwater monsters like king mackerel and cobia or go inland to find redfish, speckled trout, bass and drum."

 

One of the wonderful marina restaurants to dine at is Coco Marina.

We personally used this service and found it excellent!

Here is one of Marshland Guide Service's beautiful customers with a "great catch" and happy,

"I'll come back for more look."

 

If you are traveling in the area on your way to fish and like folk art, you will find plenty at the

Chauvin Sculpture Garden and NSU Folk Art Studio,

an extension of Nicholls State University

Artist, poets, songwriter, all find creative expression in the wetlands.  There is not a lot known about Kenny Hill, the bricklayer, but on Bayou Petit Caillou in Chauvin he shows us the world through his eyes. Kenny, a reclusive artist that left us with 100 Folk Life sculptures before he relocated to Arkansas and established a Folk Life center that is in the top 10 Folk Life sites to visit in America.

 

 

The Bayou Terrbonne Wildlife Museum is another "don't miss" place to visit.

 

The Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum preserves and promotes the area's long, colorful and historically important connection with the seafood and water transportation industries, as well as other wetlands and water based hunting, gathering and mining occupations.  http://www.houmaterrebonne.org/waterlife.asp
