Many of Louisiana's year-round saltwater opportuniites, both offshore & inshore, were developed in the past 10 years. In that time, there's been a growth of fly fishing in the state, and catch-and-release has replaced the ice-chest as a measure of fishing success. Whether you're sight-casting, blind-casting, surfcasting, or casting from your "mud-boat, " here's your chance to hook into your biggest fish ever.
