GEAR

Rods and reels, flies, tackle etc., are available for client use. For those bringing their own gear, the following recommendations are given.

For fly fishermen, 8-weight rods are recommended. Reels should have a good drag system, and floating lines are needed for shallow-water sight-fishing. Fly patterns and recipes are available upon request.

For bait-cast/spin fishermen, a medium or medium/heavy rod is best, matched with a reel with a good drag system. Spoons, spinners and minnow patterns are best.

Marsh Madness clients fish from a 19-foot shallow-draft center-console Bay Seaker flats boat. 

ACCOMMODATIONS / ATTRACTIONS

Southeast Louisiana is the epicenter of Cajun culture, with a wide variety of sightseeing adventures. The region features arguably the best cuisine on the planet, and is home to some of the nicest folk you'll ever meet.

Instead of trying to "re-invent the wheel" and attempting to list all of the area's attractions, we recommend calling our local Tourist Commission at (985) 868-2732. Or visit their website at www.houmatravel.com, which provides a vast amount of information on attractions, restaurants and accommodations.
