Red Snapper
While Lafitte is closer to inshore fishing, accessing Red Snapper requires a boat capable of reaching offshore waters. The artificial reefs and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, accessible from Lafitte, are prime Red Snapper habitat. Summer is the peak season, with specific dates set by federal regulations. Check these dates before planning your trip! Heavy tackle is essential for these hard-fighting fish. Use large, live or cut bait fished on the bottom around structure. A fish finder is invaluable for locating reefs and schools of Snapper. Remember, compliance with size and bag limits is crucial for maintaining a healthy fishery. Chartering a local boat is often the best option for those unfamiliar with the area or without the necessary offshore equipment, providing both expertise and access to productive fishing grounds.
