Houma Louisiana Fishing Charters
Light Tackle Charters is a father and son business and we take pride in what we do. Even if the fish are not cooperating, we guarantee you will still have a great trip and many lasting memories. We fish the Dularge area and have a network of Captains, so no matter if it’s just you and your spouse or a 40 client corporate trip, we can accommodate your needs. We also have lodging, so give us a call and come experience what South Louisiana has to offer!
Houma is located in Terrebonne Parish which is centered between the Mississippi River and the Atchafalaya River. It has been said that the Atchafalaya Basin is one of North America's greatest remaining Estuaries. That being said, it is no wonder why the waters around and below Terrebonne Parish are so rich with fish and wildlife. It is also said and we can attest to it that South Louisiana is one of the best, if not the best, place to fish in the Country for Speckled Trout and Redfish.
Inland fishing offers Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead and many more. Coastal and near coastal offers all of the before mentioned as well as Snapper, Cobia/Ling/Lemon fish, King Mackerel and many others.

Although April through September is considered the prime time of the year to fish, we have caught limits all year long with the exception of February. The cold fronts along with high pressure really slowed the fishing down. |
With the weather being a little more predictable in March, the reds and trout are much more active and easier to find. This is the time the fish move out of the marsh and into the local lakes to chase shrimp. April, May and June will offer superb trout fishing with an occasional 5 or 6 lb fish. June begins the calmer months of summer offering great offshore fishing for snapper, cobia and kings!
Our two Captains are Captain Gerald Ellender and Captain Joshua Ellender. We have fished the Dularge area for the majority of our lives and have a combined experience of over 50 years.
So do yourself a favor, come experience what South Louisiana has to offer and book a trip with Light Tackle Charters, because we guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Offshore Fishing
At this time we are not offering deep sea fishing charters. One of my good friends, Captain Ed Frekey with Tuna Time Charters, is strictly doing deep sea fishing trips. He has great customer service as well as a sixth sense of where the offshore fish are located. He fishes the Houma Oilman’s fishing invitational every year and his customers have placed in the top three almost every year. Great guy and a better fisherman, you will not be disappointed.
