Griffin Fishing Charters & Lodge offers New Orleans’ top-rated all-inclusive fishing charters and lodge experience out of Barataria, Louisiana, just 30 minutes south of the city. For more than 25 years, the business has hosted families, friends, and corporate groups of all sizes, up to 50 guests, at its newly renovated waterfront lodge directly on the bayou.
The most popular booking option is the All-Inclusive Package, covering a guided inshore Redfish fishing charter with a top-notch local guide, all bait, tackle, rods, reels, snacks and soft drinks, lodging in a private suite at the renovated lodge, and delicious dinner, breakfast, and lunch prepared by an onsite Cajun chef — guests just need a fishing license (16+) and a cooler for the trip home. Southern Louisiana’s marshes and swamps produce redfish, speckled trout, and black drum year-round, with generous daily limits and no off-season.
Beyond the all-inclusive package, options include dedicated Louisiana Redfish Charters, Louisiana Inshore Fishing Day Trips, Group Fishing Trips (family trips, bachelor parties, corporate charters, celebrations for friends and couples), and Black Drum Fishing. The lodge offers a genuine full-service experience: wake up, have breakfast, fish, return to a chef-prepared meal, then relax by the fire pit or play cornhole. Fish shipping is available (dry ice packed, priced by weight/location), and shuttle transportation to/from the airport or downtown New Orleans hotels can be arranged.
Guest testimonials are extraordinarily numerous and consistently glowing, describing the lodge as the “best outfitter in the region,” with guides praised for turning complete fishing rookies into confident anglers, exceptional Cajun food, and immaculate, spacious accommodations — many guests specifically mention driving or flying from other states just to return annually.
For families, friends, and corporate groups near New Orleans looking for a genuinely comprehensive all-inclusive fishing and lodging experience, Griffin Fishing Charters & Lodge offers an exceptionally well-reviewed, more than 25-year established operation in Barataria.
