Paradise Plus Guide Service is a sure bet for outdoor enthusiasts, from novice to expert, seeking coastal Louisiana fishing and hunting charters, led by Captain Anthony Randazzo and his wife Julie, based in Buras, Louisiana — within an hour of downtown New Orleans. The business offers access to the best of Louisiana’s saltwater marshes, bayous, and bays.

South Louisiana offers superb fishing year-round, with nutrient-rich estuaries bordering the Mississippi Delta feeding seemingly infinite populations of game fish. Liberal daily limits include 5 redfish, 10 flounder, and 25 speckled trout per angler. Redfish are caught every month of the year, speckled trout are most common March through December, and Bull Reds (12-35 lbs, occasionally larger) run most common February through November. Trips stalk redfish and speckled trout in pristine shallow flats covered with marsh grass, near oyster reefs, along cane-lined shores, sandy coastal beaches, granite boulder jetties, and near-shore oil and gas platforms.

For duck hunters, Venice sits along the renowned Mississippi Delta Flyway, one of the most sought-after duck hunting destinations in the country. A special two-week teal season in September, followed by a duck and goose season mid-November through mid-January, sets the stage for a genuine “Cajun Cast and Blast” — hunting in the early morning and fishing in the afternoon (or vice versa), described by many as the ultimate sportsman’s adventure. Advance booking is strongly recommended.

For anglers and hunters near New Orleans looking for a genuine dual-season fishing and duck hunting operation in coastal Louisiana, Paradise Plus Guide Service offers a well-established experience with Captain Anthony and Julie Randazzo.
