Book a Trip for Black Drum Fishing

Black Drum Fishing

At Griffin Fishing Charters and Lodge, our specialty is redfishing, but we also regularly catch slot size and bull black drum. We offer Louisiana inshore fishing charters to give you the opportunity to make your next big catch. When you fish with us, you’ll enjoy a thrilling experience out on the water as our fishing guides take you to top fishing spots with our charter fishing trips. Our local Louisiana fishing guides are extremely knowledgeable and can be as hands-on or as hands-off as you like to make your fishing charter experience as enjoyable as possible.

Catching Black Drum

Black drum, cousin to the redfish, often prefer shallow inland waters around sod banks and places where there are lots of natural hiding spots. These areas offer lots of food sources including crabs—in fact, fishing with crab bait has created success for many on drum fishing charters. Once you feel a nibble, you can enjoy a fight to reel them in! Our fishing charter captains have mapped all the best locations to find these intriguing fish and can help you experience the satisfaction that comes from reeling in a big one.

Black drum fishing is a fantastic opportunity to test your skills with good odds and enjoy time with friends or family members as you take in a sip of nature. We host seasoned experts as well as complete beginners—there is no requirement besides having the time of your life making lasting memories!

Louisiana Inshore Fishing Charters

Each of our Louisiana inshore fishing charters has been planned by a highly trained guide to ensure that you have the experience of a lifetime while trying to catch your next trophy fish. Our group fishing trips are fully private charters, so you can round up the guys, girls, coworkers, or whoever you can stand being on a boat with to join in on the fun.

Our Louisiana inshore charters run daily and include rods, reels, bait, and tackle, as well as everything you need to keep up your energy. Soft drinks and water are available to grab, and you’ll enjoy both breakfast and lunch while out on the water. After you return to the dock, our guides will clean and pack your fish to take home!

If you want to make an event out of your black drum fishing experience, you can choose to spend the night at the Griffin Fishing waterfront lodge. Enjoy more fishing and more memories with an all-inclusive fishing packages! After a full day of fishing and every meal provided by our Cajun-inspired kitchen, you’ll drift off to sleep inside one of our newly renovated suites. We have fully equipped suites ranging from one, two, and three bedrooms to help you clean up and get a good night’s rest before heading back out on the water for another day of catching bull black drum—if luck is on your side!

The facilities are above and beyond, way better than any fishing camp I have ever been to. The food and the dining area were fantastic.
