The Cajun Angler

Experience the ultimate inshore fishing adventure with The Cajun Angler, located in the heart of Saint Bernard, Louisiana. Since 1994, we’ve been proudly delivering unforgettable fishing trips deep in the bayous and marshes of Southeast Louisiana. Here, fishing isn’t just a pastime—it’s a way of life. When you fish with us, you’re not just booking a trip; you’re stepping into the rhythm of the Louisiana coast, where every sunrise promises a new story, every cast holds the potential for a trophy catch, and every guest leaves with memories that last a lifetime.

At the helm is Captain Mike Helmstetter, a true bayou native with over three decades of fishing experience and a US Coast Guard captain’s license. Born and raised in the region, Captain Mike knows these waters like the back of his hand—long before the convenience of GPS. His dedication, warm hospitality, and unmatched knowledge of the area's inshore fishing make every trip feel like time spent with an old friend. Captain Mike ensures every guest feels comfortable, confident, and excited from start to finish.

Fishing with The Cajun Angler means chasing some of the most exciting inshore species Louisiana has to offer, including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, and Black Drum. We tailor each trip to your skill level and preferences, making this an excellent choice for both families and hardcore anglers. With top-tier gear and a spacious 26’ Sea Hunt Bay Boat powered by a 300HP Yamaha engine, every trip is smooth, efficient, and full of action. Our setup is designed for light tackle fishing with techniques like jigging and popping corks, ensuring a thrilling and productive experience.

For added convenience, guests can stay overnight at our cozy bayou lodge—no need for pre-dawn travel. We’ll clean your catch for free, and if you're flying home, we offer optional shipping services so your fresh fish can be enjoyed with family and friends.
