Welcome friends,

Paradise Plus is back at home in Buras, LA. We survived Hurricane Katrina! And so did the spectacular fishing that thousands of our customers have come to love! We are fishing all of the same sweet spots from Empire to Venice on both side of the Mississippi River and even a few new ones.

If you're wondering about the Paradise Plus Lodge, it is completely restored and better than ever!  You can sleep, eat, and fish from the same property that we had used prior to Hurricane Katrina. We've added more sofas, bigger TV, foosball table, and even a karaoke machine!  We have updated the kitchen and purchased new grills and seafood boiling equipment too. It is business as usual from this point forward. We can sleep and fish up to twenty four anglers per day again.

While we are taking reservations for the upcoming season, please consider joining us for another successful excursion in the saltwater marshes of Buras and Venice. Not only our staff, but our entire community needs your support during this time of recovery and rebuilding. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about your next visit.

Sincerely,

Capt. Anthony Randazzo & Staff

Fishing

Unlike most fishing destinations in North America, south Louisiana offers superb fishing year round. Nutrient rich estuaries bordering the Mississippi Delta feed the seemingly infinite populations of game fish. Very liberal limits consisting of 5 redfish , 10 flounder, and 25 speckled trout per angler per day exist here. Redfish can be caught literally every month of the year, while speckled trout are most common from March thru December. A couple of flounder are boated each day, however, late summer is prime for larger catches. Trophy speckled trout are common in March, April, May, September, October and November. Bull Reds (those ranging from 12 to 35 pounds, and occasionally larger) are most common from February thru November, but can be encountered just about any month of the year.  You'll stalk redfish and speckled trout in pristine shallow flats covered with marsh grass, near oyster reefs, along cane lined shores, on the sandy coastal beaches, next to granite boulder jetties, and around the many near shore oil and gas platforms. Whatever you may envision, the Mississippi Delta has it all!

Duck Hunting

And if duck hunting is your passion, look no farther. Located along the notorious Mississippi Delta Flyway, Venice is one of the most sought after destinations in the country. A special two week teal season in September followed by a duck and goose season from mid November until mid January is perfectly coordinated for a Cajun Cast and Blast. This combination consists of hunting in the early morning and fishing in the afternoon. Many have said that this is the ultimate sportsman's adventure.  Please book early!
