Experience Louisiana’s coast with guided beach fishing—big Red Drum, family-friendly, all equipment included, perfect for anglers and adventures alike.
Imagine spending a day on Louisiana’s sun-drenched beaches, fishing for big Red Drum, soaking in the salt air, and sharing laughs with an expert guide—all without the need for a boat. That’s the gist of the Beach-Fishing Activity in Creole, offered by DragN TailZ Surf Fishing. While I haven’t personally cast a line on this tour, the glowing reviews and comprehensive details paint a promising picture. It’s an adventure aimed squarely at those craving an authentic, casual angling experience with a local flavor.
One common consideration for travelers: this isn’t a luxury boat cruise with all the frills—it’s a land-based, guided fishing trip that emphasizes simplicity, the joy of fishing, and the natural beauty of Louisiana’s coast. If you’re after a quiet, relaxing day catching monsters like Red Drum, this might be perfect. But if you’re looking for high-adrenaline or high-tech fishing, you might find this adventure more laid-back than some tours.
What we really like about this tour? First, the family-friendly and handicap-accessible approach, which makes it inclusive for kids, pets, and anyone with mobility challenges. Secondly, the enormous value of having all bait and gear provided, so you won’t need to worry about bringing a thing except your sunscreen, hat, and some snacks. The guide’s expertise shines through reviews that praise their knowledgeable guidance and willingness to share fishing tips and stories. On the flip side, a potential drawback: lunch isn’t included—so you’ll want to pack some bites for the day on the beach.
This guided experience is designed to keep things simple and enjoyable. You meet your guide at 160 Gulf Dr, Creole, and from there, the fun begins. The key appeal? No boat needed. Instead, your guide will take you right onto the beach, where you’ll set up for a day of surf fishing.
The location choices—Rutherford Beach, Holly Beach, or SW Louisiana beaches— change based on seasonal and tidal conditions, which means you’re always fishing in the best spot for the current circumstances. Your guide chooses the location, so you aren’t left guessing, and you’re free to focus on casting and relaxing.
Expect the guide to handle all the setup—baiting hooks, casting out gear, and even wading out into the surf. They’re there to ensure your outing is smooth and fun, especially if you’re new to surf fishing. We appreciate the mention of the guide’s knowledge and willingness to share details about catching large Red Drum and other species. It’s as much an educational experience as it is a relaxing day outdoors.
For a longer day, a camper setup is available at no extra cost. That means you can linger on the beach, perhaps enjoying a couple of drinks or just soaking up the scenery after the fishing is over.
If you’re lucky, you’ll land multiple 40-inch fish, as noted in a glowing review. The biggest thrill? Watching someone reel in a monster, which is practically guaranteed when fishing in this region known for big Red Drum. The tour emphasizes catch-and-release for fish over 27 inches, contributing to sustainable practices and a sense of conservation.
The beaches used—Rutherford, Holly, and SW Louisiana beaches— offer wide, sandy vistas perfect for casting from the shore. You’ll love the sense of space and the chance to hunt for seashells in between casts. The environment lends itself well to families with kids or pets, and the relaxed pace ensures you can ask questions, learn the craft, or just enjoy sunny beach time.
At $385 for up to two people, this might seem steep at first glance, but when considering all gear, bait, and guiding included, it quickly becomes an investment in both experience and fun. Plus, you’re getting a personalized, private tour—no shared boat with strangers—and the flexibility to choose the best location based on that day’s conditions.
It’s worth noting that you need to purchase a Louisiana fishing license, which is a small added expense but necessary for legal fishing. This allows you to fish with confidence, knowing you’re supporting local conservation efforts.
A review from a recent guest sums it up perfectly: “I am from South Louisiana and have never experienced anything like this! The guide was very knowledgeable and also happy to share all the details about the process of sharing these MONSTER fish.” People love the guides’ expertise, the opportunity to catch genuinely large fish, and how straightforward the process is—no hidden surprises or burdens.
The guide’s friendly, informative approach makes beginners feel comfortable, while experienced anglers may appreciate insider tips and the chance to land a trophy or two.
As with many guided outings, lunch is not included—so plan accordingly. Equipment and bait are provided, so all you need to focus on is having a good time, learning, and hopefully catching that impressive red fish.
If you’re seeking a laid-back, family-friendly fishing adventure on Louisiana’s iconic beaches, this tour hits the mark. It’s particularly ideal if you want a personalized guide, all gear included, and an experience centered around big, memorable fish. Lawyers, pets, or kids? No problem. The emphasis on ease and inclusiveness means everyone can enjoy.
For fish enthusiasts craving advanced techniques, high-speed boats, or a tour with lunch included, this setup isn’t a match. But for casual anglers, history lovers who appreciate local fishing culture, or families wanting a unique outdoor day, it’s a terrific option.
