How to Obtain Your Louisiana Fishing License with Toombs Adventures
Planning a fishing trip with Toombs Adventures in Lafitte, Louisiana? Before heading out on the water with Captain Jason Toombs, make sure you're set with a valid Louisiana fishing license. Whether you're targeting Redfish on an inshore trip or trying night bow fishing in Lafitte LA, having the right license is essential—and it’s easier to get than you might think.
What Type of Fishing License Do You Need?
For most guided trips with Toombs Adventures, a Louisiana Saltwater Charter Passenger License is the way to go. This special license allows out-of-state and in-state anglers to fish under a charter without needing a full annual fishing license. It covers both saltwater and freshwater species, making it ideal for inshore fishing in Lafitte. If you're bowfishing at night or casting lines during the day, this license has you covered.
Where to Buy Your Fishing License
You can purchase your Louisiana fishing license online through the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) website. Simply visit www.wlf.louisiana.gov, navigate to the “Licenses and Permits” section, and choose the appropriate license. You’ll need to provide basic information such as your name, date of birth, and address. Licenses are also available at many local retailers, including bait shops and sporting goods stores.
How Much Does It Cost?
As of now, the Charter Passenger License costs $10 for residents and $20 for non-residents, and it's valid for the duration of your charter trip. Prices are subject to change, so it’s a good idea to check the LDWF website for the most current rates and regulations before booking your trip with Toombs Adventures.
