This is true. Louisiana fishing is far superior to Florida. The difference is ridiculous.

That really depends on what you’re fishing for. Freshwater fishing is better in Florida. As far as saltwater species, Louisiana offers a chance at a higher quantity of fish no doubt, but the species variety is superior in Florida. You can’t catch lane snapper, snook, bonefish, permit, year round tarpon, and hogfish in Louisiana outside of the occasional outliers. You can target all of those species in FL. If we’re talking specks, reds, or tuna then yes, LA is vastly superior due to the proximity of the shelf and the habitat created by the river inshore
