Night bowfishing in Lafitte, Louisiana has been heating up! With the calm summer nights rolling in, visibility is prime and the action has been steady. Local marshes, canals, and backwater flats are lit up and full of targets, giving anglers an exciting shot-after-shot experience.
The most common species showing up in the lights right now are gar, sheepshead, flounder, and freshwater drum. Mullet and carp are also cruising in good numbers, especially along grassy banks and muddy flats. Most shots are within 10–15 feet, and the water clarity has been solid thanks to light winds and low tides.
This week’s top tides are late evening outgoing, and the bite starts picking up just after sundown. Clear LED rigs are doing great for spotting fish early, and airboats are gliding smoothly across the shallows without much traffic. If you’re looking for nonstop action with a bow in your hands and a cooler full by midnight, now’s the time to book a night in Lafitte.
