If it has been a while since you hit the open waters and cast a line, this is the weekend to rediscover fishing.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries announces a free fishing weekend this Saturday and Sunday. This is a chance to dust off the old pole, reel in a catfish, and spend time outside. The weather is forecasted to be sunny and dry both days so it’s a good time to get out on the water. You can also use this weekend to introduce the hobby to a younger relative and show them the ropes. Louisiana is full fishing spots so take advantage of this opportunity to fish for free.
