There's just not much available in the arena of guided hog hunting here in Louisiana. It's pretty much a split between public land (Wildlife Management Area) hunting and hunting club leases (private land or timber company land). I am unaware of any clubs that offer such hunts to non-members, or or any guides that operate on WMA's. Guided hunts are just not a thing down here. Your best bet for a paid hog hunt is Texas. Lots of ranches offer hog hunts with or without guides. Rates are quite reasonable for hog only hunts. Deer/hog combination hunts are more pricey. You can get a good idea of what's available by perusing the Outfitters and Guides section of the Texas Hunting Forum. http://texashuntingforum.com/forum/u...tters_&_Guides

There are a lot of hogs on the Honey Island WMA, just north of New Orleans. But it's not an easy hunt for someone not familiar with the area.

Now fishing is a different story. There are lots of high quality fishing charter opportunities - either for coastal marsh/lake fishing or blue water offshore. Quite a few operate out of the general New Orleans area, and many others out of various towns in S. W. Louisiana, . Take a look here: http://www.louisianasportsman.com/lp...FI&subcat=FI13

I suggest you consider two different trips, one for hog hunting and one for fishing, possibly hooking up a day or two in one state followed by a day or two in the other.
