Louisiana Sportsman Boat Show brings largest selection of the year to Baton Rouge area

The Louisiana Sportsman Show has always included a full complement of boat dealers, but this year's show scheduled for March 14-17 will provide an even greater focus on the latest boat offerings.

The Louisiana Sportsman Boat Show to be held at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center in Gonzales in conjunction with the Sportsman Show will include 15 boat dealers in a dedicated 75,000-square-foot building.

“Every major boat line and outboard manufacturer will be represented,” show organizer Jack Fisher said. “So you don’t have to drive all over the place to compare what is out there — you can simply walk through the Louisiana Sportsman Boat Show to look at all the features available in the current models of boats.”

The show will include dealers’ latest offerings for both fresh and saltwater fishing applications, but that’s not all.

“We’ll also have a full range of duck-hunting boats, along with kayaks,” Fisher said.
And the best part is that entry to the Louisiana Sportsman Boat Show is included in the general admission price of the Louisiana Sportsman Show.

“This way, you can check out all the boats, but move back and forth to the main show to see what fishing tackle and hunting accessories are available,” Fisher said. “You also can check out all the special events, like the Louisiana Sportsman Big Buck Contest, the 40-foot Bass Tub, archery shoots, the jambalaya cook-off and the Louisiana Sportsman Bass Championship Open.
“And it’s all available for one price.”

Brands to be available at the show include Alumacraft, Axis, Bayliner, Bentley Pontoons, Berkshire Pontoons, Blazer, Blazer Bay, Blue Wave, Boston Whaler, Carolina Skiff, G3, Gator Trax, Hanko Aluminum, Malibu, Nautic Star, Nitro, Premier Pontoons, Ranger, SeaArk, Shearwater, SilverWave, Skeeter, South Bay Pontoons, South Fork, Stratos, SunTracker, Tahoe, Tidewater, Tracker, Veranda, War Eagle, Xcel, Xcursion Pontoons, and Xpress.  Motor lines include Gator Tail, Mercury, MinnKota, Mud Buddy, ProDrive, Suzuki, Tohatsu and Yamaha.
