About

Since 1986, Gus' Tackle & Nets has served the southeast Louisiana region as it's premiere, locally owned fishing shop.  What started as a family net shop eventually expanded to become a beloved tackle shop that includes a complete line of salt and fresh water fishing supplies.  We carry top brands such as Shimano, Abu Garcia, Penn, Shakespeare, Daiwa, St. Croix, Falcon, Castaway, and Duckett Fishing.    Located in Slidell, LA, we are just minutes from Lake Pontchartrain, Lake Borgne, Irish Bayou, and Lake Catherine.  Our fishing product inventory includes thousands of items that you can browse through.  Ask the local fishermen where their go-to shop is and they will point you straight to us!
