Out Da' Bayou Premieres on Field & Stream TV, Bringing the Real Louisiana to Outdoor Audiences Nationwide

Hosted by John Jackson, the Cajun Lifestyle Network series pairs world-class fishing and hunting with authentic Cajun cuisine and the people who keep South Louisiana's traditions alive

Out Da' Bayou has launched on Field & Stream TV, taking viewers deep into the heart of Louisiana's outdoors, where world-class fishing, hunting, and Cajun culture come together in every episode.

Hosted by John Jackson, the series follows the adventures, food and people that make South Louisiana one of the most unique places on earth. Episodes range from inshore and offshore fishing for Louisiana's finest to hunts for waterfowl, deer, and the state's unique game, then follow the day's harvest into the kitchens, camps, and backyard boils where great food brings people together.

Along the way, Out Da' Bayou introduces viewers to the seasoned guides, commercial fishermen, hard-working families and local legends who keep Louisiana's outdoor traditions alive. From hidden bayous and marshes to legendary waterways and historic small towns, each episode captures the bayou's sights, sounds, and flavors, and a way of life built on faith, family, freedom, and the outdoors.

The series is part of the Cajun Lifestyle Network, The Louisiana Lifestyle Channel, which delivers fishing, hunting, cooking, and culture programming rooted in the traditions of South Louisiana.

"Fishing, hunting, great food and the people who make Louisiana special. That's Out Da' Bayou," said John Jackson, host of Out Da' Bayou. "We don't stage any of it. These are real guides, real families, and real recipes, and bringing them to Field & Stream TV means more folks across the country get to see the Louisiana we live every day."

"Out Da' Bayou captures everything our viewers love about the outdoors, from the hunt and the catch to the meal and the people around the table," said Jamie Wilkinson, EVP, Outdoor America. "John Jackson and the Cajun Lifestyle Network team bring an authentic slice of South Louisiana to our lineup, and we're proud to share it with our audience every week."
