About Bayou
Buck Lures

Creating Innovative Lure & Tackle Designs Since 2001

Gary “Buck” Thompson has fished for most of his life, and has focused on the beautiful and unique coastal regions of Louisiana for the last 40 years targeting Speckled Trout and Redfish.

Buck started designing and making his own coastal lures as a hobby 20 years ago due to the limited amount of quality coastal tackle at that time. That hobby soon developed into a business hobby and still is today.

Buck finally retired last year after spending 30 years in the Petro Chemical Engineering business and 18 years in the Steel Fabrication business. He now spends more time enjoying life on the water and camping with his wife Sherryl.

Buck enjoys the therapy of making lures when he is not fishing or camping and he is very proud of the fact that his products are made in the U.S.A. and are only sold at Independent Tackle Shops and Online.

When conditions are tough, you need a lure that could change a bad day on the water into a successful fishing trip and Bayou Buck’s Lures and Tackle can give you the edge to help you do just that

Quality American Made Lures and Tackle.
