The Bayou Breakdown

Bayou Tiger was born from a memory—one that roars with pride, grit, and Southern charm.

Back in the 1960s and ‘70s, my father was a hardworking salesman for Devoe Paint, covering Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. He knew the roads like the back of his hand and always had a CB radio riding shotgun in his car. His handle? Bayou Tiger. That name stuck with me—a symbol of drive, independence, and a little bit of Southern swagger.

Today, Bayou Tiger lives on as more than just a nickname. It’s a brand that honors those roots while celebrating Gulf Coast life in all its wild, sun-soaked glory.

Our online store offers bold, coastal-inspired gear including:

• T-shirts

• Trucker hats

• Chest and drawstring bags

• Fishing shirts

• Golf towels

• Can coolers

• Even Gulf-themed Christmas tree skirts

And at the heart of it all is our trademarked design:
"I’ve Been Fishing the Gulf of America™"
It’s more than just a statement—it’s a badge of honor. Whether you grew up casting a line with your granddad, or you just appreciate the salt air and coastal vibe, this phrase connects us all to the spirit of the Gulf.

We’re here for the storytellers, the weekend anglers, the road trippers, and the ones who never stop repping where they’re from.

Thanks for stopping by Bayou Tiger.
