Louisiana's Best Inshore Fishing Adventure

Ready to reel in some of Louisiana's most prized catches? Our Private 4-Person Fishing Charter is your ticket to a day full of action on the water. We're talking about battling redfish in the shallows, outsmarting speckled trout, and maybe even landing a monster black drum. This ain't your average fishing trip – it's a full-on Louisiana inshore experience that'll have you hooked from the get-go.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising through Louisiana's scenic waterways, rod in hand, with nothing but opportunity on the horizon. Our seven-hour trips run every day of the week, so you can scratch that fishing itch whenever it strikes. Don't sweat the gear – our captain's got you covered with top-notch equipment. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, we'll put you on the fish and show you the ropes. With room for up to four folks, it's perfect for a day out with your buddies or treating the family to some quality time on the bayou.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

We don't just cast and hope for the best – we're all about smart fishing. Depending on what's biting, we might be sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water, working soft plastics for trout around oyster reefs, or dropping live bait for hefty black drum. Our captain knows these waters like the back of their hand and will clue you in on the local tricks. You'll learn how to read the water, spot tell-tale signs of fish activity, and maybe even pick up a few knot-tying skills that'll serve you well long after the trip's over.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"We had a great time on the water with Captain Chad. He was friendly, extremely helpful and a pleasure to be with. We will definitely be back. He represents the best qualities of a professional Louisiana fishing guide." - Curran "Had a great time with Captain Chad and will do it again." - Patrick "Captain Chad is a 10. He worked at putting us on exactly what we wanted when fishing. He is personal and friendly, but gets the job done as a professional. Use him for all your Louisiana fishing needs as you won't have a better time with anyone else!!!" - Jerry

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bulldogs are the crown jewels of Louisiana inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot on the tail, redfish will test your drag and your nerves. They love to cruise the shallows, often revealing their location with a tell-tale 'tail' sticking out of the water. Fall is prime time for big bull reds, but you can tangle with these fighters year-round.

Speckled Trout: Don't let the name fool you – there's nothing small about the fight these fish put up. Speckled trout, or 'specks' as the locals call 'em, are known for their aggressive strikes and delicious flavor. They're most active in the cooler months, but summertime can see some monster trout lurking around deep holes and drop-offs. Topwater lures at dawn can lead to some explosive action you won't soon forget.

Black Drum: If you're after a true heavyweight champion, black drum are your target. These bruisers can grow to over 40 pounds and will make you work for every inch of line. They've got a sweet tooth for crustaceans, so crab or shrimp baits are your best bet. Spring is the hottest time for big drum, but you can find them year-round hanging around structure and deeper channels.

Sheepshead: Often called the 'convict fish' for their distinctive black and white stripes, sheepshead are the sneaky thieves of the inshore world. They're notorious bait stealers with a mouth full of human-like teeth perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. Winter is prime time for sheepshead, and hooking one of these clever fish is a badge of honor for any angler.

Flounder: These flatfish might not look like much, but they're prized for both their fight and their place on the dinner table. Flounder like to ambush their prey, so working a jig or live bait slowly along the bottom is your best bet. Fall sees a big run of flounder as they move to deeper waters, making it the perfect time to target these tasty bottom-dwellers.

Time to Book Your Spot

Listen, the fish are out there waiting, and our calendar's filling up fast. Whether you're looking to put some meat in the cooler or just want to experience the thrill of Louisiana inshore fishing, this trip's got you covered. We provide the know-how, the gear, and the hot spots – all you need to bring is your sense of adventure and maybe a cooler for your catch. Don't let another season slip by without getting in on this action. Give us a call, lock in your date, and get ready for a day on the water you'll be bragging about for years to come. The big one's out there – let's go catch it!

Black Drum

Black drum are the bulldogs of Louisiana's inshore waters. These stocky, silvery-gray fish with distinctive chin barbels can range from 5 to over 30 pounds. You'll find them in coastal bays and estuaries, often hanging around oyster reefs and channel edges in 5-15 feet of water. They're most active in spring and fall. Anglers love drum for their powerful fights and good eating, especially the smaller ones under 15 pounds. To catch 'em, use fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Here's a tip: listen for their distinctive "drumming" sound – it's actually the males calling to females during spawning season. When you hear it, you know you're in the right spot.

Black Drum

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are one of North America's most popular freshwater game fish, known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. Recognized by their greenish bodies with dark horizontal stripes and a large jaw extending past the eye, they thrive in warm lakes, ponds, and rivers. Typically weighing 1–5 pounds, trophy largemouth can exceed 10 pounds. They’re highly sought after by both beginner and experienced anglers for their challenging nature and abundance across many waterways.

Largemouth Bass

Redfish

Redfish are a prized catch in Louisiana waters, known for their copper-red color and distinctive black spot near the tail. These fighters typically range from 20 to 40 inches long, with some real bruisers pushing 50 pounds. You'll find them in shallow bays, around oyster reefs, and in coastal marshes, often in just a few feet of water. Fall and winter are prime seasons when the big bulls move inshore. Anglers love redfish for their hard-pulling fights and excellent table fare. To land one, try sight-casting with a gold spoon or soft plastic on a jighead. My local tip: Look for "tailing" reds in grassy flats during high tide – their tails sticking out of the water as they root for crabs. Cast just ahead of them and hold on tight!

Redfish

Sea Trout

Sea trout, also known as spotted seatrout or speckled trout, are prized inshore game fish found in coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. Recognized by their silvery body with black spots along the back and fins, they offer fast action and strong fights. Sea trout typically range from 1–5 pounds, but larger “gator” trout can exceed 8 pounds. They are often caught with light tackle using live bait or lures, making them a favorite target for anglers seeking both sport and table fare.

Sea Trout

Sheepshead

Sheepshead are the striped convicts of Louisiana's waters, known for their distinctive black bars and human-like teeth. These crafty fish typically run 2-5 pounds, but can reach up to 15. Look for them around pilings, jetties, and oyster reefs in 5-20 feet of water. They're most active in late winter and early spring. Anglers love sheepshead for their challenging catch and excellent table fare. They're notorious bait stealers, so you've got to be quick on the hook-set. Use small hooks baited with fiddler crabs or pieces of shrimp. Pro tip: when you feel a light tap, don't jerk – instead, slowly raise your rod tip and wait for the weight of the fish before setting the hook.
