What's the Deal?

Listen up, folks – here's what you're in for with our full-day charter. We're hitting the inshore waters hard, from sun-up to sundown. You'll be fishing the legendary Louisiana marshes, where the fish are plentiful and the scenery's something else. Our seasoned captains know these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some prime fishing spots. We've got a comfortable, well-equipped boat that'll keep you fishing in style all day long. And don't worry about being a pro – whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, we'll make sure you're hooked up with some quality catches. Just remember to bring your own grub, 'cause we'll be too busy catching fish to worry about lunch!

Marsh Madness Tactics

Alright, let's talk strategy. In these inshore waters, we're not just casting and hoping – we're using tried-and-true techniques that'll put you on the fish. We might start off sight-fishing for reds in the shallows, watching for those telltale tails waving in the air. When the trout are biting, we'll switch it up with some popping cork action or maybe even some topwater lures if the conditions are right. For those stubborn flounder, we'll slow things down with some bottom bouncing. And don't even get me started on the black drum – these bruisers will give you a workout on light tackle. We've got all the gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest in fish-finding tech. All you need to bring is a good attitude and maybe a lucky hat!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the stars of the show – the fish you'll be chasing in these waters. First up, we've got the redfish. These copper-colored beauties are the pride of Louisiana, known for their strong runs and that distinctive spot on their tail. They love hanging around structure and can grow to over 40 inches in these parts. Spring and fall are prime time for reds, but honestly, they're biting year-round.

Next, we've got speckled trout. Don't let the name fool you – these aren't no little fish. Specks are aggressive feeders and put up a great fight on light tackle. They school up in the cooler months, making for some fast and furious action when you find 'em. Nothing beats the sound of a big trout smashing a topwater lure at dawn.

Flounder might not be the prettiest fish in the sea, but boy, are they tasty. These flatfish are ambush predators, lying in wait to snatch up passing baitfish. They're most active in the fall when they start their migration to spawn. Catching a big doormat flounder is always a highlight of any trip.

Last but not least, we've got the black drum. These cousins of the redfish can grow to massive sizes, with some monsters topping 50 pounds in our waters. They've got a distinctive chin barbel that helps them root out crabs and shrimp from the bottom. Spring is prime time for big bulls, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

I'll tell you what – there's something special about fishing these Louisiana waters that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of battling a big red in the shallow marsh, or the satisfaction of limiting out on specks before lunch. Could be the way the sun sets over the bayou, painting the sky in colors you didn't even know existed. Or maybe it's just the laid-back vibe of being out on the water with good company, swapping stories and making memories. Whatever it is, one trip is never enough. We've had folks book their next charter before we even hit the dock!

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black drum are the big bruisers of Louisiana's inshore waters. These beefy bottom-feeders can grow over 90 pounds, though most run 5-30 pounds. You'll find them hanging around oyster beds, mudflats, and other structures in brackish areas. Spring's the prime time as they school up to spawn, making for easier targeting. Folks love drum fishing for the hard-pulling fight and tasty meat of smaller fish. To land one, use fresh crab or shrimp on a bottom rig. Here's a local tip: listen for their distinctive drumming sound to locate schools. Black drum aren't picky eaters, so once you find 'em, you're in for some action. Just remember, the bigger ones over 15 pounds get tough and lose flavor, so consider releasing those big boys.

Redfish

Redfish are the rockstars of Louisiana's marshes. These copper-colored bruisers, known for the distinctive spot near their tail, typically run 28-33 inches but can push 50 pounds. You'll find them tailing in shallow water, often just 1-4 feet deep, around oyster reefs, grass flats, and marsh edges. They're year-round targets, but fall and winter can be especially good. Anglers love reds for their powerful runs and excellent eating quality. To catch 'em, try sight-fishing with soft plastics or topwater lures in ultra-shallow water. Here's a local trick: look for "backing" redfish – their exposed backs as they feed in inches of water. Redfish put up a stubborn fight and make for some of the best fish tacos you'll ever taste.

Sea Trout

Sea trout, also called speckled trout, are a Louisiana inshore favorite. These silvery, spotted beauties typically run 14-24 inches and 1-5 pounds. You'll find them in grass flats, shallow bays, and around structure in both fresh and saltwater. They're most active in cooler months, with fall and winter being prime time. Anglers love specks for their aggressive strikes and excellent table fare. To target them, try working topwater plugs or soft plastics around grass edges at dawn and dusk. Here's a local tip: on calm mornings, look for "slicks" on the water's surface – these oily patches often indicate feeding trout. Sea trout put up a good fight and make for some tasty fillets, so they're always a crowd-pleaser on our trips.

Summer Flounder

Summer flounder, or fluke, are crafty ambush predators that'll keep you on your toes. These flatfish blend right into the seafloor, using both eyes on their left side to spot prey. Most run 15-20 inches, but they can hit 26 pounds. Look for them in estuaries and inshore waters, especially near sandy or muddy bottoms. Fall's prime time, with September to November offering the best action. Anglers love flounder for their unique fight and delicious, flaky meat. To up your odds, try drifting live minnows or mullet on a bottom rig. Here's a local trick: when you feel a bite, wait a few seconds before setting the hook. Flounder often grab bait sideways, so giving them time to turn it helps you stick more fish.
