Jason's Saltwater Guide Services LLC Fishing Charter Prices

Explore the winding saltwater marshes of Hopedale with Captain Jason, where changing conditions shape each day’s route through protected backcountry, inshore waters, and nearby reefs. The main draw is Redfish, pursued with live shrimp beneath popping corks, a hands-on approach that lets anglers watch and listen for the moment a fish takes the bait. Dead shrimp may also be used when conditions call for a different presentation. The private setting gives guests more personal guidance and time to enjoy the quiet marsh surroundings without sharing the boat with another party. Speckled Trout and other local fish may also enter the mix as Captain Jason searches for productive water. Guests must purchase a valid Louisiana fishing license before departure. A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the trip.

Leave the marsh behind and head toward the nearshore oil rigs, where Captain Jason Williams targets large Speckled Trout during the productive summer season. Depending on wind direction, tides, and water clarity, you may fish live bait beneath a popping cork or lower it deeper beside the structure.

Trips are available from May 1 through August 29, giving anglers a limited seasonal opportunity to experience this style of fishing off St. Bernard. Guests must obtain a valid Louisiana fishing license before the trip. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure the reservation.
