Premier Louisiana Redfish & Trout Private Trip

Reel in Reds & Trout: St. Bernard Half-Day Trip

Get ready to chase some of Louisiana's most prized inshore species on this action-packed half-day fishing adventure in St. Bernard. We're talking about redfish and speckled trout, folks – the dynamic duo that keeps anglers coming back to these waters year after year. This 6-hour trip is your ticket to some of the hottest fishing spots in the area, guided by the local pros at Jason's Saltwater Guide Services LLC. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got the know-how to put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it.

What's the Deal?

Here's the scoop: We're running these trips from May 11th to August 29th, which is prime time for both redfish and specks in our neck of the woods. You and a buddy will hop aboard at the crack of dawn – 6 AM sharp – and we'll hit the water running. This isn't some cattle boat operation; it's just you, your fishing partner, and your guide, focused on putting you where the fish are biting. We keep it to weekdays (Monday through Saturday) to avoid the weekend warriors and give you the best shot at a cooler full of fish.

Tactics and Territory

We're not messing around with heavy gear here. Light tackle is the name of the game, giving you the most sport and the best feel for those subtle bites. We'll mix it up between popping corks for those surface-busting trout and drifting live bait for the bulldogging reds. Depending on where the fish are holding, we might be working the marshes, cruising the bays, or even hitting some nearshore structure. The beauty of inshore fishing is the variety – one minute you're sight-casting to tailing reds in skinny water, the next you're working a school of hungry trout under diving birds.

Fish on the Menu

Let's talk targets. Redfish, or red drum if you're feeling fancy, are the bruisers of the inshore world. These copper-colored battlers can range from rat reds in the 16-inch class all the way up to bull reds pushing 40 inches or more. They love to hang around structure, from oyster reefs to dock pilings, and when they hit, you'll know it. The fight is like trying to winch in a Volkswagen – all power and no quit.

Speckled trout, on the other hand, are the finesse game. These spotted speedsters are known for their soft mouths and acrobatic jumps. They school up, especially around bait, and when you find them, it can be non-stop action. Nothing beats the thrill of a topwater trout bite, watching that lure get demolished in an explosion of water. Plus, both of these species are excellent on the dinner table, so you're in for a treat if you decide to keep a few for the grill.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks, this isn't just fishing – it's a full-on Louisiana experience. The scenery alone is worth the trip, with sprawling marshes, winding bayous, and enough wildlife to fill a nature documentary. But it's the fishing that'll hook you for good. There's something special about feeling that first thump on the line, setting the hook, and battling a fish in its own backyard. And let's be real – the bragging rights of landing a trophy red or a stringer full of fat specks? Priceless.

The Nitty-Gritty

Now, let's cover the bases. You'll need to grab a Louisiana fishing license before you step on the boat – it's the law, and we don't mess with that. We're asking for a non-refundable deposit to lock in your date, which is fair considering how quick these trips book up in peak season. Everything else – the boat, the gear, the local knowledge – that's all on us. Just bring yourself, some sunscreen, and maybe a lucky hat.

Time to Lock It Down

Look, if you're even thinking about a fishing trip in St. Bernard, this is the one you want. Half a day is perfect – enough time to get on the fish and fill the box, but you'll still be back in time for lunch and a nap. We've got the spots, we've got the skills, and we're ready to put you on some serious fish. Don't sit on the fence too long, though. These trips fill up faster than a baitwell in shrimp season. Give Jason's Saltwater Guide Services LLC a shout, check the calendar, and let's get you booked. Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner. Tight lines, and we'll see you on the water!
