Father’s Day offered a perfect opportunity for a local retreat to Hopedale, Louisiana. Despite persistent and stiff winds blowing from the southwest, the day proved productive by focusing on the interior marsh rather than hunting for trout in open water.

Finding clean, moving water paired with active baitfish proved to be the key to success. The marsh is currently holding an impressive number of juvenile redfish, which is a promising sign for the health and sustainability of the local breeding population.

In addition to the redfish activity, the speckled trout remain very healthy. Anglers are consistently seeing large numbers of quality fish in the 20-inch-plus range, along with plenty of juvenile trout present in the system. It is a great time to be out on the water, provided you locate the right conditions and bait movement.

Veterans day of Service

Had the pleasure to take Mr Nolan fishing ( Ret AF vet) 1st Redfish caught in his lifetime.


Dad & Son's fishing Rodeo St Martin Scho

This crew was so excited to fish with me, they picked me because of the boat. The kids were so intuned to my instructions they caught more than the dads. They had linked to the Bluetooth and got to play their own playlist, Capt Jason had surprise bags of candy onboard, and best of all they were able to sit in the Capt. Seat . So so much fun with this crew .


2 hr Evening trip Delacroix Island

We went out in search of some keeper reds , we battled thru a few big boys and found some 17"-19" keepers popping cork style.


Step into the marshes of St. Bernard Parish and experience one of Louisiana’s most productive inshore fisheries with Jason’s Saltwater Guide Services, run by Captain Jason Williams. Based just a short drive from New Orleans, this locally operated guide service gives anglers of all backgrounds the chance to enjoy the region’s renowned fishing without the stress of planning it all yourself. Captain Jason brings over two years of professional guiding experience and a lifelong connection to these waters. His calm, knowledgeable approach puts guests at ease — whether you’re stepping on a boat for the first time or returning with years of fishing under your belt. Each trip is designed around your goals and skill level, with the aim of giving you a relaxed, rewarding day on the water. Louisiana’s coastal marshes are home to a variety of sought-after species, and Captain Jason knows how to find them. Depending on the season and conditions, your trip may focus on Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, or Sheepshead. You’ll be using light tackle and casting into some of the most fish-filled zones the Gulf Coast has to offer. Trips begin at 6:00 AM, launching from Hopedale Highway in St. Bernard, and take place aboard a 23’ Tidewater bay boat that’s built for inshore waters. With room for up to four passengers, the boat is equipped with the gear and setup needed for a focused day of fishing. Rods, reels, and artificial lures are included, and live bait may be used depending on the plan — check with your captain before launch day. Families and kids are welcome, and Jason makes it a priority to create a safe, easygoing experience for younger anglers. If you’re bringing children, be sure to ask about child-sized life jackets, or bring your own to ensure a proper fit. To fish in Louisiana, all guests must carry a valid Louisiana fishing license, which can be purchased online in advance. Don’t forget to pack sun protection (lotion sunscreen only), sunglasses, and snacks. Bottled water will be available on the boat, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages — including alcoholic drinks in moderation. With a focus on delivering a well-run, down-to-earth charter, Jason’s Saltwater Guide Services makes it simple to enjoy everything the region’s waters have to offer. From the early morning cast to the final stop at the dock, Captain Jason is there to guide you every step of the way.&nbsp;
