Fullday inshore fishing charter targeting redfish and speckled troutAllinclusive package with bait, tackle, cleaning, and ice providedSunrise departure with flexible 8hour trip duration
Picture yourself casting lines into Louisiana's premier inshore waters as the sun paints the sky orange, then returning to the dock with a cooler full of fresh redfish and speckled trout. That's what you get with Captain Jaron Thomas on this world-class 8-hour fishing adventure in St. Bernard. We're talking about a proper full-day trip that starts at first light and keeps you on productive water until early afternoon, targeting the species that make Louisiana fishing legendary.
We launch around 6 AM when the bite is hot and the water's calm, giving you maximum fishing time before the afternoon winds kick up. Captain Jaron knows these St. Bernard waters like his own backyard – every grass flat, oyster reef, and tidal channel where redfish cruise and trout stack up. This isn't a cookie-cutter trip either. We tailor the day based on what you want to catch, current conditions, and where the fish are biting best. Whether you're dead set on sight-fishing reds in skinny water or want to work the deeper grass beds for keeper trout, we adjust our game plan to put you on fish. The best part? Everything's included – premium tackle, fresh bait, rods matched to the conditions, professional fish cleaning, and plenty of ice to keep your catch fresh and your drinks cold. You just show up ready to fish.
St. Bernard Parish offers some of the most diverse inshore fishing in Louisiana, and we fish it all depending on conditions and what's biting. When we're targeting redfish, expect to work shallow flats with live shrimp under popping corks, or switch to soft plastics when sight-fishing over oyster beds. The water clarity here lets you spot those copper-colored backs cruising the shallows – pure adrenaline when a big red peels drag on light tackle. For speckled trout, we'll drift the grass beds with live croakers or work topwater plugs along drop-offs during low light periods. Captain Jaron's boat is rigged with quality Penn and Shimano combos spooled with fresh line, plus a full arsenal of lures from proven producers like Matrix Shad and Gulp baits. We've got the live wells stocked with premium bait – frisky shrimp, croakers, and pogies that drive these fish crazy. The key to success here is reading the tides, water temperature, and staying mobile until we find active fish.

Redfish are the crown jewel of Louisiana inshore fishing, and St. Bernard's marshes hold some absolute giants. These copper-colored bruisers typically run 20-30 inches here, with bull reds over 40 inches prowling the deeper channels and passes. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, but winter can produce trophy fish when you find them stacked in warmer pockets. What makes reds so special is their fighting spirit – they'll strip drag like a freight train and bulldoze toward the nearest structure. Plus, they're not line-shy, so you can use heavier tackle when targeting bigger fish around oyster reefs and bridge pilings.
Speckled trout are the bread and butter of our inshore fishery, and these beautiful gamefish are abundant in St. Bernard's grass-rich waters. Most fish run 14-20 inches, perfect for the dinner table, but don't be surprised when a 4-pound gator trout crushes your topwater plug at dawn. The sweet spot for specks is March through June and September through November when they're feeding heavily and schooled up tight. They're incredibly responsive to live bait presentations, especially fresh shrimp fished under a popping cork over grass beds in 3-6 feet of water. What keeps anglers coming back for more is their delicate bite and acrobatic fights – plus they're hands-down the best eating fish in these waters.
This top-rated full-day fishing experience delivers everything serious anglers want – prime fishing time, expert local knowledge, quality gear, and waters loaded with redfish and speckled trout. Captain Jaron's reputation speaks for itself, and spots fill up fast during peak season. Whether you're visiting Louisiana or calling it home, this is the kind of fishing trip that creates lasting memories and keeps you planning your return before you even hit the dock. Don't wait – book your St. Bernard fishing adventure today and experience why this renowned charter keeps customers coming back year after year.
Captain Jaron's 24' Skeeter is built for serious inshore fishing in St. Bernard waters. This motorboat handles up to 5 anglers comfortably while you target redfish and speckled trout from sunrise to afternoon. The wireless trolling motor keeps things quiet when you're working shallow flats, while the fish finder helps locate schools holding in deeper pockets. Premium rods and reels are ready to go, plus there's an icebox to keep your catch fresh and drinks cold during the 8-hour trip. The onboard multimedia system and GPS navigation round out the setup. Everything's included - bait, tackle, fish cleaning, and ice - so you just show up ready to fish Louisiana's productive inshore waters where the action stays steady all day long.
Sciaenops OcellatusThese copper-colored bruisers are what Louisiana fishing is all about. Reds average 20-30 inches but can push 40+ pounds when you hook into a bull. Look for them in super shallow water - sometimes so skinny their backs show above the surface. They love mud bottoms around oyster reefs, marsh grass, and old structures where they hunt crabs and shrimp. Year-round fishing is solid, but fall brings the best action when they school up heavy. That distinctive black spot near their tail isn't just for show - it confuses predators and makes for a great photo. Reds fight hard with powerful runs that'll test your drag. The meat is sweet and firm, perfect for blackening. Pro tip: when you spot one tailing, wait for them to put their head down feeding before you cast. They're less likely to bolt.
Salmo TruttaAlso called Speckled Trout, these silvery beauties with black spots run 14-24 inches and typically weigh 1-5 pounds in our Louisiana waters. You'll find them cruising grass flats and shallow areas, especially at dawn and dusk when they're actively feeding on shrimp and small baitfish. They love water 2-8 feet deep around structure like oyster reefs and marsh edges. Spring through fall offers the best action, though winter can produce some nice schools in deeper channels. What makes specks special is their delicate fight and excellent table fare - that white, flaky meat is hard to beat. Here's a local trick: when you see them tailing in shallow water, cast your soft plastic ahead of where they're moving, not right at them. They spook easy but the patience pays off.
