St Bernard Full Day Fishing Adventure
Captain Jaron Thomas knows these Louisiana waters like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on fish from sunrise to sunset. This full-day charter in St. Bernard Parish is perfect for serious anglers who want to make the most of their time on the water. We're talking about eight solid hours of fishing, starting around 6 AM when the water's glass-calm and the fish are waking up hungry. With space for just two anglers, you get the personal attention that makes all the difference between a good day and a legendary one.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day starts early - that's when the magic happens out here. Captain Jaron will have you rigged up and ready before most folks have had their morning coffee. The beauty of St. Bernard's inshore waters is the variety - one minute you're sight-casting to tailing redfish in skinny water, the next you're working a grass bed loaded with hungry speckled trout. The boat's equipped with everything you need: quality rods and reels, fresh bait, and all the terminal tackle. Don't worry about bringing a cooler either - ice is provided to keep your catch fresh and your drinks cold. When it's time to head home around 2 PM (or whenever you've had enough), Captain Jaron will clean your fish so they're ready for the dinner table.
Inshore Tactics That Work
St. Bernard Parish offers some of the most productive inshore fishing in Louisiana, and Captain Jaron knows how to work it all. Depending on tides and conditions, you might be throwing live shrimp under popping corks near oyster reefs, or pitching soft plastics into marsh cuts where redfish love to ambush baitfish. The shallow flats here are perfect for sight fishing - there's nothing like watching a big red cruise up to your bait in two feet of crystal-clear water. For speckled trout, we'll focus on grass beds and drop-offs where they school up to feed. Captain Jaron reads the water conditions daily and adjusts techniques accordingly - whether that means switching from live bait to artificials, or moving from deep holes to shallow flats based on what the fish are telling us.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish are the crown jewel of Louisiana inshore fishing, and St. Bernard Parish is ground zero for some of the best red fishing on the Gulf Coast. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-30 inches here, with plenty of slot fish perfect for the dinner table and enough oversized bulls to test your drag system. Reds are most active during moving tides, especially around oyster beds and marsh edges where they hunt for crabs and shrimp. What makes them so special is their fight - they'll make long, powerful runs that'll have you questioning your knot-tying skills. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, but even winter days can produce when you know where to look. Captain Jaron has spent years learning their patterns in these waters, from the shallow flats where they tail like bonefish to the deeper channels where the big bulls cruise.
Speckled trout might not fight as hard as redfish, but they're just as rewarding to catch and even better on the dinner table. These beautiful fish with their spotted flanks and sharp teeth are structure-oriented, hanging around grass beds, oyster reefs, and channel edges. In St. Bernard waters, you'll find specks ranging from 12-inch school fish up to 20+ inch gator trout that'll make your day. They're most active during low-light periods - early morning and late afternoon - which is why our sunrise start gives you such an advantage. Specks are also more temperature-sensitive than reds, so spring and fall typically offer the hottest action. What anglers love about trout fishing here is the numbers game - when you find a good school, you can catch them one after another until your arms get tired. They'll hit everything from live shrimp to soft plastic jigs, and there's real skill involved in reading the structure and presenting your bait just right.
Time to Book Your Spot
