Louisiana Redfish And Trout Fishing With Captain Robbie
Louisiana's inshore waters are some of the most productive fishing grounds in the Gulf South, and Captain Robbie Burke knows these marshes like the back of his hand. This 7-hour charter runs from 6 AM to 1 PM, giving you prime time on the water when redfish and speckled trout are most active. You'll fish the productive flats, channels, and grass beds where these species love to feed, all while learning from a captain who's made his living reading these waters for years. With all gear provided and a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy, you can book with confidence knowing you're in for a legitimate Louisiana fishing experience.
What to Expect on the Water
Captain Robbie runs a tight ship that accommodates up to 2 anglers, which means personalized attention and more fish per person. The boat launches early to beat the crowds and put you on fish during the morning bite when both reds and trout are feeding aggressively. You'll work a variety of structure - from shallow grass flats where redfish tail in knee-deep water to deeper channels where schools of trout suspend near drop-offs. The captain reads conditions daily and adjusts the game plan accordingly, whether that means throwing topwater plugs at first light or working soft plastics through deeper pockets as the sun climbs. Every trip includes digital photos so you can prove those fish stories back home, plus full cleaning and filleting service so your catch goes straight from the boat to your cooler.
Techniques and Tackle Setup
Louisiana inshore fishing is all about matching your presentation to the conditions and what the fish are telling you. Captain Robbie comes equipped with a full arsenal of rods, reels, and terminal tackle suited for everything from sight fishing shallow reds to working schools of trout in deeper water. You'll likely throw a mix of live bait and artificials depending on what's working - live shrimp under popping corks for trout, cut mullet on the bottom for bull reds, or soft plastic paddle tails worked through grass beds. The captain provides both fresh and live bait, plus a selection of proven lures that produce in these waters. Techniques range from slow-rolling jigheads through grass to sight casting at tailing redfish, and Captain Robbie will coach you through whatever method is working that day. The gear is sized appropriately for the target species - medium-action spinning rods that can handle a 30-inch red but still let you feel the fight from a 2-pound trout.

Species You'll Want to Hook
Redfish are the crown jewel of Louisiana inshore fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-28 inches in these waters, with plenty of slot fish that fight like freight trains. Reds feed year-round but really turn on during fall months when they school up for their spawning runs. They're structure-oriented fish that love shallow grass flats, oyster reefs, and marsh edges where they can ambush prey. What makes redfish so special is their willingness to eat and their bulldogging fight - once hooked, they'll make powerful runs and use their broad sides to fight you all the way to the boat. You'll find them tailing in skinny water during low light periods, and sight casting to these fish is about as good as inshore fishing gets. The bite stays consistent through most weather conditions, making them a reliable target species.
Speckled trout, or "specks" as locals call them, are the bread and butter of Louisiana inshore fishing. These spotted beauties typically run 14-20 inches in these waters, with occasional catches pushing 25 inches or better. Trout are more temperature sensitive than redfish, preferring cooler months from October through April when they stack up in deeper channels and around structure. They're schooling fish, so when you find one, there are usually more nearby. Specks have a more delicate bite than reds, often just ticking the line or barely loading up the rod tip. They're excellent table fare with white, flaky meat that's perfect for frying or grilling. Spring and fall see the best trout action when they move shallow to feed on shrimp and small baitfish. The key to consistent trout fishing is staying mobile and working different depths until you locate active schools.
