Louisiana Redfish & Trout Inshore Adventure
Looking for a solid day on Louisiana's legendary inshore waters? This 7-hour guided fishing trip puts you right in the heart of some of the Gulf Coast's most productive redfish and speckled trout habitat. Captain Robbie knows these marshes, flats, and bayous like the back of his hand, and he's ready to put you on fish from dawn till early afternoon. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet with inshore fishing, this full-day charter gives you plenty of time to dial in your technique and fill the cooler.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day kicks off at 6:00 AM when the marsh is just coming alive and the fish are starting to move. Captain Robbie runs a tight ship with top-notch gear and knows exactly where to find active fish based on tides, weather, and seasonal patterns. You'll be working the shallow flats, grass beds, and structure where redfish and trout love to ambush baitfish. The boat stays comfortable for two anglers, giving everyone plenty of room to cast without tangling lines. By 1:00 PM, you'll have put in a solid seven hours of fishing time, and Captain Robbie will have your catch cleaned and filleted so you can head home with a cooler full of fresh Louisiana seafood. The digital photos he takes throughout the day mean you'll have proof of every good fish that comes over the rail.
Techniques & Tackle
This inshore fishery demands versatility, and Captain Robbie comes prepared with everything you need to match the conditions. Live bait like shrimp, croaker, and pogies work magic when fish are finicky, while artificial lures shine when they're actively feeding. You'll likely throw everything from soft plastics rigged on jig heads to topwater plugs that create explosive strikes in shallow water. The tackle is perfectly matched to the target species - sensitive enough to feel the subtle taps of feeding trout but strong enough to turn a bull redfish away from structure. Spinning gear dominates this fishery because of the casting accuracy needed around oyster bars, grass lines, and shallow flats. Captain Robbie reads the water constantly, adjusting tactics based on wind, tide, and fish behavior to keep you in the action all day long.

Target Species Breakdown
Redfish are the bread and butter of Louisiana inshore fishing, and for good reason. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-28 inches in these waters, with plenty of oversized bulls mixed in to test your drag system. Redfish feed aggressively in shallow water, often with their backs out of the water as they root around oyster bars and grass flats. They're year-round residents that bite consistently, though fall and spring offer the most explosive action when they school up in massive numbers. What makes reds so special is their fighting ability - they make powerful runs and use their broad sides to bulldoze against the current. Plus, they're fantastic table fare when kept in the slot limit, with firm white meat that's perfect for blackening or grilling.
Speckled trout bring a different kind of excitement to Louisiana's inshore waters. These spotted beauties are more finicky than redfish but reward patient anglers with acrobatic fights and excellent eating quality. Specks typically run 14-20 inches in these waters, with trophy fish over 25 inches always a possibility. They're structure-oriented fish that relate to drop-offs, grass beds, and oyster reefs where they ambush shrimp and small baitfish. Spring and fall are prime time for big trout, though they bite year-round when you find the right water temperature and bait concentration. Trout fishing requires more finesse than redfish - they have soft mouths and sharp teeth, so you need to stay tight on them without horsing the fight. Their delicate white meat is considered by many to be the best eating fish in the Gulf.
